Hello, I’m Jack

A while back I finished a Maths degree. I was then thrown into the deep end. At 22 I took over my family’s seafood restaurant Applebee’s. Very typical family business, lots of love but no systems. Later, I founded La Gamba. An incredible site on the Southbank.

I’ve been doing this for 11 years. I’ve encountered almost every problem an independent business runs into. But what I’m really good at is increasing margin by simplifying process.

I know how hard times can get. I help others turn their great restaurants, into great businesses.

I help great restaurants make money

Restaurants are one of the most difficult businesses there is. Founders start them from a place of passion and love for food, drink & hospitality. But we must remember. They are also a business.

I help put simple systems in place. You can focus on making the restaurant great. Whilst the numbers take care of themselves.

I come in and do the work

I don’t just tell you what needs doing. I come in and do it. First I sit down with you. Then with your team. Then I build a simple system that fits your business.

Here are the last two sites I did this with. After 3 months one went from 70.2% margin to 75.5%. The other went from 74.13% to 80%. That’s worth £293k a year between them.

I run a free diagnosis session. I will calculate what you could be saving. If I believe I can help, then it’s no win, no fee. You only pay a share of what I save you.

Why I do this

The last few years have squeezed restaurants hard. Harder than anything I’ve seen in my 11 years. For many independents it’s now the difference between surviving and closing.

I’ve done it in my own restaurants. Now I want to do it for others. And stop good places going under.
