Case 4.  Turn-Key Unit Operating System

 

 Client

  • Casual Dining Hamburger Concept

  • Single Unit Start-Up

  • Urban “Festival” Mall Location

 

 Issues

  • A trophy location with lots of space – over 14,000 square feet

  • Unit operation would be 3 times larger than any the company operated

  • Company management had developed an interesting concept, but no formal operating standards, procedures or systems

 

 Approach

  • Established proprietary operating standards and procedures

  • Designed and implemented a standardized Turn-Key Unit Operating System covering front-of-the-house and back-of-the-house systems, manuals, employee recruitment, training, and launch

  • Reorganized management into FOH and BOH teams

  • Customized FOH and BOH management tools – manuals, posters, forms, spreadsheets, meeting schedules, memos, etc.

  • Developed standardized training system including manuals and train-the-trainer modules

  • Coached company management through the launch period

 

 Results

  • Trophy location launch a success

  • Company sales and profits increased by 2x

  • Company standards for friendliness, speed of service, food quality, cleanliness, etc were met

  • Unit operating systems rolled into smaller, existing units to improve guest experience and company profitability
