Our Expertise
Comprehensive F&B Solutions
The Amicus Method
Every engagement runs through the same four phases, whether we are opening a 40-cover cafe or restructuring a multi-site catering contract. Scope changes. Sequence does not.
01
Diagnose
We read the last three months of your P&L line by line, cost every recipe against its selling price, count and value the stock, check purchase rates against market, observe a full service, and run an unannounced guest visit.
02
Blueprint
We design the solution: for a new project, concept, brand positioning, layout and equipment schedule; for an existing one, a re-engineered menu, corrected pricing and a rebuilt cost structure.
03
Execute
We negotiate with vendors, sequence the licences, recruit and train the team, install POS, ERP and QHSE systems, run the trial services, and open the doors.
04
Calibrate
Standards drift, costs creep, staff turn over. We hold a monthly review on your numbers and correct against target before a bad month becomes a bad quarter.
01
Launch
Turnkey restaurant and cloud kitchen development: from concept feasibility to a profitable first month, under one accountable team.
Menu engineering, recipe standardisation and costing
Pricing strategy built on contribution margin, not guesswork
Supplier identification, rate contracts and purchase specifications
Organisation chart and manning budget
02
Profit
Diagnostic P&L and prime-cost audits that typically identify 5-12% of recoverable profit within the first 30 days, for businesses that are busy but not profitable.
Purchase rate comparison against current market
Stock variance and waste quantification
Ranked action list with cost, timeline and expected return
A single recoverable-profit figure, in rupees
03
Operate
Hospitality and contract catering management, for owners who want the business run to a standard without building an entire management layer themselves.
Inventory control, stock variance, revenue and cash control
Contribution margin analysis by item and category
Profit and loss against budget, cost-centre reporting
Production and waste control
04
Scale
Brand architecture, systems and leadership development for the single successful outlet that should be three.
Brand positioning, naming and identity direction
Concept extension and format design for new locations
Unit economics that a second site can actually reproduce
Central purchasing and commissary model
How We Engage
And What It Costs
Four ways to work with us. Most owners start with the first and decide from there.
Diagnostic Audit
Fixed fee · 2-4 weeks
A defined, standalone piece of work: we read your P&L, cost your menu, count your stock, check your purchase rates, observe a service and give you a written report of what is leaking and what it is worth. If you appoint us for a larger engagement within 90 days, the audit fee is credited in full.
Project / Turnkey
Fixed fee or % of project value
For new openings, relocations and major refits. Priced against a defined scope and released against milestones: feasibility, blueprint sign-off, construction handover, opening, stabilisation. You know the total before we start.
Management Retainer
Monthly · defined days on site
For operating businesses. An agreed number of days on site per month, a fixed scope, a named lead consultant, and a monthly review of the numbers with the owner. Usually the right model for a business that needs discipline held in place.
Performance-Linked
Reduced base + agreed share
Our preferred model where the numbers support it. A reduced base fee plus an agreed percentage of the improvement, measured against a baseline both parties audit and sign at the start. If the margin does not move, neither does our share.
We quote per engagement rather than from a price list, because a 40-cover cafe and a multi-site hospital catering contract are not the same job. You get the full number in writing before any work starts. We sign an NDA before reviewing any financial information, as a matter of course.
