RESTAURANT consulting
Concept Development
Thach's concept development experience includes consulting on the first Hoke Poke restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, CA as well as two different concepts owned by the Law Brothers Group, Platform T and Uncle Joe's Hong Kong Bistro.
Website Design and Development
Do you like this Web site? Would you like your site to stick at or near the top of Google search results? Thach's team can design a website that can be anything from a simple presence on the Internet to a robust e-commerce platform that can handle transactions and contacts with ease and simplicity.
Inventory & Cost Management Training
One of the largest obstacles to opening a successful restaurant is poorly-structured inventory management. Thach can show new owners how to implement perpetual inventory and cycle menu systems to prevent waste and ensure that ownership knows where every dollar of expensive product is going.
Menu Design
Serving amazing food is one thing; writing a menu that makes food seem unique and appealing is another. Having a cohesive vision and clear execution is critical for restaurant success, and Thach has the experience to ensure that menus adhere to a similar technical standard and that the printed menus reflect the precision of the chefs and the characteristics of each dish's ingredients.
Recipe Research & Development
If your concept could be the Next Big Thing but the recipes don't exist, lack official measurements, or could use a professional touch, Thach can address these issues and offer his broad culinary expertise to elevate your concept's cuisine to the next level without sacrificing speed or value.
POS Selection
Nowadays, choosing a POS system is one of the most important decisions a business can make. There are so many options that offer inventory control, staffing management, and built-in payment processing over a wide variety of hardware platforms that the choice can be at best confusing and at worst nearly paralyzing. Thach and his team can drill down to what your concept needs and find the best, most comprehensive fit for your business. (TT Consulting is not affiliated with any POS software, hardware, or contract companies.)
Cost Analysis
Poor cost analysis can sink a new concept or severely handicap an existing one. Thach's years of cost management in everything from a cafe to a fine dining setting can work for you, making sure your dollars go where they can benefit you the most (and not into a trash can).
Talent Acquisition
It's hard to find good help these days. Forget taking a chance with a stranger's resume and let Thach and his team find you people they can truly vouch for who will excel in your available positions.
RETAIL FOOD MARKET consulting
Market Research, Business Forecasting
Thach and his team bring a global awareness of culinary trends and solid methods for market research to ensure your concept is right for your location.
Merchandising & Branding
Thach and his team can ensure consistency and style across all branded materials and merchandise. Make sure every I is dotted and T is crossed by letting them design your logos and menus and teach best practices for new or changed documents.
Site Selection
Location, location, location. You hear it all the time, and a bad location can be the death knell for a new concept. Make sure you're not making a large mistake down the road; let Thach and his team critique your site selection, or offer their advice on potential locations that could be more perfect for your concept than you imagined.
“MISE EN PLACE: A place for everything, and everything in its place.”
