360° Consultancy
for Restaurants
We analyze the business, build the plan, and systematize the changes so you gain more margin, control, and time
Sistemics’ ICS² Method
Investigate
Construct
Systematize
A 360° consulting service for restaurants that connects strategy, numbers, people, and operations.
A restaurant’s results are shaped by purchasing, the menu, pricing, the guest, the team, processes, and management decisions. When you connect all these pieces, you discover what’s driving the business, what’s holding it back, and where there’s real room to grow.
The ICS² method turns this vision into a journey. First, we investigate what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how much it’s costing you. Then we construct the plan, the processes, and the team’s capabilities. Finally, we systematize it within day-to-day operations so it can be applied, measured, and improved.
The diagnosis finds where the results are being lost.
The system stops them from slipping away again.
The three phases form a single journey. Below, you’ll see what each one solves, what we build, and how we track the return.
Phase 1 · Investigate
360° Diagnosis
of Your Restaurant
Before deciding what needs to change, we need to know what’s really going on.
The first phase puts the restaurant under the microscope and connects everything that ultimately shapes the results.
We cross-reference financial data, purchasing, sales, and profitability with the menu, guest experience, food safety (HACCP), the team, and kitchen and dining room operations. We also look at the project’s identity, track record, and goals to understand where it can go next.
This 360° restaurant consulting approach makes it possible to identify what’s working, what’s draining margin, time, or control, and which opportunities could generate greater returns.
Naming the problem is a good start.
Putting numbers to it lets you decide.
This phase ends with a 360° diagnosis, a baseline of key indicators, and a roadmap that prioritizes actions by impact, urgency, and ease of implementation.
To build the restaurant’s future, you first need to discover what makes it strong and what’s holding it back.
WHY IS YOUR BUSINESS GOOD?
AND WHAT’S HOLDING IT BACK?
FIND OUT!
We put the whole restaurantunder the microscope
The 360° restaurant consulting service cross-references six connected areas. The numbers might say one thing; the dining room, the kitchen, or the guest, another. When we bring the data together, the causes, the priorities, and the exact starting point come into view.
Before changing anything, we need to know what we're building
We analyze the business model, the concept, the goals, the track record, and the real stage the project is at.
The cash register doesn't lie
We put revenue, purchasing, costs, structure, results, and break-even point under the microscope to find out where the margin is being lost.
Not everything that sells is worth selling
We cross-reference the sales mix, pricing, food cost, and profitability to decide what's worth pushing, what needs fixing, and what should come off the menu.
The guest sees what you can no longer see from the inside
We audit the reservation, welcome, service, sales, product, atmosphere, and farewell to compare the promise with the actual experience.
Service leaves clues
We observe the kitchen, the dining room, workflows, roles, workloads, and coordination to spot dependencies, friction points, and recurring mistakes.
What isn't controlled also costs money
We review practices, controls, records, facilities, and critical points to identify risks and define the actions needed.
Six analyses. One direction
We cross-reference the findings, rank priorities by impact and feasibility, and define what needs to be built, who should own it, in what order, and how we'll measure the return. This is where Phase 1 ends. And where construction and implementation begin, hand in hand.
Phase 2 · Construct
We Build the Plan
Your Restaurant Needs
There’s a better version of your businessHow far do you want to take it?
What you get when we build on data
The needs identified during the diagnosis become decisions, responsibilities, and measurable goals. The 360° restaurant consulting service builds what each project needs to move forward with more margin, control, and autonomy.
You know what to do, who will do it, and when
The diagnosis becomes a documented action plan. We define what needs to be addressed, in what order, who will take it on, when it should be carried out, and what result it should produce.
Every service follows shared standards
We build a shared way of working so that the kitchen, the dining room, and management keep the same standards during every service, no matter who's on shift.
Everyone knows their role and takes ownership
We set out responsibilities, communication, and leadership so each person knows their role, can make decisions within it, and is accountable for the agreed results.
The menu and the team work in favor of your margin
We connect the menu, pricing, guest experience, and sales pitch so the team sells with more intent and prioritizes the products that add value for the guest and profitability for the restaurant.
You catch deviations in time to act
We define what needs to be monitored, who should review it, and how often, to catch deviations in purchasing, costs, sales, staffing, or operations before they hit the bottom line.
You delegate with confidence and get time back to lead
Knowledge turns into shared standards, responsibilities, and a structure the team can sustain without every decision running through one person.
We build every action with a return behind it
Each priority is tied to a starting point, a goal, and a metric. That way we can track what's improving, what return it's generating, and what still needs adjusting.
Purchasing, costs, pricing, waste, and profitability
A sharper pitch, better sales mix, and more margin per service
Fewer repeat mistakes, fewer fires to put out, fewer decisions piling up
More consistency, control, and clearly defined responsibilities
More judgment, autonomy, and responsiveness from the team
Before rolling out any solution, we define what needs to change and how we'll measure it. The action plan becomes an investment with goals, tracking, and a clear standard for return.
Phase 3 · Systematize
We Implement the System
So It Works Every Day
THE POSSIBILITIES
ARE ENDLESS
The plan goes into service
An action plan gains value when the team puts it into practice, the data confirms its effect, and the restaurant can sustain the improvement on its own.
The priority makes it onto the calendar
We turn the restaurant's action plan into an executable sequence, with owners, deadlines, and checkpoints. Each change is scheduled based on its impact and the team's actual capacity.
The process holds up under service
We roll out the processes while the restaurant keeps running. We watch how the dining room, kitchen, and management respond, spot friction points, and adjust the system so it works in real service.
The team makes the change its own
Team training and coaching turn the plan into everyday decisions. Each person understands what to do, why they're doing it, and what result it should produce within the restaurant as a whole.
Managers uphold the standard
Management and team leads build in routines to lead, supervise, and correct course. Judgment stops resting on one person alone and becomes management capacity across the team.
Data drives decisions
Key indicators and management tools connect sales, costs, food cost, purchasing, stock, productivity, and margin. Ongoing tracking makes it possible to spot a deviation, understand its cause, and decide before it hits the bottom line.
The results hold
The system becomes part of day-to-day operations, documented and tied to a review routine. The team can measure, correct, and keep improving on its own once the consulting engagement ends.
Improvement becomes business capacity
The return shows up when the restaurant executes better, catches deviations earlier, and keeps the knowledge inside the organization.
