About
We have stood behind the desk on the bad nights
Hospitality Growth Advisors was founded on a simple frustration: owners kept paying for reports that described their venue back to them and stopped short of changing anything.
Our team comes out of general management, head-chef and beverage leadership across independent restaurants, cocktail bars, bistros and specialty coffee groups. That background decides how we work — we spend the first weeks on the line and in the accounts, not in a boardroom.
We take a small number of engagements at a time so that a senior advisor is genuinely present throughout, and we measure ourselves on the same numbers our clients report to their boards.
Our approach
Four steps, every engagement
A typical engagement runs six to twelve weeks. Here is the shape of it, from first conversation to the follow-up check.
- 01
Read the venue
Two to three weeks on the floor and in the accounts. P&L, roster, supplier invoices, POS data, reviews and a walk of every service.
- 02
Name the number
Every finding carries a dollar figure and an owner. If we cannot size it, we do not put it in the report.
- 03
Sequence the work
Ranked by cash impact against effort, with a named first ninety days. Twenty priorities is the same as none.
- 04
Stay until it holds
We train the managers who will run it after we leave, and we come back to check the numbers held.
Principles
- We work for the owner, never for a vendor commission.
- No engagement starts without access to the real numbers.
- Guest experience is a P&L line, not a soft value.
- If the recommendation cannot survive a short-staffed Friday, it is wrong.
