Three ways to work together

Choose the scope for your business: restaurant audit or hotel F&B audit. The options below show prices for each.

One agreed issue

Focus Audit

When you want to investigate a specific issue, such as rising product costs or stock discrepancies.

One area at one property

1 day on site · data analysis · written recommendations · review meeting

from PLN 4,900 excluding VAT
Scope and terms
  • 1 day of up to 8 hours, dedicated to the agreed issue.
  • Written findings within 7 working days of completing the visit and receiving all agreed data.
  • 1 online meeting of up to 60 minutes to discuss recommendations.

Implementation is the owner’s responsibility. A broader analysis requires a separate agreement.

90 days of support

360° Audit plus implementation support

When you need support with putting recommendations into practice and reviewing progress.

Restaurant — full programme

90 days · 360° Audit · 4 days on site in total · 7 online meetings

from PLN 24,900 excluding VAT
Hotel F&B — full programme

90 days · 360° Audit · 5 days on site in total · 7 online meetings

from PLN 34,900 excluding VAT
Scope and terms
  • 360° Audit plus 2 additional implementation days of up to 8 hours each. That is 4 days in a restaurant or 5 days in a hotel in total.
  • 7 online meetings in total: 1 report review of up to 90 minutes and 6 meetings of up to 60 minutes, including the programme review.
  • Implementation of the agreed priority action plan: tasks, deadlines, responsibilities and progress reviews. New areas require a separate agreement.

  • Under the agreed plan, the Client receives up to 2 hours of consultancy support per week. Questions or materials submitted will receive a response within 2 working days.

    The 2-hour allowance includes time spent reviewing the Client’s questions, analysing submitted materials and preparing answers and recommendations.

    The time spent conducting the audit, analysing the findings and preparing the report is included in the package price and does not reduce the weekly consultancy allowance.

    Unused support time does not carry over to subsequent weeks.

90 calendar days from the agreed start date. The owner and team carry out the actions; the programme does not include taking over management or a daily on-site presence.

All prices are in PLN, excluding VAT. View a sample recommendations sheet.

Choose the scope

Support matched to your situation

Start with the question you want answered or the decision you need to make. The size of your venue alone does not determine the scope of an audit. A small restaurant can have complex operations, while a large hotel may need a focused review of one area.

During our initial conversation, I ask what has changed, how long the difficulty has persisted and what data is available. I consider the number of F&B outlets, the way work is organised and how the issue affects financial performance and daily operations.

I then recommend a focused review, a broader audit or implementation support. Before work begins, I define what I will investigate, the information needed and the materials you will receive, so the scope is clear and proportionate to your needs.

One specific problem

Focus Audit

Product costs, stock discrepancies or one recurring difficulty. I first identify the area to investigate.

Several connected areas

360° Audit

When purchasing, pricing, losses and staffing need to be reviewed together. For hotels, I also propose which F&B outlets to include.

Help putting changes into practice

360° Audit + implementation support

Support in selecting the next steps and reviewing progress. Implementation also requires time and commitment from your team.

A small, one-off discrepancy does not always justify a full audit. Before choosing the scope, I compare the fee with the scale of the problem and what can realistically be investigated.

Let’s discuss the right scope

An outside perspective

What do you gain from working together?

An independent perspective

Review habits and decisions that are easy to overlook during daily service.

Clear priorities

Identify where to direct your time and your team’s effort first.

Additional expertise

Support for you and your manager without creating another permanent position.

New openings

Planning a new opening instead?

Opening preparation is priced separately from audits of operating venues. Advisory and opening oversight starts at PLN 7,900 net; hands-on operational support starts at PLN 34,900 net.

Before we speak

What happens during the 90-day programme?
  1. 01

    Days 1 to 14

    Review the situation

    I get to know the figures, the venue and the way the team works.

  2. 02

    Days 15 to 30

    Agree on a plan

    We select priority changes and allocate tasks.

  3. 03

    Days 31 to 60

    I help you apply the agreed actions.

  4. 04

    Days 61 to 90

    Review progress

    We assess the results and agree on next steps.

We adapt the schedule to your venue’s situation and the availability of data.

What if the Focus Audit reveals a wider problem?

You receive findings for the agreed area and an explanation of what cannot be resolved without further analysis. Any additional scope and price are agreed before work begins. The scope is not extended automatically.

What do we agree before starting?

The proposal specifies the scope, period and sources of the data to be analysed, number of visits and meetings, schedule and final price. Travel and any accommodation are quoted separately before you accept the proposal. Each option covers one property; additional locations and areas require a separate quote. Any extension of scope must be agreed in advance.

Why are prices shown as ‘from’?

A small restaurant requires a different scope of work from a hotel with a bar, breakfast service and banqueting. The price depends on the scale of the operation, the number of venues and the available data. We agree on the scope and final price before work begins. All prices are in PLN and exclude VAT.

Are savings guaranteed?

I do not promise a specific saving before reviewing the situation. Results depend on the problems at the venue and the changes implemented. The 360° Audit plus implementation support programme lasts 90 days. It does not guarantee a particular profit.
