I’ve led internal audit across a 30+ site pub estate, delivering unannounced financial and operational audits to identify control weaknesses, protect margin, and improve site-level performance.
In multi-site hospitality businesses, profit isn’t lost at head office—it’s lost at site level.
Through:
-
inconsistent processes
-
poor adherence to standards
-
weak cash and stock controls
-
lack of accountability
Individually small. Across an estate, significant.
If your sites are operating differently, your margins will be too.
This service often sits alongside:
-
Stock & Margin Diagnostics
Identifying where profit is being lost
-
Profit Recovery Support
Fixing issues and improving performance
👉 Together, these provide a complete approach to profit protection and improvement across your estate

Operational Audits for restaurants and pubs in Birmingham
and across central England
Clarity by David Holden provides independent operational audits for restaurants, pubs, and hotels in Birmingham and across the West Midlands, alongside its multi-site estate audit work.
An operational audit examines cash handling, stock control, cost of sales integrity, and site-level processes to establish where financial control is breaking down and what it is costing the business. Findings are clear, evidenced, and actionable — not a general assessment but a precise picture of where performance is falling short and why.
The audit process is consistent regardless of the size of the operation. Independent, thorough, and where appropriate unannounced. The outcome is a set of findings that leadership can act on immediately.
If your operation is in Birmingham or across central England and you require an independent view of how it is performing financially and operationally, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
