## What is The Restaurant Consultant?

Run a tighter restaurant, starting tonight.                                                                           
                                             
Lower food cost. Stronger margins. Cleaner shifts. Built by a 14-year operator who still runs a working restaurant.   
The Restaurant Consultant covers the 12 domains that eat independent operators' time and money — the work a consultant used to charge thousands of dollars a day for. Scheduling, food cost, prime cost, HR documentation, SOP generation, menu engineering, review response, crisis playbooks, and more — in one place, in your pocket, during dinner service.

Built for independent operators, not enterprise chains. Fast enough to help tonight, not six months from now.
                                                                                                                        
  What you get:
  • Scheduling and labor awareness that catches drift before it hits the P&L                                            
  • Food cost and prime cost tracking, surfaced as decisions, not dashboards
  • Menu engineering tied to actual item margin — reprice, reposition, or pull                                          
  • Guest review drafting and reputation monitoring                                                                     
  • SOPs, training logs, and HR docs your managers can follow without you                                               
  • A live consulting layer for the judgment calls software can't make alone
