Our Growth and Profitability Assessment is designed for operators who know something is off, and are ready to do something about it. We frequently hear these common concerns:

 

What Does the Assessment Cover?

A complete view of how your business is operating today, with a view towards tomorrow.

 

The Assessment looks across six dimensions that determines whether a restaurant group can scale efficiently — not just the obvious ones. We’re looking for where you’re strong, where constraints are forming, and where the highest-ROI moves are for your next stage of growth.

Designed for Operators in a Specific Place

Is This the Right Time For You?

This is the right starting point if you’re a multi-unit restaurant group that’s cash-flowing, growth-ready, and starting to hit the ceiling of what informal systems and sheer hustle can support. 

An Assessment is also the first phase of any Full Course engagement. If you continue working with us, the report becomes the foundation for everything we build together, so the work is always grounded in what’s actually true for your business.

This may be right for you if:

  • You’re running 5–25+ locations and complexity is starting to cost you in ways that are hard to pin down
  • Revenue is real, but margins aren’t where they should be for the volume you’re doing
  • Growth is on the table, but you want to make sure the foundation is solid before you move
  • You’re considering franchising and need an honest answer on whether you’re actually ready
  • You know something is off — but you’re not sure where to focus first
  • You want to learn how to scale a restaurant group, or need a restaurant group growth strategy
  • Want to go from good to great, and need feedback from a multi-unit restaurant operations consultant

This may NOT be right for you if:

  • Your restaurant has wheels or is a pop-up
  • You’re in your first location and still figuring out the model
  • You’re looking for a generic audit rather than a strategic diagnostic built around your growth goals
  • You don't think you need restaurant unit economics consulting
  • You’re not open to honest assessment of what’s actually going on — we’ll tell you what we find, not what you want to hear
  • Your business has never made a profit, or has been in the red for over 3 months
  • Spending money to get restaurant profitability consulting seems silly to you
