You want to turn the restaurant of your dreams into a real operation. But there’s more to a finely-honed concept than stellar food, personality and style. A restaurant’s brand identity is about expertly-crafted touch points; from the prices, cuisine and menu to the décor, size and location. Your concept sets the stage for the dining experience – and sets expectations before guests even walk through the doors. Even more challenging, is the often encountered need to “renovate” established, successful brands that have grown tired and complacent, that need to find their “wow” factor once again. To be successful, a brand must be an appropriate fit for your market. Through demographic research and market analysis, our team can help determine concept viability – or make adjustments to already-existing elements.

Brillion not only brings its clients a high level of strategic capability, but the creativity and branding expertise to bring your vision to life. We know how to craft concepts that deliver powerful, memorable dining experiences – from the visual elements to the subtle touch points. Our team will work with you through every step of the restaurant concept development process to create a one-of-a-kind brand identity. We’ll integrate your ideas with proven strategies of innovative restaurant concepts and current consumer preferences and trends for a buzz worthy, sustainable and profitable result.

Brillion Restaurant Group’s team of seasoned restaurant professionals and industry veterans will objectively examine all aspects of your restaurant's operations, identify critical opportunities and implement a strategic, actionable plan to improve profits.

Restaurant Profit Improvement - Areas in Focus

Controlling Costs

We understand the unique challenges a restaurant operator faces; devoting the proper attention to cost control is difficult when you have a complex business to run. Yet the restaurant industry is notoriously unforgiving when it comes to financial missteps; seemingly insignificant errors can send operating expenses soaring. Brillion professionals dig in to all financial aspects of your operation, using a systematic, line-by-line approach to identify key cost-control opportunities, from product purchasing and handling to contract analysis and employee scheduling.

Pricing Policy

Are your prices competitive with other operators in your area? Are you renovating and costing your menu items regularly? Are your prices fair, your margins effective? Our team uses a disciplined approach to pricing, helping to proactively manage food costs and optimize your pricing strategy.

Marketing

Driving traffic is key to driving revenue – but in this ultra-competitive climate, getting diners in the door is more challenging than ever. Brillion marketing professionals will help your restaurant put its best face forward on all channels, from the design and content of your own website to customer engagement on peer-review sites. We will work with you to create marketing campaigns tailored to your target clientele using the most effective mix of traditional advertising (television, radio, print), word-of-mouth buzz generation, social media and online reputation management.

Keeping Track

You don’t have the luxury of a full-time IT team to create and manage point-of-sale systems and custom accounting technologies – and that’s where we come in. We’ll work with you to implement technology that tracks key daily and weekly operating data, inventory and fixed expenses. Our team will help you establish and manage a structured system to collect this data, report it to key decision-makers and help you analyze it to identify potential problems before they multiply.

Understanding the Art of Restaurant Management

Restaurant profit improvement is not black and white; we understand the challenges and intricacies of running a restaurant: the late nights, staff turnover, the need for flawless execution. You’ll benefit from the experience of our seasoned team members: successful restaurant operators, vendors and hospitality executives who understand the unique nature of the restaurant business. We’ve been there, and we’re intimately familiar with the ever-evolving, “always-on” environment that requires constant innovation and fast, decisive action.

It goes without saying that the food is the heart and soul of every restaurant concept. If customers don't feel attracted to a unique menu and enticed to explore it, they are less likely to feel compelled to return for repeat visits.

The goal of effective menu engineering is to maximize profitability by leading customers to purchase the menu items you want them to purchase in preference to less profitable menu items which are offered for sale.

Brillion’s teams of professionals have extensive experience in menu engineering and design. Our process encompasses all of the following aspects of menu engineering:

Industry and competitive trends
Menu psychology (sweet spots, focal points, “star-dog” analysis)
Analysis of contribution margin and unit cost
Pricing analysis
Layout and Design

Properly done, a successful menu design can present your menu items in the best possible light to your customers. Our menu engineering and design team will approach this initiative with sensitivity to the concept’s restaurant's brand and ethos. We'll strive to build consistency and excitement for your brand -- whether it's elegance, casual or family fun. If you have a current menu, we'll review it, analyze its layout and recommend a strategy for how it could be optimized. Some of the changes we suggest may include recommendations about menu categories, determining which items will stay or go in the new menu and how item descriptions might be adjusted for more widespread appeal. We'll evaluate the current pricing structure and develop ideas for the most profitable and appealing menu design for the specific type of establishment.

Merging with or acquiring another company (or being acquired by one) has obvious benefits, especially for small chains that have struggled in the past with issues of scale. Today companies will often look into acquisition opportunities that can increase overall profitability by leveraging costs and synergies across a much larger organization and associate with larger, more easily recognized operators within the industry.

If your organization is considering a potential merger or acquisition or you have received an offer to sell, Brillion professionals have the experience to analyze every aspect of this potential transaction, advising you and your team on each implication associated with a potential deal. Brillion will work with you and your team to:

Identify opportunities for acquisitions and mergers within the casual, quick-casual and QSR segments of the industry;
Provide due diligence services and financial modeling to predict performance as a consolidated entity.
Identify potential concerns during the M&A process, such as expiring lease agreements or performance projection anomalies.
Enhance restaurant performance through management consulting, branding and culinary menu development.

RESTAURANT M&A BENEFITS:

*Increased buying power – Restaurant mergers and/or acquisitions can provide businesses with the funding and resources to allow access to efficiencies and to allow organizations to scale operations at a lower cost. M&A transactions often enable connections with other companies which might otherwise be unavailable

*Favorable brand association - One of the hidden benefits of some restaurant mergers and acquisitions is the resultant association with other popular brands. If a smaller chain of restaurants merges with a larger chain, the association with other restaurants within the group can offer promotional and advertising opportunities. Synergistic advertising reduces costs and can encourage customers from one concept to visit other concepts with common ownership. This often results in the newly acquired concept penetrating deeper within their markets at a lower cost than might otherwise be possible as a stand-alone business.

*Corporate support – A Merger and acquisition transaction can often provide enhanced levels of corporate support at a variety of levels. Smaller organizations will have access to a wider variety of resources than would otherwise be the case. The acquired company may be able to leverage enhanced levels of talent, resources and system s and will be able to operate at higher levels of efficiency than would be the case as a smaller operator
