Do you need help on how to start a restaurant and food-service business in a retail environment?

Whether you need basic guidance on how to start a restaurant and food-service business or counseling through every step of concept development through opening execution, Food Sense can help you develop a clear vision into a thriving reality.

Food Sense President, Deborah L. Holand has developed and opened successful retail foodservice operations with some of the nation’s most respected specialty, supermarket and convenient store retailers. Ms. Holand has diverse project experience developing fast-casual retail concepts from full-service to self-service and commissary supported operations. She has proven success spanning more than 30 exciting concepts and specializes in new concept development and turn-around revitalizations.

National industry averages indicate 90% of all food-service businesses fail the first year, with many retail operations never reaching true profitability. The bottom-line is, successful retailers are benchmarking double-digit sales growth and/or profit margins above 25%, after food, waste, packaging and labor costs, with net profit return on investments above 30%. Of course, just because the opportunity exists doesn’t mean it is easy to turn this into reality and generate foodservice profits.

Why settle for poor performance when Food Sense can show you how to start a restaurant and food-service business, turning your valuable retail space into a meaningful profit center. Food Sense has the expertise to help you understand how to structure food-service concepts to maximize profitability and strengthen competitive position.
