ABOUT OUR SERVICES

National Food Service Advisors is a network of food service consultants. We help business owners open and run their restaurant operations profitably. Capable of large agency services, we're agile and responsive. You won't get the run-around, and can expect prompt replies to your calls and e-mails.

Our market niche is unique. Much of our work consists of providing assistance to those that may have never owned a restaurant before. Because we're really good at setting up systems, we also know a lot about fixing operational problems, so the other part of our business is troubleshooting existing operations.

There's a lot more to opening and running a restaurant than many people realize. We can work with you to develop your concept, discuss the merits of a feasibility study, craft your plan, find the location, design your menu, and walk you through your startup in the least amount of time.

Engaging our services is a cost effective and wise decision for those that need direction. We'll help you avoid unnecessary steps in opening, aid you in the transaction process, and we'll negotiate with your vendors, talk with your landlord, create a profit generating menu, and you will quickly find that our services will be your best startup investment.

Buying or Selling an existing restaurant?

  • Buyers
    We can help you find that special location, negotiate with the seller, deal with the landlord, conduct due diligence, coordinate the license transfers, and save you time and money in the process. This is a great service for those that want to ensure that the deal is in their favor!

  • Sellers
    Want to get the maximum value for your business? Most buyers know that a business is valued based upon the quality of profits, quality of lease (or property) and value of the assets on site. We'll help you package the restaurant and walk you through the selling process. No, we're not brokers or licensed to handle real estate transactions (No commissions!). We coordinate the process for you and help you realize the maximum selling price.

How we schedule your work

We schedule on a first come, first serve basis, with dates confirmed upon receipt of your retainer to be credited towards the total bill.

Menu Engineering and Design

From a simple reworking of an existing menu, or complete engineering of a brand new one, our menus will ensure that you'll enjoy new profits. We can negotiate with your vendors for lower costs, create signature items, calculate plate costs, identify the most profitable items, place them properly on the menu, and handle this process from start to finish. If it's been more than 8 months since you've reworked your menu, give us a call. Need a business plan or feasibility study?

Are you in the very early stages of your project and wondering what to do next? Perhaps it's time for a talk. A feasibility study will help you avoid risk, identify opportunities, and fully understand your chosen market. A business plan is a unique piece of work, and you may wish to call us to discuss it in detail. If your new business is dependant upon a high quality plan, and most of them are, we're the right firm for you.

Partnerships

Endorsements

The work that we do is done in the best interests of our clients. We do not endorse any company or products. We make recommendations to our clients about new or innovative ways that they can improve their business operations. Our clients trust us to provide them with first rate service and guidance.

Raise Capital Via a REG D 504 Private Placement Memorandum (PPM)

Have You Considered Franchising Your Concept?

In Ken's 30+ years as a franchise consultant & developer, radio talk show host, and as a nationally recognized authority on franchising, he has developed and consulted with over 750 franchises and looks forward to answering your questions about developing a winning franchise solution! In short, franchising is a sophisticated and regulated method of marketing a product or service. A franchise in a word is an "agreement." It is the contractual relationship that binds the parties together. Some of the items that require careful consideration are: The initial franchise fee, the trademarks and use of them, the continuing fees (royalties), the terms and conditions of the agreement, the territory, the training provided, and the support offered by the franchisor are among a few of the things that must be considered in establishing a franchise system.
