Hospitality Industry
SUMMARY
Experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry is a rare and valuable commodity. Unfortunately, the bulk of the experience for the independent restaurant often comes solely from within that of his/her own restaurant. If you’ve ever watched Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, You’ve seen some extreme examples of operators who are in over their heads because they followed a dream, a passion, a family tradition without any formal training, education, or significant management experience in other well run restaurants.
VALUE PROPOSITION
Even if your restaurant doesn’t qualify as a Kitchen Nightmare, hiring an experienced restaurant consultant to identify your restaurants weaknesses, engineer your menu, and help you improve many aspects of your business may be a significantly beneficial investment.
