NEW RESTAURANT CONSULTING

Westphal-Kelpe can be the perfect partner for your new restaurant concept. Working with each client during the concept development phase, our goal is to create a business plan that is realistic for your concept. Market research and site location analysis are only part of the challenge in opening a new restaurant. Our team will manage the design and construction of your facility for maximum employee efficiency and the perfect guest experience. Our services include all vendor negotiations, asset purchases and human resource needs for the project. In most cases, we oversee the opening of each new restaurant and supervise all areas of operations for the first few months.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Many new operators choose to keep Westphal-Kelpe involved with their business after opening. Our management services are customized according to the clients needs. We have handled 100% of the operational responsibilities for absent owners, or, performed monthly audits and financial services for experienced operators. We recommend at least one year of continued support following a new restaurant opening.
