F&B Profit Recovery &
Stock Audit Consultancy
Your revenue isn't the problem.
Your profit leakage is.
If your wet GP is below target, food margins are drifting, stock variances keep appearing, waste is rising, or the numbers simply don't feel right, there is a reason.
I help pubs, restaurants and hotels identify where profit is leaking and put the controls in place to stop it
Understand The Numbers Behind The Problem
Wet GP below target, food margins drifting, stock variances, rising waste.
These aren't random events. They're usually the result of specific operational issues.

The numbers simply not feeling right
Most operators know when something isn't adding up.
The challenge is finding where the money is actually going.
That's where I come in.
How I Find It
1. Identify The Problem
The numbers tell us where to start looking.
2. Follow The Money
I investigate stock, purchasing, waste, food and drink controls, cellar management, cash handling and operational practices to identify where profit is actually leaving the business.
3. Stop It Happening Again
Finding the problem is only half the job. I help put practical controls in place so the same issue doesn't reappear next month.
£10,000 Per Month Recovered
A real example of what happens when the cause is identified and the controls are fixed...
A high-volume restaurant.
500 covers a day.
Busy every night.
Sales weren't the problem.
Profit was.
WHERE THE MONEY WAS GOING:
✅ Overpouring
✅ Uncontrolled waste
✅ Revenue capture issues
✅ Weak operational controls
THE RESULT:
✅ £10,000 per month recovered
✅ Profit restored
✅ Controls embedded

Stock Audits
Stock doesn't lose you money.
Poor stock control does.
I use stock analysis to identify where your F&B operation's cost of sales is leaking, what's causing it, and what needs to change.
Services
I work with restaurants, pubs, and hotels, single-site
or multi-site, across the UK hospitality sector.
Profit Recovery
The numbers in your business are telling a story. Most operators aren't reading it.
I get into the detail, identify where the profit is going, and give you the tools to stop it happening again.
Compliance Audits
Every business is different. I work with you to design a tailored audit framework built around your KPIs, your standards, and your operational priorities. The audit then measures your sites against what matters to you, not a generic checklist.
It gives you a consistent, independent view of how your estate is actually performing against the standards we've set together.
From The Cellar To The Bottom Line
Latest Insights...
Most hospitality margin problems don't start where operators think they do.
Whether it's cask range decisions, beer wastage, cellar practices, stock control or kitchen processes, small operational issues can create surprisingly large commercial consequences.
These four articles explore how small operational issues can create surprisingly large commercial consequences.
Something Not Adding Up?
Most operators know when something isn't right.
The challenge is working out whether it's a one-off issue, a reporting problem, or a symptom of something bigger.
Tell me what you're seeing. I'll give you an honest, independent view of what I'd be checking and why.
If there's nothing there, I'll say so.
If there is, we'll work out what to do next.
