Restaurant consulting services.
Choose a starting point for your restaurant’s next decision.
Michael Park works with independent restaurant operators to examine their operating data and processes. The Pass is based in Southern California and welcomes inquiries from beyond it. You and Michael agree on the questions, scope, and fees before an engagement begins.
Operational diagnostics
You may see several pressures at once: uneven sales, staffing strain, or costs that leave less room than expected. An operational diagnostic helps you examine the connections before you choose where to spend time and money.
Labor & staffing
You need enough people to deliver service while keeping staffing decisions within your restaurant's budget. Reviewing the schedule alongside demand gives you a basis for discussing the trade-offs with your managers.
Food & operating costs
You may know that costs have risen without knowing how much comes from purchasing, volume, or day-to-day operations. A cost review helps you separate those questions and decide where further work would help.
Sales & guest demand
You make decisions about hours, staffing, and the guest experience with an incomplete view of demand. Reviewing sales patterns can help you choose a narrower question to investigate before changing the operation.
Bring the decision, then agree on the work
You do not need a finished problem statement to start a conversation. Tell Michael about your restaurant and the decision you are weighing. You can agree on an engagement after discussing fit, the records you have, and the work that would help.
Keep confidential financial records, employee details, and guest information out of the inquiry form. Discuss appropriate data handling before sharing records.
