Accross Restaurant Consulting is tailored for restaurant owners and operators who are aiming high. Our ideal clients are multi-unit independent restaurants – in other words, restaurant groups or owners that have more than one location (typically 2 to 20 locations) and annual revenue roughly between $8 million to $40 million. If you’re running a growing restaurant empire that isn’t part of a big corporate chain, then we’re the partner for you
We understand the unique challenges you face: you’re not a small mom-and-pop single diner, but you’re also not a giant franchise with unlimited resources. You’re in that middle space where smart strategies and systems can make a huge difference to your success
Perhaps you started with one restaurant, it did great, and you opened a second or third. Now you have a small chain of restaurants that’s gaining popularity. You want to keep growing, but managing the finances and operations of multiple locations is getting complicated. We help businesses like yours put in unified systems for accounting, inventory, and HR across all locations. This means each new restaurant you open can ramp up faster and run smoothly, because you’re following a proven playbook. You can expand to new locations confidently, knowing that profitability and consistency won’t be compromised by growth
You might be a second-generation restaurant owner or a family-owned group with a few restaurants that have been around for a while. Business might be steady, but you feel there are areas that could be improved – maybe the profits aren’t as high as they should be, or newer competitors are popping up. We come in and perform a full assessment of your concept, systems, people, and procedures. Often, we find opportunities to modernize (like updating old accounting methods to new software, or renegotiating supplier contracts). We help increase efficiency and increase your profitability so your family business can continue to thrive and stay competitive for the next generation.
Do you have a vision to expand nationally or even internationally? Or maybe you’re thinking about selling your restaurant group or attracting investors to take it to the next level. We help restaurateurs in this phase by making sure everything is investor-ready. That means your financial records are impeccable, your profit margins are attractive (usually 15% or more after our improvements), and your operations can run without you needing to be there 24/7. We’ve seen how polished financials and efficient operations can dramatically increase a restaurant company’s valuation and appeal to buyers/investors. Whether you want to scale up or eventually exit, we set you up to achieve the best outcome.
Opening a restaurant in the United States as a foreign owner or expanding your concept from abroad? We have special expertise in helping international restaurant groups navigate U.S. market entry. The U.S. has its own set of rules – from health codes to labor laws to tax systems – and it can be overwhelming. We act as your local guide and partner. With our network of attorneys, real estate brokers, and other specialists, we assist with everything needed to establish your restaurant here (incorporating your business, finding the right location, handling permits, setting up accounting and HR, etc.). This way, you can launch in the U.S. smoothly and successfully, avoiding common pitfalls that new entrants face.
If any of these scenarios sound like you, then Accross Restaurant Consulting is ready to help. We know every restaurant group has its own story, and we take the time to understand yours. Whether you’re struggling to improve your numbers, trying to bring order to your operations, or planning big growth moves, we have the experience and tools to make it easier. Your challenges are not unique – they’re solvable, with the right expertise. Let’s tackle them together and write your next success story.
