Restaurant consultancy with a difference
At The Engine Room, we specialise in providing tailored commercial management and financial strategy services to restaurant owners, investors and directors. Let us remove your planning headaches and decision fatigue so that you can focus on keeping your guests happy through concept and execution.
Looking for a restaurant consultant to help upgrade your business and transform your finances? From ambitious startups to established Michelin Star institutions, we apply proven solutions to fit to your restaurant’s unique needs.
Through precise business planning, financial modelling, meaningful data presentation through dashboards and insightful commercial advice, our goal is to integrate with your team and guide you towards a more streamlined business model, enabling your hospitality business to increase its profitability and take the next step towards success.
Making Financial Data Helpful
We understand that the hectic schedule of running a restaurant leaves little time to delve into the data that makes it all possible. And even when you do get a rare moment of quiet, without proper guidance from someone in the know, trying to deduce exactly what you want from your spreadsheets, invoices and cash flows can be a time consuming and stressful process.
Our experts are here to help alleviate those obstacles and drive your restaurant’s profitability. Our focus as restaurant consultants specialising in commercial management is to help organise your financial data to make sense of it all. That way, you know exactly what your position is and where to go next using in depth financial modelling and meaningful action plans.
Maximising Your Restaurant’s Profit
The modern restauranteur faces a myriad of financial challenges. From rising operational costs to ever-changing regulations to countless accounting obstacles, it can make you feel as though you are spinning plates as much as you are serving them.
Our team of restaurant consultants offer a new perspective on how, through well measured alterations in approach, your business can become more profitable. Unlike typical restaurant consultants, we consider every aspect of the financial structure of your business and its relationship with operations, from purchasing data to payroll, identifying opportunities to streamline your restaurant’s approach to finance and ultimately grow your margins. In turn, allowing you to focus on what really matters – providing customers with an unforgettable experience.

Contact UsLong Term Hospitality Planning
We know that existing in the moment is a crucial factor in running a restaurant smoothly. But what about longer term considerations?
Our approach considers not only the current state of your restaurant, but also what the future may hold. Taking all potential factors into consideration, our team maps out a restaurant business plan that considers commercial factors, financial influences, operational realities and, most importantly, the longevity of your project.
We provide the insight into what is happening now to enable you to have one eye on the future and focus on developing your business.
Operational Solutions For Your Restaurant
While you may have innovative visions of what your restaurant will bring to the hospitality industry, often understanding how to piece your vision together requires the navigation of multiple perspectives. It is critical to gain viewpoints from ‘outside in’ to gain a balanced plan – a position not always within reach when heavily involved in the process or influenced by particular strengths.
On top of our financial expertise, our extensive restaurant operations consultancy experience offers a fresh view on how your establishment operates and provides solutions based on the specific issues that you are facing. Consisting of both financial and operational specialists, our team have tackled the spreadsheets and commanded the floor, creating a discerning and empathetic approach to both specialisms and closing the gap between their often conflicting perspectives.
But why trust our opinion? Here’s what some of our clients had to say:
“I was quite sceptical to begin with, I hate consultants, we’ve both been consultants and it’s worthless but this was different and not consultancy. Maria (The Engine Room – Commercial Operations Partner) became part of the team without being part of the team and that was exactly what we needed”
Dave Strauss, Co-owner, Bouchon Racine
“I just wanted to say that The Engine Room have been excellent advisors to help me expand my company. They are on the top of their game when it comes to numbers and projections. They also know how to listen and ask the awkward questions that make your business even more appealing to your market.”
Julien Plumart, Owner, Julien Plumart
