KITCHEN & BAR DESIGN

A poorly designed bar & kitchen can cause serious issues for any hospitality operation. Revenue can be lost from poor efficiencies, health and safety issues can arise and most importantly of all the guest experience can be seriously tarnished by not being able to deliver food and drinks on time and in perfect conditions. 

OUR APPROACH

• Understand the menus and the budget

• Deliver draft plans of the proposed bar and kitchen

• Ensure the flow of the bar and kitchen is optimised for the safe production of food and drinks as well as guaranteeing the team have a safe environment in which to work

• Recommend the right equipment to deliver the menus and the volume of business

• Manage the tender process

• Oversee fit out

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

Creating a concept for an operation and bringing it to life is only a small part of opening a new business in the hospitality sector. The hardest and most daunting part to many, is the ongoing management of operations when the business has a full complement of staff and revenue has to be made to cover costs. As our client you can tap into the immense knowledge base we have to solve problems and drive the business. HRC have a number of ways to assist in operational management:

Ad hoc assistance - very much like a personal trainer we can offer advice and assistance on an as and when basis.

Project elements completed - certain areas of the operation may need special focus. Our team would work on developing and assisting certain parts of the business.

Full management function - HRC will manage the operation on a day-to-day basis looking after all elements of the business.

SALES & MARKETING

No hospitality operation should be without a cohesive sales and marketing plan that details every element of how the business and its services are to be promoted. Our experienced and professional team have a proven track record in promoting a wide cross-section of operations.

THE PROCESS

• Ensure the operation delivers the expected level of service and hospitality before the marketing plan is put in place

• Understand the goals and targets for the business

• Sales & marketing strategy will be devised across all media

• The sales & marketing plan is put into action

• The sales & marketing plan is reviewed

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PLANNING

It is rare for a business to open without first having a well thought out business plan and a set of meaningful financial projections.

The Business Plan

All business plans are created on a bespoke basis for the business in question. Business plans will include an executive summary, introduction to the company, demographics, location analysis, industry overview and trends, competition analysis, customer profiling, business growth strategy, introduction to the team members, openings strategy, introduction to the financials, and swot analysis for the business.

Financial Projections

Our bespoke financial projections can accommodate Single or multi site operations with staged rollouts. The projections cover capital expenditure, working capital and opening expenses, monthly and yearly trading expenses, predicted cover analysis, along with estimations of average spends, food and beverage splits, salaries and mock rotas are created all culminating to deliver a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow forecast for five years of trading.

The financial projections can be fully modified to act a very comprehensive business tool.
