Who I help
For owners of cafés, restaurants, pubs and bars who want a clearer understanding of performance, without taking on a full-time commercial analyst.
Free 20-minute conversation · No records needed to get in touch
The service suits established independent venues with some trading records. You may have an accountant, but need time and help to connect the figures with everyday decisions.
The questions differ by business. Your customers, opening hours, food and drink offer, team and service model shape what a useful analysis looks like.
Cafés & coffee shops
Look at product margins, food and drink sales together, waste, takeaway costs and staffing through the day. Understand the different contribution of breakfast, lunch and afternoon trade.

Restaurants
Bring menu sales, ingredient costs, covers, spend per head and staff hours together. Compare services or examine a menu change, discount or delivery offer.
What a review includes
Pubs & bars
Examine food and drink sales, product costs, waste and staff hours across the week. Work through quieter sessions, event trading or a change to opening hours.
What a review includesI work with individual venues and small independent groups with two to five sites. Where the business combines formats, we can decide which records and comparisons are useful.
A one-off review is the usual starting point. Regular support is available separately if it would help.
My initial focus is Cheshire and Greater Manchester. Much of the work is done remotely; we agree meetings and any visits before starting. If you’re further afield, we can discuss the practical arrangements.
This is commercial analysis and decision support. I’m not an accountant, and I don’t guarantee business results. Read about my background.
