Restaurant turnaround consultant in Texas

What a Texas turnaround engagement looks like

A turnaround is not a report. We read twelve to twenty-four months of P&L, an item-level POS export, the schedule, the lease and invoices from your top suppliers, then observe two or three services live — including a slow one — before anything is recommended. The output is a sized gap: what the establishment should keep at its current sales, what it keeps, and where the difference goes.

From there the sequence is purchasing and portioning, menu contribution, then labor scheduled against forecast covers. Most Texas independents carrying real drift land four to eight points of prime cost in the first quarter.

• Cash position and thirteen-week outlook before anything else
• Plate-level costing on the top fifty sellers
• Menu rebuilt around contribution margin, not price increases
• Labor model driven by forecast covers and sales per labor hour
• Supplier re-bid on the top ten purchase lines
• A weekly scorecard the owner can read in ten minutes

On the ground across the state

Financial, menu and labor analysis happens remotely; service observation, kitchen flow and team training happen in your building. Being in the state makes on-site days practical rather than an expense line, including multi-day training blocks and follow-up visits after the engagement closes.

Turnaround engagements start at $25,000, fixed against a written scope. The first thirty-minute call is free, and if the problem is one thing a strong GM can fix we will say so on that call.
