These 8 steps can save you hundreds of dollars in consultant expenses. Here is an article on why you might need a restaurant consultant.  It is a must read before you take the next step.

Attorneys, Accountants, and CPAs are potential resources.  A restaurant consultant will usually refer you to an attorney for legal advice and accountants for tax advice.  A consultant can be your guide towards creating a plan of action to help you reach your goals.

If you are looking for a restaurant consultant with years of experience and deep resources (and a free consultation) consider Jeffrey Summers at RestaurantWorx.  Refer to bottom of this page for other options.

Note:  First and foremost, know what role you are expecting the consultant to play.  As with an attorney or accountant, a business coach / restaurant consultant can have a variety of roles.  Use the resources above to determine the expectations you may have.  Contact me for more help should you feel there are still questions.

ALL of those listed below have high commitment to see you turn your "good business" into an outstanding business.  ALL give more value than you pay for.
