One of the most insightful tools available for restaurant owners/operators seeking to improve profitability and ease of operation is our detail assessment. This is one of the more commonly contracted services that Keith Marshall Hospitality provides. This creates a roadmap that helps to pinpoint both the strengths and the opportunities of each individual operator. Each assessment is customized to fit the client and their specific needs. The assessment is administered to give both a detailed evaluation along with a twelve-month strategic plan for moving forward. While each assessment is very detailed and covers all aspects of the operations, the priorities of each client ultimately directs KMH where to focus our time. Once an assessment is completed, we offer our profit-improvement services for restaurants of any venue. Keith Marshall Hospitality's network of operators consists only of consultants/operators with 20 plus years of experience and takes pride in analyzing all areas of the business. These include: menu, marketing, demographics, execution of operations, leakage (which can also be monitored remotely by KMH going forward with one of our unique programs), lease impact, insurance cost comparisons, Credit Card processing comparisons, payroll, analysis, cost controls, purchasing, menu mix impact, POS impact, vendor evaluations, technology impact and more.

We are confident that our Restaurant Operations Assessment can help you and we’ll offer it with our Money-Back Guarantee. “When the recommendations of the Restaurant Operations Assessment are implemented, we guarantee that you will make or save at least double the cost of this service. If not, we’ll gladly refund your money."

Keith Marshall and his team changed not only our restaurant, but our lives as well. Keith gained our trust and respect by forming relationships with each manager (and quite a few employee's). He recognizes each manager's strengths and exploits those strengths. He brings about a sense of confidence, he understands different personalities, and has amazing charisma skills to combat any problem that arises. This man changed the way I feel about work... it's fun now and I am proud to know him and his team. A huge THANK YOU to Keith!"

Terri Johnson.

In multiple restaurants I have been fortunate enough to be a partner in, I consider Keith Marshall to be one of my most important business relationships. Keith has been an integral part of creating a great financial model along with elevating the guest experience. He is professional, inspiring, engaging, and has even become a mentor to my management team.
I look forward to working with Keith for years to come...

Keith Marshall always surprises me with his knowledge of restaurant operations and his unbounded energy for getting work done. In my experience with Keith you get more than what you pay for. Working with him on a new restaurant concept was exciting and very informative. You can't go wrong working with Keith but you better be ready to move quickly because he certainly does.
