➤ There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.”

➤ Indian Food service industry – The harbor for Growth opportunities.

In our country, food has undoubtedly been an integral part of every occasion, place, and people’s lives. It is not a recent habit that people have acquired, of eating out. With increased access to internet and online services, it is a sure bet that restaurant business has always been here to stay and would never go out of fashion.

A rate of 2.1% of the national GDP (as reported by National Restaurant Association of India), by the year 2021 is an accelerated rise in the contribution from this industry.

Restaurant management consulting - Case Study
The Challenge
Even after a successful decade of business after the new millennium, a well-established restaurant brand was introspective and acknowledging when it came to addressing the areas that needed updated changes. They contacted Chools for assistance in developing a compelling new restaurant prototype design. The new iteration was to be fully optimised that would re-establish the brand’s position for their innovative provision of food and beverages. The updated restaurant design strategy was aimed at targeting the needs of evolving guests, ensuring they have an exceptional guest experience.
The Solution
Chools team systematically analyzed and developed a detailed plan for the change initiative. When sincerely implemented, the kitchen labor requirement was significantly reduced by thousands of hours. The optimised locations were to bring out the optimum efficiency. Chools also tested a piece of new equipment to enable further labour efficiencies and improve execution time. The reduced energy costs amounted to 25%. The implementation resulted in astounding success and pushed further the already thriving business.
The Challenge
A prominent restaurant brand sought a world-class restaurant design. They desired the prototype to perfectly align with their rapidly expanding concept. Chools was consulted and tasked with undertaking the project that would reduce the footprint inside the restaurant to a significant percentage. The design decision made had to be competitive with increased real estate opportunities. This re-design project aimed at healthy incorporation of operational and energy sufficiency. The kitchen labour was to be reduced.
The Solution
The initial action of the Chools was to carefully survey the different varieties of restaurant designs. We needed to understand the current and the evolving needs in the restaurant scenarios. The study extended to studying the use of space in a time-motion study. The key areas of improvement were highlighted. The pieces of cutting-edge kitchen equipment were recommended. Chools presented a comprehensive strategic plan to provide advanced and integrated POS and KDS. Online order system was modernised. Call centre, delivery dispatch and driver system were enhanced. Real-time guest order updates, improved reporting, KPI scoreboards and labour management systems were all optimized.
After the complete implementations, the restaurant saw a significant boost in its productivity as well as its business operations.
