STARTUP & REPOSITIONING


Business Plans

Nothing is more important to help you get your idea off the ground than a solid Business Plan. In order to secure the funds needed in the shortest possible time your Business Plan must be well thought, organized, accurate and thorough. Our financial modeling and profit structure sections will demonstrate to any investor that your concept is on solid ground from the beginning.

Pitch Books

Once your investors are aligned, the best way to secure the best possible location for the most favorable terms is through your Pitch Book presentation. Competition for "A" locations is fierce and landlords are concerned about one thing: "Are you a solvent, long term tenant who will pay their rent on time". An organized, professional presentation will give you the edge you need.

Training Programs & Manuals

We start by getting to know your business. What are your food and service goals? What is unique? What do you want your brand to say? What variables are at play? Then we tailor a training program with manuals that will achieve results. No manual can train your staff. Only you and your managers can, so we focus on programs and manuals that can be easily taught, validated, and maintained.

Culture

Determining how to care for your sales generators (ahem...those are your employees) to make them selling machines, teaching managers how to behave as a unified force, valuing principle-centered leadership, and "hiring smart" versus "managing tough"...let us help you with your work environment. At Blue Orb Restaurant Advisory we understand that you cannot do it all and we can show you how to create an environment of trust, execution, and reward to yield long-term results.

War Boards

We can keep you on track through developing a project calendar - or "War Board" - to tell you what you should be doing and when you should be doing it. We've opened too many restaurants to "wing it". We calendar everything from liquor license application to purchasing office supplies to training and mock runs.

Maintenance

A quality staff that can "execute" systems is different from the caliber of employee that is needed to "develop" those systems, the latter being much more expensive to keep around. Retaining BORA for ongoing support and accountability is truly cost effective because we're not on your payroll yet you get the benefit of 120 years of experience. Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and/or Yearly "tune ups" can keep you running smoothly. Whether Quarterly menu rollouts, weekly figures meetings, periodic systems/execution inspections, or scheduled brand evolution, BORA can help keep you running smoothly.

  • What is your favorite Chef’s Knife?
    by Ray Camillo on 7/23/2010
    Asking a chef to choose one knife is like asking a golfer to pick one club to use for driving, chipping and putting…or asking a carpenter to choose one tool that is best for cutting, measuring and drilling.
  • Lunch isn’t just for Lunch anymore…
    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

    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.
