A simple cadence that drives execution
The goal isn’t a thick report. It’s consistent action, clear accountability, and measurable progress.
Diagnose
- Review P&L, bank and key store KPIs
- Walk the operation (or do a video walkthrough)
- Identify the 3–5 constraints holding performance back
Prioritise
- Choose high-leverage actions
- Set targets + scorecards
- Assign owners and deadlines
Execute
- Weekly check-ins (40–60 mins)
- On-site support where needed
- Tight feedback loop: measure → adjust
The outcomes we aim for
Typical improvements we target in the first 30–90 days.
Financial clarity
- Clean view of true gross margin and contribution
- Cash flow rhythm: payments, creditors, and buffers
- Spend discipline and approvals
Operational control
- Stock counts that actually reconcile
- Reduced wastage and variances
- Better rosters, better service, fewer fires
