A first review to understand why so much work is not turning into profit, and where to start.
A restaurant profitability assessment is a structured review of sales, costs, menu and organisation to find out how much the business really earns and where margin is being lost. At Hostelella it is free and carried out by a team with hospitality experience. It is for owners who work hard, sell well and do not see the result.
It is not an accounting audit or a hundred-page report. It is a conversation with your numbers on the table: what you sell, what it costs to produce, how many hours you need to serve it and which fixed costs you have to cover every month. That usually shows quite quickly what deserves attention first.
Whatever comes out of the assessment is yours, whether you hire us or not. If we see that we can help, we send you a tailored proposal with scope and price, with no lock-in. And if all you need is to get your paperwork and numbers in order, we will tell you that too.
Five blocks, from sales to the bottom line.
You do not need all of it: we start with whatever you have.
Simple and with no obligation.
Specific answers, even if we do not go on to work together.
Nothing. The assessment is free and does not commit you to hiring us. We only charge if you later decide to work with us, on a proposal with scope and price that you will have seen beforehand.
Subtract product cost, labour cost and fixed and financial costs for the period from your net sales. If what is left is positive and enough to pay yourself and reinvest, it is profitable. The usual problem is not having those figures up to date and finding out months later.
It is the level of sales above which you stop losing money. It is calculated by dividing fixed costs for the period by the share of each unit of sales that is left after paying variable costs, mainly product. That share is called the contribution margin ratio.
Sales, purchases, labour cost and the menu with prices. If you have inventory counts, recipe costs or a profit and loss statement, even better. If something is missing, that is fine: knowing which data you do not have is already part of the assessment.
No. We do not review your accounts or issue an official report. It is a first review of the business to detect where margin is lost and decide whether it makes sense to work together.
The form does not ask for confidential information. If we go ahead, we agree with you which documents and access are needed and ask only for what is necessary.
Tell us about your situation and we will tell you where we would start. Free and with no obligation.
