PROFIT STRUCTURE

The P&L
Your Profit and Loss Statement is your map to managing your business. Many operators employ "shoebox financials"... put the money in the box, pay bills out of the box, and keep whatever is left! We believe in building your business' profit structure and using it to guide your brand development. We work with your bookkeeper or accountant to develop proper restaurant accounting systems to turn your P&L into a management tool.

Budgeting

Once the course is set for profitability, we teach you how to gather, interpret, and act on data. If you don't track your expenses versus sales or guide your business via a budget, we set it up and teach you how to use it. If you can't see how you're doing, you can't see where you were, where you are, or where you are going. We dig into your business to develop a budget against which you can measure performance, set direction, secure additional funding, or motivate your team.

Analysis
Once your Profit Structure is defined, we work with you to eliminate non-value-added activities and expenses while properly identifying and avoiding sacred cows. We teach you how to use your data as a "means to an end" versus being the end itself. Health of the Business Indicators, Theoretical Cost Analysis, Service Ranking, Labor Proforma, Declining Balance Systems...how they work, why they're important, and how to build them into your routines to drive your business.

    by Ray Camillo on 6/11/2010
    What is lunch? Whether working in a garage, on Wall St. or in an operating room, we need fuel when we’re away from the nest. Around, oh say 11:30, we want something fast, easy to eat, cheap, and most of all, tasty. Since I can remember, the usual hand-to-maw fare has been burgers, pizza, [...]
  • Bananas
    by Ray Camillo on 2/13/2010
    Recently I was trying to figure out how to do a "banana creme brulee canoli"...it just sounds good...get some banana creme pie filling with fresh chunks of bananas and somehow candy the ends like a creme brulee without burning the canoli shell, then drizzle with honey.
  • Finding Napoleon
    by Ray Camillo on 10/28/2009
    If more servers could pull off the Napoleon Dynamite ‘tude and just stick to the facts, we’d all probably stop whining when we don’t get our butts kissed by a server or cashier.
