Warning signs include: negative cash flow for 3+ months, prime cost above 65%, declining sales with rising costs, difficulty making payroll or vendor payments, owner taking no salary, and avoiding financial statements. Any two of these signals trouble.
If you checked two or more boxes, your restaurant needs intervention. The longer you wait, the fewer options you have. Cash burns faster than you think.
Honest Assessment
Yes—if you act fast. Most struggling restaurants can be turned around within 90 days if the core concept is viable and the owner is willing to make hard changes. The key is early intervention before cash reserves run out.
We won't take your money if we don't believe we can help. The first conversation is free—and honest.
Our Process
Rapid assessment of cash position, cost structure, and immediate threats. We identify what's killing you fastest.
Days 1-3Stop the bleeding. Immediate cost cuts, vendor negotiations, and cash preservation tactics to buy time for the full turnaround.
Week 1-2Fix the systems that created the problem: labor scheduling, food cost controls, menu engineering, vendor management.
Week 2-6With costs stabilized, focus shifts to driving sales through menu optimization, marketing, and service improvements.
Week 6-12Install the tracking systems and management practices that prevent backsliding. You should be profitable by now.

Turnaround consulting typically costs $5,000-$15,000 for a 30-90 day intensive engagement, or $2,000-$5,000/month for ongoing restructuring support. The investment must be weighed against the cost of closing entirely.
The real cost isn't the consulting fee—it's the money you're losing every week you don't fix the problem.
If your restaurant is losing $8,000/month and a $10,000 turnaround engagement gets you to breakeven in 60 days, you've saved $6,000 in the first 90 days alone—plus you still have a business.
The alternative: Close the doors, lose your investment, personal guarantees come due, and start over from zero.
We work with struggling restaurants to structure payments that match their cash flow reality. The goal is to save the business, not drain it.

Initial cash flow stabilization: 2-4 weeks. Operational improvements showing results: 30-60 days. Full turnaround with sustainable profitability: 90-180 days. Speed depends on severity of problems and owner commitment.
