Why are courses for restaurateurs needed not for theory, but to earn money? <\/h2><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not all restaurant owners believe in learning. They invest money in renovations, dishes, advertising, decor, but not in knowledge of the operational work of the establishment. And this is what leads to the fact that there is a building and furniture, there are guests, but there is no profit. Honestly, if I were starting from scratch and had no experience in this field, I don\u2019t even know if I would trust the knowledge of other people?<\/p>

Learning the restaurant business is not about \u00abtheory.\u00bb It\u2019s about money saved and earned that the owner doesn\u2019t lose every day. But I still want to break down some points:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

1. A restaurateur without knowledge works on mistakes <\/h2><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Typical situation: the owner opened an establishment, guided by taste and intuition. But what does he get then:<\/p>

\u2013 the menu is prepared \u00abas tasty as possible\u00bb, not as profitable (when developing and tasting the menu, no analysis is carried out);
\u2013 does not have an analysis of suppliers' pricing policies;
\u2013 staff sells what is easier, not what is more profitable;
\u2013 promotions are invented \u00abbecause everyone is doing it\u00bb;
\u2013 does not understand the critical break-even point.<\/p><\/blockquote>

And this is only a small part of the reasons. This is not a business. These are experiments that cost tens of thousands of hryvnias every month.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

2. Courses provide numbers that save the budget <\/h2><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When the owner undergoes training, he begins to understand:<\/p>

\u2013 what is standardization of the institution and how should it be implemented (checklists, job descriptions, standards, disciplinary policy, etc.)
\u2013 what reports are needed to analyze a restaurant;
\u2013 what to sell on the menu and what is better to remove;
\u2013 how to select and motivate staff;
\u2013 what sales methods exist;
\u2013 how to protect the institution from staff schemes;
\u2013 owner's organizer<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Education saves on theft and chaos <\/h2><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Most often, a restaurant loses money not because of theft, but because of:<\/p>

\u2013 incorrectly completed attendance records;
\u2013 unaccounted balances;
\u2013 lack of correct technological maps;
\u2013 they do write-offs as they please;
\u2013 do not conduct an inventory<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

4. A seasoned restaurateur makes money on things that others don't even think about <\/h2><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A restaurant is not just a kitchen and tables. There are dozens of sources of income, for example: banquets, buffets, wine tastings, organization of conference services, catering, master classes, the opportunity to do photo shoots in the establishment, rental of halls, etc.<\/p>

\u2013 A restaurant does not become profitable from a full hall.
\u2013 It becomes profitable when the owner understands how to manage it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How RestaVR works: format, geography, result <\/h2><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We combine diagnostics, roadmap and implementation. We start with express analysis, then pilot changes in the menu, service, accounting. We work in the format of micro-intensives for the administration \u2013 courses for restaurant administrators<\/a> \u2013 and deeper programs for leaders \u2013 programs for restaurant managers<\/a> and restaurant management courses online<\/a>. We conveniently connect teams both in person and remotely \u2013 from staff training in Ukraine to ongoing support of establishments in European countries on a convenient schedule. To compare solutions and find growth points, we use an analysis of competitors in the restaurant sector and current restaurant business trends. Consultations are available in different regions \u2013 we agree on the details and format with the manager.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After basic implementations, changes are noticeable in 2-4 weeks: cleaner accounting, faster issuance, more stable reviews, predicted KPIs, and a financial model for the restaurant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. We adapt the tools to the format and team: we focus on the menu, service, and accounting to give a quick effect without overloading the processes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Start with a brief diagnosis and three priorities: menu engineering, inventory management, and sales techniques in the hall. Introduce the rest gradually.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
