The challenge
The group was profitable on paper but cash was constantly tight, especially in Q1. Site managers had no weekly P&L, GP% varied wildly, and the founder was reacting instead of leading.
Our approach
- 01Implemented site-level weekly P&L reporting with a Monday morning league table.
- 02Rebuilt recipe costing across the menu, identifying margin leakage on five top sellers.
- 03Set up a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast tied to bookings and seasonality.
- 04Stepped in as fractional CFO, running monthly trading reviews with the leadership team.
