Hospitality consulting that stays to do the work

A team with hospitality experience sorts out purchasing, costs and staffing with you. You decide; we make it happen.

Hostelella hospitality consulting is an operations management service for bars, restaurants, hotels and multi-site groups. A team with hands-on hospitality experience reviews purchasing, suppliers, costs and staffing with you, sets margin targets and tracks them every month. It is for businesses that sell well, work hard and still do not see the profit.

We always start with a free assessment. From there you get a tailored proposal with its scope and price. There are no fixed packages and no lock-in: if it does not add value, you stop. And on every important decision, you have the final say.

The difference from traditional consulting is that we do not stop at recommendations. We negotiate with suppliers, organise ordering and schedules, and train your team on the new processes. The Hostelella app is our shared tool: you see invoices, purchases and expenses up to date, exactly as we do.

Who it is for

It fits when the problem is not selling more, but keeping more of what you sell.

  • Owners who run the kitchen, the floor or several sites and do the admin after closing.
  • Businesses with healthy sales that cannot tell how much margin is lost to purchasing, the menu or the schedule.
  • Groups that have opened a second or third site and need a common method before more hands.
  • Hotels with their own food and beverage operation where each department keeps separate numbers.

How we work

Always in this order, without skipping steps.

  • Free assessment: we listen to what worries you and look at the data you already have.
  • Margin plan: specific targets, each with a date and a named person in charge.
  • Rollout: purchasing, ordering and scheduling processes explained to your team.
  • Ongoing follow-up and a monthly review with you, with the figures on the table.

What we cover

Scope is agreed with you; these are the usual areas.

  • Purchasing and suppliers: prices, terms, ordering and checking what is delivered.
  • Costs: product cost, labour cost and fixed costs, looked at together.
  • Team: roles, schedules and processes that do not depend on you being there.
  • Menu and pricing: which dishes earn margin and which only create work.

What you get

Things you can use, not slide decks.

  • A margin plan with specific targets and dates.
  • Up-to-date figures in the Hostelella app, visible to you from your phone.
  • A monthly meeting to review results and adjust the plan.
  • Written processes and training so your team can apply them.

Questions before starting

What does a hospitality consultant do?

A hospitality consultant analyses how a business buys, produces, sells and organises its team, and recommends changes to improve profitability. At Hostelella we also put those changes into practice with you: purchasing, suppliers, cost control and team organisation, with margin targets and a monthly review.

How much does hospitality consulting cost?

It depends on the size of the business and what needs doing; we do not sell fixed packages. After the free assessment you receive a proposal with scope and price. There is no lock-in.

Is Hostelella consulting or software?

Both. Hostelella is a management app for hospitality that you can use on your own. It is also a professional service, Ella Director, where our team runs the management side with you and uses the app as the shared tool. This page is about the service.

Does it work for a small bar or restaurant?

Yes, if margin, purchasing or team organisation is a real concern. Scope is adjusted to size: a neighbourhood bar does not need the same as a multi-site group. In the assessment we check whether it makes sense for you.

Will I lose control of my business?

No. You keep the final say on every decision. Our job is to bring you clear numbers and a proposal; deciding is up to you. You also see in the app the same information we see.

Do you work in my area?

The service depends on location, scope and team availability. Tell us where your business is and we will look at it with you.
