Hospitality
Financial clarity for restaurants, hotels and hospitality groups
We help operators and investors price with confidence, control costs across locations and fund the next opening or acquisition.
Talk to us about pricing, a new location or financing.
Who we work with
From single site to multi-location group
Hospitality profits are won or lost in labour, food and occupancy costs, one location at a time. The questions change as a group grows, so we start with where you are.
Independent operators
Menu and room pricing, cost control, cash planning, and the case for a second location.
Multi-location groups and brands
Location-level profitability, capital planning for new sites and renovations, and reporting across the portfolio.
Investors and acquirers
An independent view of a group’s economics, valuation, and diligence ahead of an investment or acquisition.
Decisions we support
The decisions hospitality operators bring to us
Each one links to the practice that handles it, so you can go from the question in front of you to how we answer it.
Pricing that protects margin
Menu, room and event pricing built on real costs and demand, including when to flex prices.
Opening the next location
Site economics, build-out budgets and payback, and the plan behind an opening.
Visibility across every location
Location-level reporting on sales, labour and cost of goods, so problems surface early.
Financing growth
Debt and equity options for new sites, renovations and acquisitions, and the materials lenders and investors expect.
Turning around an underperforming site
Diagnosing what is driving losses and building a plan to fix, reposition or exit.
Buying or selling a restaurant or hotel
Valuation, diligence and negotiation support through to close.
Our perspective
A group is only as profitable as its weakest location, so every site needs its own numbers.
We report sales, labour and cost of goods by location and price on real costs and demand, so problems surface early and the next opening is judged on its site economics.

Questions
Questions hospitality operators ask us
Do you work with single-location operators?
Yes. We work with independent operators as well as multi-location groups, from pricing and cost control to the case for a second site.
Can you help us secure financing for a new location?
Yes. We build the projections, payback analysis and lender materials behind financing for new sites, renovations and acquisitions.
Do you only work with companies in British Columbia?
No. We are based in Vancouver and work with companies across Canada and internationally.
What does an engagement cost?
It depends on the scope. After a first conversation we send a written proposal with deliverables, timing and fees, so you know the cost before any work begins.
