Consulting / Manager Assessment & Training

Managers who can run the floor and read a P&L.

Most restaurant managers were promoted for being great on the floor. Few were ever taught the business. We find the gaps and train them.

Manager skills assessment

A case-study assessment built on a realistic restaurant P&L, product mix, schedules and guest reviews. It maps every manager's skill in financial acumen, operational analysis, guest feedback, training and action planning. Not pass or fail; a baseline.

GM hiring case study

A surprise written case at the final interview. It's the fastest way we know to separate candidates who interview well from candidates who can actually fix food cost and labor.

Targeted training

Managers only attend the trainings their assessment says they need, scheduled at the start of a shift they already work.

Service systems

Written steps of service your GM authors and owns, plus an accountability rhythm: check the standard when you walk in, and again when you leave.

Common questions

Leadership FAQ

How do I hire a good restaurant general manager?

Test for the job, not the interview. Give finalists a real case with a P&L, a product mix and a schedule, and ask what they'd fix first and why. The answers tell you more than any reference.

Can you train our existing managers?

Yes. We start with the assessment so nobody sits through training they don't need, then build a program around the gaps.
