When Dean started with us we knew we had good turnover but we did not know how much net profit we were making, let alone what are break even point was.
During his time with us he deconstruct the entire food menu, linking with a recipe to the POS, formulated COS and instigated portion control.
With all this information at hand Dean was then able to, produce a definitive Profit & Loss document, make financial projections for the forthcoming year. As he was now aware of the operational needs, SOP'S were produced.
With the menu review imminent his theoretical GP% sheets were invaluable to adjust pricing to a level we were comfortable with. A brief was given, designer nominated and he has given us input into layout and order
I appointed Dean Appleton from A Moveable Feast to compile a forensic report on a bar, in Boksburg, which I have shares in.
He was assigned to report on the following
-
A detailed P&L with comments and recommendations
-
An analysis of the historical, current and future of the business
-
An analysis on the Management of the business by the other shareholders to date, with recommendations
Over a two week period he diligently and methodically compiled his report. Meeting with accountants, Point of Sale representatives, stock control analysts, event organizers, FOH & BOH staff, Management and fellow share holder to ascertain the true standing of the business.
Once established a concise report with recommendations for each section was compiled. The bullet point conclusion was an extremely useful tool to move forward and grow the profitability of the operation.
I have been working with Dean since March of 2019 on four different projects, from my side being the creative agency behind the brands.
His knowledge and understanding of the restaurant industry is obviously a culmination of over 25 years of experience and I have noticed he is always offering sound advise based on that.
With such a diverse brief in the different ventures Dean’s input was tailored to suit each need.
He posses strong operational skills within an organization to ensure the fluent running of the business

When AMF first started working on my businesses the Cost of Sales were running well over 50%. Dean was able to pinpoint the failures and correct, guiding the senior staff in their errors and implement procedures to improve the peformance. His weekly visits and reports gave me a perspective and insight into each unit.
