Through our research & development programs, interactive training materials and innovative cost control systems, we develop the infrastructure to take your concept from the drawing board to the street!

feasibility studies

Once an area is targeted, tools such as competitive analysis demographics reports and return on investment scenarios are used to determine market & economic viability.
operational & financial assessments

Our operational assessment addresses all aspects of your operation; from recipes to training materials, personnel to purchasing, menu design to cost controls and everything in between. Our written evaluation reviews your business from a subjective, objective and critical perspective and assists you in creating an efficient and effective action plan.

A restaurant should provide its owner with more than just a paying job. You need to see a rewarding return on your investment. CCF&B will assess your Profit & Loss Statement and re-state it according to industry best practices. We can then identify areas where improvements are needed and provide step-by-step solutions to increase your profitability.
