BARventure - Hospitality Consultancy

BARventure Hospitality Consultancy is a unique service aimed at small to medium enterprises (SME's). It expands on the BARventure Website philosophy of providing a great, targetted service at a sensible and reasonable price. Check out the questions and answers below for more information and if we can help you send us an email.

Who can we help?
BARventure Hospitality Consultancy can help any small to medium sized hospitality business that feels it isn't performing where it should be. This can be anything from Guesthouses, to Restaurants, to Deli's, Pubs, Pizza Bars, Hotels, B&B's, Coffee Shops, Juice Bars and so on.

We currently mainly work inside London, the South and the South East.

What can you do for my business?
We can help identify failings and growth opportunities in many different areas of your business ranging from the customer journey through to menu development, management structure, training, presentation, customer experience and back of house functions. We work closely with you and your team to identify your goals and then help guide you towards achieving them.

We act as a second pair of eyes to your business, helping to identified the things holding you back. Many SME owners and operators are so close to their businesses and so personally and financially involved that it becomes very hard to remain objective. Passion superceeds sound business judgement and the details that are so vital in connecting with your target market can often get lost.

Our services are individually tailored to suit your needs which means that every business is handled differently. We don't have generic forms which will fill in - everything is created specifically for your business.

All our clients receive a full written report detailing our observations, reasons and recommendations (O.R.R) for their business and we priortise the work into one of three categories - high, medium and low. This 'checklist of changes' can then be used as a map to help you grow and improve your business.

Why are you different from other Consultancy Firms?
BARventure Consultancy only works with SME's. We feel there are already enough large Consultancy Firms out there to help the big guys - we're here for the little ones. The people who ploughed all their savings into a restaurant and need a nudge in the right direction. We keep things simple and don't overcomplicate things with useless jargon.

Everyone that works for BARventure Consultancy works on a freelance basis and all of us hold down full time jobs within the industry. This means that we can employ the right people specific to the needs of your business - you don't just get the first available 'management consultant'.

We all work off of laptops and we don't have big flash offices to pay for. This keeps our costs low and our flexibility high.

So how much do you charge?
Our prices are individually tailored to you based on business size and the areas you would like us to help you with. For a basic consultancy involving a review of the customer experience and journey, business offer, margin improvement and profit conversion, prices start from £450.

This involves two to three site visits, our full report and a follow up meeting to discuss our recommendations - all of which takes about 4-6 weeks.

I'm interested, how can I get more information?
Email us using the link at the top of this page including a description about your business, the areas you'd like help with and your contact details (both e-mail and telephone) along your website address if you have one.

We'll review the information and get in touch to discuss your personal requirements. If we think we can help, we'll provide you with a breakdown of the service we'll provide including costs and then you can choose if our service is the right one for you.

Payment is split 50% on agreement, with the remainder payable on delivery of our report.
