Restaurant Operations — common questions

What does a restaurant consultant do?
A restaurant consultant diagnoses why a concept is underperforming and rebuilds the systems behind it — food and labor cost, menu pricing and engineering, prep and station design, vendor terms, staff training, and opening logistics for new concepts.
How much does restaurant consulting cost?
Engagements are scoped after a free diagnostic call. Most projects are quoted as a fixed-fee phase — a cost and labor audit, a turnaround engagement, or a full pre-opening build — rather than an open-ended hourly retainer.
Which cities in DFW do you serve?
K & Co. consults on the ground in Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton and 50+ surrounding suburbs including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, Irving, Southlake and Grapevine. Pick your city below for local details.
Do you work with restaurants that have not opened yet?
Yes. Pre-opening work covers concept positioning, the master recipe manual and costing, kitchen layout, vendor and licensing roadmap, and staff training through opening night.
