Restaurant Cost Reduction Consulting

The cost of everything is going up. We get yours to go down.

We help independent restaurants across Dallas–Fort Worth cut their three biggest controllable expenses — third-party delivery commissions, credit card processing fees, and utility bills — by pairing you with vetted partner companies and renegotiating what you already pay.

Three line items. One goal: a leaner restaurant.

Most restaurants overpay in the same three places. We audit each one, show you the real numbers, and connect you with partners who fix them.

Service 01

Online Ordering Commission Reduction

DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub take 15–30% of every order — often 30–40% all-in after fees and promos. We move your regulars to zero-commission direct ordering with partners like Town, and renegotiate the marketplace rates you keep.

Service 02

Payment Processing Fee Reduction

Restaurants routinely overpay on interchange, markups, and junk fees. We audit your statements line by line, negotiate transparent interchange-plus pricing — or take the whole line item to 0% with compliant dual-pricing programs.

Service 03

Utility Cost Reduction

Restaurants use roughly 2.5x more energy per square foot than other commercial buildings. We benchmark your bills, source better supply rates where markets allow, and identify equipment fixes that cut usage 15–25%.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a restaurant cost consultant charge?

Our audit is free. If we find savings, we share in a portion of what you actually save — if you don't save, you don't pay. There are no retainers or upfront fees.

How much can a restaurant realistically save?

It varies, but the three categories we target are large: delivery commissions of 15–30% per order, card processing costs averaging 2.2–3.5% of every sale, and utility bills that often exceed $15,000 a year. Even single-digit percentage improvements on each add up to meaningful annual savings.

Do I have to switch vendors?

Not always. Sometimes we renegotiate your existing agreements — high-volume restaurants can often negotiate lower marketplace rates and processing markups. When switching makes sense, we manage the transition with our partner companies.

What do you need from me to start?

One month of statements: your third-party delivery payout reports, your merchant processing statement, and your electric and gas bills. The audit takes about a week.
