Proven profit boosters for new and existing operations

At SRE, all of our services are designed for the single-minded pursuit of ensuring improved per-unit profitability. SRE uses a proven array of analytical tools, including time and motion studies, ergonomic and equipment capacity analyses, operational restaurant mock-ups, and computer simulations, to get positive, quantitative results.

 
Operational Assessments
After foodservice sampling studies and business data analysis are performed, SRE produces a detailed operational assessment of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. SRE presents the findings of the assessment, along with proposals to further analyze, develop, test, and implement the process/system improvements that have been identified.


 
Facility and Process Engineering
Increase your profits by 1% to 3% of per-unit sales with SRE’s singular engineering services and rigorous equipment research. We can engineer a new prototype or retrofit your existing facility. In an industry where small margins can spell the difference between profit and loss, investing in your operations is the proven way to better ROI. So before you build or remodel, let SRE plan your facilities for maximum profit.

 
Labor Management Systems
Using sophisticated task modeling, we quantify labor needs and develop computerized systems to schedule the right amount of labor at the right time automatically. The result? Schedules sensitive to foodservice-specific variables such as menu mix, occasion mix, seating configurations, transactions, and guest check. The same principles can be applied to retail operations. An LMS enables you to avoid over-staffing and under-staffing by quickly responding to abrupt fluctuations in customer flow, and it helps make the best use of staff and management time. SRE helps you select the appropriate software and customize it with data engineered to optimize your labor requirements. If you prefer, we can develop scheduling guidelines for labor management that enable you to achieve most of the beneficial impact without a computerized solution.

 
Implementation Services
In practice, we’ve learned that our clients are far more successful if provided direct support and consultation during the implementation stages of a project. Services vary by project, but can include review of construction and shop drawings derived from our schematic plans, rigorous validation of our labor guidelines, or validation of process improvements once our recommendations are incorporated. Whats more, we can provide management training support to ensure buy in and continued improvement.
