THE CONSULTANCY

THE CONSULTANCYTHE CONSULTANCYTHE CONSULTANCY

How We Support Investors

The Consultancy LLC provides independent operating and systems advisory to investors and leadership teams across restaurants, foodservice, packaging, and delivery platforms.


Our work focuses on the decisions that most directly affect scalability, margin durability, execution risk, and exit outcomes—particularly where restaurant operations, packaging economics, and delivery systems intersect.


We engage selectively, operate senior-led, and stay close to execution.

Pre-Investment & Diligence Support

We pressure-test assumptions before capital is committed.


  • Unit-level operating model and contribution margin review
  • Delivery channel exposure and commission sensitivity
  • Packaging cost structure, sourcing risk, and performance
  • Labor, throughput, and service-model feasibility
  • Identification of hidden operational or platform-driven constraints


Focus: clearer underwriting and fewer post-close surprises.

Post-Investment Operating Advisory

Hands-on support during critical execution phases.


  • Pre-opening and rollout sequencing
  • Expansion readiness across on-premise and delivery
  • Operating resets where margins or execution have drifted
  • Leadership support and independent operating perspective
  • Alignment between concept strategy and platform reality


Focus: faster stabilization, cleaner scaling, improved consistency.

Packaging & Delivery Systems Strategy

Packaging and delivery are treated as integrated operating systems, not line items.


  • Packaging architecture aligned to dine-in, takeout, and delivery
  • Delivery-driven menu and packaging optimization
  • Cost, sourcing, redundancy, and failure-point risk mitigation
  • Sustainability claims vs. real-world performance
  • Vendor strategy and platform-aware negotiation support


Focus: margin protection, operational clarity, platform resilience.

Delivery Expertise

Through U.S. Delivery Consultants, we advise operators and investors on:


  • Third-party platform strategy and contract exposure
  • Commission structures and contribution-margin impact
  • Menu engineering for delivery economics
  • Packaging performance in last-mile environments
  • Internal vs. outsourced delivery decision frameworks


Delivery is treated as a controllable operating system—not a passive cost center.

Engagement Model

  • Independent senior advisor (no junior staffing layers)
  • Flexible: diligence support, project-based, or retainer
  • Direct collaboration with investment teams and operators
  • Engaged where experience and judgment materially improve outcomes and reduce execution risk.

We work quietly and selectively.


Interested parties may request a capabilities overview or introductory conversation.
