Restaurant Flow is a small, passionate team of labor specialists. We are laser-focused on quick, actionable, high-impact labor solutions. We didn’t plan to clock our 10,000 hours working on restaurant flow, it just worked out that way.
We survey broad restaurant operations to quickly and precisely identify the key levers that can unlock greater flow (and ROI). Then we help you work them so you see measurable results.
Our expertise comes from over 15 years of experience in quick-service restaurant operations in New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia. We’ve run shifts, commissary operations, and restaurant openings in new markets. We’ve operated multi-unit portfolios and spearheaded leadership and training initiatives. We’ve done deep dives on labor and real estate models to stay competitive. We know how to connect the dots, turn analytical insights into results, and prioritize the changes that will deliver the biggest wins for your team’s limited time and resources.
Our favorite tools are stopwatches, notepads, and spreadsheets. We love site visits and talking to people, and we like to work lean. If this sounds like you, let’s talk.
If you’re looking for a more comprehensive time and motion study, we may not be the right group for you but we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
