Our Latest Project
Locale, Leicester.
A 40-seat neighbourhood restaurant. Three months.
A different business.
Before anything was signed, we looked.
Two days inside the operation, before a single recommendation. What we found: a 28-item all-day menu with an unclear offer and photography working against it. A 40-seat site whose kitchen struggled past ten simultaneous covers. Two electric hobs, pans washed between dishes, no flat top, no assembly organisation. Vacuum-packing that would not survive an inspection. A bar building six fresh juice combinations from scratch, fifteen minutes for two juices. An uncalibrated coffee machine. Raw-egg dishes leaving the pass.
Then the inspector walked in.
While we were still in the building, the EHO arrived unannounced. The result was not what the owners expected. We took the report to them and talked through what it would take to fix, not cosmetically but structurally. They signed a three month engagement the next day.
Systems first. Everything else follows.
A full restructuring plan for the offer: what to buy, what to sell, what to stop doing.
A section fridge and an assembly organisation the kitchen could actually run at service pace.
Direct from supplier sourcing, saving thousands each year without touching quality.
Drinks and coffee menus rebuilt. The machine calibrated. The list earning its place.
Morning juice batching with day-of-week par levels: two juices from fifteen minutes to two.
Food and drink standards re-established, documented, and trained into the team.
