Restaurant Cost Consultant in Dallas–Fort Worth
I work with independent restaurants across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, McKinney, and the surrounding areas — cutting the three costs that quietly eat Texas restaurant margins: delivery commissions, card processing, and electricity.
Why DFW restaurants overpay
Delivery commissions in a delivery-heavy market
Dallas is one of the biggest third-party delivery markets in the country, and the math is the same everywhere: 15–30% headline commissions that reach 30–40% all-in. Through partners like Town, we move your repeat customers to zero-commission direct ordering and renegotiate the marketplace plans you keep. How it works →
Texas electricity is deregulated — and that's your advantage
Most of the Dallas–Fort Worth area sits in ERCOT's deregulated market, which means your restaurant can choose its electricity provider — and competitively bid its supply rate — while Oncor keeps delivering the power. Restaurants that have never bid out their contract are almost always overpaying, and Texas summers make the kWh add up fast. We run the bid, check your rate class and demand charges, and recover billing errors. The utility playbook →
Processing fees nobody has questioned
Same story in every market: flat-rate plans, junk fees, and markups that have crept for years. We audit your merchant statement line by line, move you to interchange-plus, or take the line item to 0% with a compliant dual-pricing program. The processing playbook →
What a DFW engagement looks like
- Free audit — send one month of statements (or I'll pick them up). You get a written savings plan in about a week.
- Implementation — vetted partners for ordering, processing, and energy; I manage the switches so nothing breaks during service.
- Quarterly re-checks — rates creep; I keep them down. I'm local, so this stays a relationship, not a one-off project.
