01

The problem

Six locations grew organically, each cutting its own deals. Nobody put invoices side by side, so the group was billed like six independents with no volume leverage. The CEO and COO were open to a review: "Most operators don't know a service like this exists."

02

What we looked at

  • Natural gas
  • Frying oil
  • Waste
  • Telecom
  • Payroll taxes

03

What changed

  • We consolidated onto the strongest provider per category, then renegotiated at combined volume.
  • No menu changes, no staff disruption, no equipment swaps.

05

Why it worked

  1. 01

    Consolidation beat negotiation

    The biggest lever was buying the same service at volume instead of six retail rates.

  2. 02

    Zero operational change

    None of the switches touched guest experience, the kitchen, or back-of-house.

  3. 03

    Risk-free economics

    No fee unless savings showed up on the invoice. The CEO: "it's not like buying a house or a piece of equipment. You don't need a lot of reassurance."

See if the same review is worth it

No savings, no fee. You approve every change before it happens.
