Greetings Restaurant Owners,
How’s business? No matter who you are, it can always be better! Especially when you’re in the restaurant business. If you’re not satisfied with your current level of business or profit margin, the menu, wine list, your operations or staff, or whatever, we can help.
My name is Harry Olson. My wife, Adele, and I owned a Bistro for 16 years in the south suburbs of Chicago. We sold our restaurant and now want to make Sedona our home. Friends in the Sedona area say we should open a restaurant here so they’d have some place good to eat. They complain that they can’t get a good meal with good service, that there is always something wrong with their dining experience, that they can’t even get a good hamburger or hot dog in town, let alone a quality gourmet meal. Our answer to them was and still is “Sedona doesn’t need another restaurant, it needs to make its good restaurants great and its great restaurants the best!”
So, how can my wife and I help? Well, not only did I own the restaurant, I was the chef. I developed all my own menus and recipes. I designed my kitchen and set up the line the way I wanted it so it would work with my menu. I watched my kitchen staff work and made necessary changes when needed. I am kind of an efficiency expert! Waste was minimized, food cost were at or near 30%. Not only did I design the menus, but I printed them out myself and whenever I needed to change them, I did! I also designed and programmed our web site. I planned wine events and advertise them on the web. I created training videos with my own cameras and computer using video editing software. I wrote my own order entry software. My wife was in charge of the front of the house, manages, bar tends, waits on tables, does the hiring and firing, haggles with our purveyors, pays the bills and all the other things an owner does. The bottom line is we’ve got the experience necessary to spot problems and fix problems. Not that you don’t know what you’re doing, but sometimes its good to have another pair of eyes take a look and give an unbiased opinion!
Restaurant Services
Review of Operations
We’ll come into your restaurant on an average day and observe your staff in action. If you have problems areas you want us to concentrate on, let us know and we’ll zoom in, otherwise we’ll give you a general overview of your operation, where we see problems or potential problems. We can come in as ourselves, or come in secretly as new hires.
Create a New Menu
We’ll look at your current menu and work with you to add or delete items and create a new look or improve the current one. We can create the menus and once we have the computerized version we can show you how to do the menus yourself to cut down on printing costs.
Create a Website
Harry will create your own website or add your restaurant to www.redrockrestaurants.com. The cost is just $500 initial set up with pictures and a slide show, and 1 year hosting, includes free unlimited announcements in our Red Rock Restaurant's Calendar of Events!
Link to your existing Website
If you already have a website we'll add a link from our website to your website no purchase necessary.
Create a Newsletter Program
Harry and Adele will create a newsletter for your own restaurant We have found direct mail to be one of the most effective ways to advertise, especially for a restaurant. It helps foster a more personal touch with your customers and helps them become a more regular customer, which is what we’re really after!
Plan Wine Dinners or other Special Events
Harry and Adele can help you plan wine dinners or other events. We can select the wines, create a menu, post it on the website.
Secret Diner
If you would like, we will come into your restaurant as secret diners, then give you a report on how the food was and how your staff performed and the condition of your restaurant including cleanliness, ambiance and overall feel.
Staff Training
Harry and Adele can help train your current staff, take videos of the training and give you your own copies of the training videos for you to use in the future. This cuts your overall training costs and keeps your training professional and, most importantly, consistent.
Emergency Help
Everybody is shorthanded at some point in time and if you really need help we can be there for you. Harry can saute, grill, make desserts, salads, soups and do just about anything in the kitchen. Adele can tend bar and be the Hostess with the mostess and Manage. Adele and Harry are not waiters, bus people or dishwashers, although we help out in all these areas.
Private Consultation
Sometimes its just good just to talk out an idea or problem with somebody. You might find the answer yourself before we even say anything! Of course we will hold our consultations in strict confidentiality as we do with all of our business dealings.
