Starting A New Business

Even for seasoned veterans and hospitality owners, starting a new hospitality concept can be a daunting task.

Often business owners want to work with my team to increase their chances of success in such an unsure market. Working with virtually every kind of concept from coast to coast means that you get the experience without having to hire KJH full time onto your staff.

Turnarounds

The hospitality industry is a challenging business to be in, even for established concepts. When a running business is purchased or failing, coming to a consultant can force a lot of issues to the surface, where they may have otherwise gone unnoticed. Our ability to identify specific problems at the property and with the staff, then work with owners to correct them, is unparallelled. This can include looking over simple procedures, bookkeeping records, auditing the food and beverage programming or conducting surveys to get an understanding of how the business operates, including focus groups where customers feel improvements may be made.
