We want to hear from you
Dallas is a complex restaurant market. On a weeknight, Uptown and Deep Ellum can be buzzing with locals grabbing dinner after work or catching a show, while downtown venues near the American Airlines Center fill for game nights or concerts. Weekend brunch crowds pour into Bishop Arts and Lower Greenville, and the Design District draws foodies all week long. Success here isn’t about luck — it’s about building systems that deliver consistent results every night, no matter the neighborhood or event.
We offer restaurant management consulting for Dallas operators who are ready to stop running on instinct and start managing their business with reliable operational and financial systems.

The Event-Driven Demand Challenge
Dallas restaurants operate on unpredictable peaks. Concerts, Mavericks games, and American Airlines Center events can fill your dining room in an instant, while weekdays or slower months may see quieter traffic. Without systems that track demand and adjust staffing, purchasing, and prep in real time, operators are often either overstaffed or caught short.
The State Tax and Cost Structure Factor
Texas doesn’t have a state income tax, but local sales and mixed beverage taxes, rising property insurance, and variable labor costs can quickly squeeze margins if not actively monitored. Restaurants here need systems that model these costs into pricing, schedules, and vendor contracts.
The Multi-Neighborhood Operations Problem
Uptown, Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, and the Design District all have different traffic patterns and guest expectations. Running multiple locations with a single staffing or purchasing approach creates gaps and inefficiencies. We build neighborhood-specific systems while still consolidating reporting at the group level.
Step 1: Discovery
We dig into your P&L, POS data, labor schedules, vendor contracts, and operational workflows. For Dallas specifically, we evaluate event-driven surges, weekday slowdowns, and neighborhood-specific patterns. We identify where food cost, labor, and operational inefficiencies are bleeding margin.
Step 2: Implementation
We redesign staffing schedules, adjust vendor agreements, standardize recipes and portioning, and install a weekly reporting rhythm for real-time P&L visibility. Accountability structures — manager scorecards, weekly targets, and operational SOPs — ensure your team runs consistently without constant oversight.
Step 3: Ongoing Support
Some Dallas operators keep us on retainer as a fractional CFO for expansion planning, lease negotiations, or seasonal recalibration. Others bring us back quarterly to adjust for event traffic changes, holidays, or market trends.
CEO
Independent restaurant groups with 2–20 locations across Dallas neighborhoods. Single-location operators planning expansion. Multi-location groups who need consolidated reporting that accounts for varied traffic patterns, event-driven peaks, and local cost pressures.
Accross Consulting was founded by Naki Soyturk, who has Big 4 public accounting experience and served as CFO and Interim CEO of a 10-location, ~$70M restaurant group — scaling to 600+ employees and building cost management systems across every unit.
We’re a national practice, working remotely with operators from coast to coast. For Dallas, we combine local knowledge — neighborhood patterns, event-driven surges, and Texas-specific costs — with proven systems that scale.
Yes. Weekend traffic, even during Cowboys games or other major events, can mask inefficiencies in labor, purchasing, or portion control. We help you see where revenue is leaking and build systems to keep margins healthy every day of the week.
We treat event-driven traffic as its own operational challenge. Staffing, inventory, and prep schedules are modeled around each type of surge so your team isn’t scrambling, and you capture revenue efficiently without overstaffing or over-purchasing.
Not entirely. Local sales taxes, mixed beverage taxes, and rising insurance or property costs still impact margins. Our systems track all Dallas-specific cost factors so pricing, schedules, and vendor agreements reflect the true cost of running a restaurant.
Absolutely. Uptown, Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, the Design District, and areas around AT&T Stadium all have different customer profiles and demand patterns. We design neighborhood-specific workflows while giving consolidated reporting for the group as a whole.
Yes. We create staffing models based on actual demand, including peak game days, special events, and seasonal trends. This reduces unnecessary overtime, keeps labor costs in check, and helps you retain experienced servers and kitchen staff.
We focus on operators with 2–20 locations, but single-location restaurants planning their second unit are a perfect fit. We help you build infrastructure before growth stresses your systems.
Most run 3–6 months with clear deliverables. Some clients continue with fractional CFO support for ongoing recalibration, seasonal planning, or preparing for expansion.
