Restaurant Consultant

A restaurant consultant is essential to a new restaurant whether you are adding a new item or a completely new menu. It’s not something you should leave to the inexperienced.

Namwaw Chef Services Group offers restaurant consultation that knows the effects of poor decision-making on restaurants. The brand specializes in analyzing and recommending best practices to keep restaurants open and profitable. The question concerning why some restaurants fail within the first five years has been debated and studied extensively. While there is no singular answer, many of these restaurants have similar characteristics which may have led to a sure downfall. Commonly cited reasons include poor management, a bad location, lousy customer service, or simply a lack of operations planning, which can defeat an establishment even before the doors have even opened.

From restaurant openings to menu planning, when you work with a national restaurant consultant, you can obtain a full analysis of your menu and more importantly, an assessment of your facility operations. Whether you are looking to cater to a specialized, niche food market or have established a traditional restaurant front, our consultants can provide innovative solutions to build your brand, improve foot traffic, and increase your profits.

Taking the Mystery out of Menu Consultation

The restaurant menu is the critical link between your chef (which represents your food brand) and your customers. National restaurant consultants provide menu development which can include the successful integration of one or two new items or a complete menu overhaul. The menu layout and design are just as important to customer satisfaction as the variety of dishes served. Yet, beyond the look, feel, and the resulting tastes from your menu, it is crucial to have a balance between food costs and the labor required to create your restaurant’s dishes.

An in-depth analysis and recommendations of a restaurant menu can include the following:

• adding limited-time-only offerings for an increased variety

• replacing stagnant menu items with new selections

• using menu choices to target your preferred customers

• determining food choices that are relevant to a community

• coordinating market decisions and kitchen staples with menu selections

Your restaurant’s menu should be re-evaluated on a regular basis to determine which items are not cost-effective or appealing to your clientele. Additionally, menu price adjustments can also work. Higher prices can be used to exhibit an exclusivity to your restaurant, while lower prices can encourage more visitors to your establishment.

Restaurant Ambiance and Comfort

As a restaurant consultant, we realize that your restaurant’s ambiance is a key factor in customer satisfaction. From furnishings to fixtures and from kitchen equipment to restaurant seating and decor consultation, our aim is to create a distinct branding for your restaurant. Selecting furnishing that adds to your customer comfort is just as important as creating a symbiotic environment that whispers to the customer the total experience of being at your restaurant. The right physical environment have a direct effect on customer purchasing behavior and the magnitude of satisfaction.
