The difficulty of hospitality is making a good margin with the right product. Hospitality especially in Melbourne, is about the whole experience, it is not just the food, but the surroundings and the service.
Many times we have seen through years of experience the over-capitalisation on fitout which could itself prove to be detrimental to a new establishment. Purchasing quality product at the right price and ensuring that staff levels with effective rostering are managed appropriately are areas we have assisted clients with. We look at where each business wants to be and ensure that the target market and patrons are receiving what your vision is. Through our highly trained hospitality accountants we make sure that these goals are met. Sometime however no matter how much you have planned you need to adjust the model to suit what the markets wants and to ensure that your brand and food achieves its purpose.
With hospitality being a difficult work environment due to hours of work required and the constant need to find staff due to the nature of the industry, we look to assist in appointing and working with the owners to find the right people to assist with hospitality accounting.
