The intervention
The standard offer is a structured 90-day programme. Parco's documented outcome followed a separate 120-day operating reset.
The fixes sequenced by impact and effort, with owners and dates. The biggest leaks first.
Supplier renegotiation, portion and recipe control, and a menu re-built around margin and mix.
Stabilisation · founder involvement
Weekly P&L review keeps the numbers visible. Dayaparan leads premium engagements personally, applying judgement where the shift and commercial model meet.

Many turnarounds stall on the same finding: the operation needs a different operator. Within a turnaround engagement, GGB advises the search and assessment of replacement operating leadership against the recovery plan’s numbers. Advisory inside the engagement; not a standalone recruitment service.
When the cost side is under control, the demand side is rebuilt with the same discipline — channel mix, direct-vs-aggregator balance and offers that recover margin instead of buying empty volume. Delivered within the turnaround engagement — not a standalone agency retainer.

Immediate next move
A turnaround consultant finds where a trading restaurant loses its margin, whether food cost, labour, rent or delivery, then writes the recovery argument, designs each intervention and chairs the weekly review while your team carries it out.
GGB runs turnarounds as a structured 90-day programme. Menu and purchasing moves can land within weeks, while structural resets take longer. The diagnosis sets the order, and no date is promised before your numbers are read.
The first step is free: the Profit Leak Audit runs on your own device. The turnaround programme starts from AED 95,000 (indicative — scoped per engagement) and is scoped once the diagnosis shows where the margin goes.
A venue or group that is already trading, usually with healthy-looking revenue and a weak bottom line, whose owner can make decisions within weeks. It is not for a venue with no runway left to act on.
By P. Dayaparan, founder of GGB Consulting: 28+ years in hospitality leadership, PMP. Updated .
A turnaround is for a venue or group already trading — usually with revenue that looks healthy and a bottom line that does not — whose owner will make decisions inside weeks, not quarters. It is not for a venue with no runway left, or for an owner who wants the consultant to run the floor. Struggling venues rarely lack effort; they lack diagnosis. Cutting the wrong cost, discounting the wrong menu, changing the wrong thing first: each instinct-led move spends runway the turnaround needed. Transformation starts where the leak actually is, or it is redecoration.
GGB development framework position on the Restaurant Genesis system
Free, on-device, and the honest first step: your numbers against the published bands — food, labour, rent, delivery — with the biggest leak named first. Nothing you type is stored, and the conversation only continues if the read earns it.
The paid read that follows: the P&L, purchasing, menu, roster and controls inspected against the leak list, ending in a written recovery argument — what moves, in what order, and what it is worth in dirhams.
The list re-engineered for contribution: category roles, pricing, kill-list — the estate’s fixtured menu discipline applied to your menu.
Prime-cost workbooks, purchasing discipline and variance rhythm installed as weekly instruments.
Service sequence, roster logic and QC cadence rebuilt to the format the numbers can carry.
A weekly operating review that keeps the recovered ground held — chaired by the founder for the programme’s term, then handed to you.

Licensed professionals & authorities
Why the split matters — five specialists, one disconnection: what one mandate integrates
The Profit Leak Audit reads the P&L before anyone’s theory gets airtime; the scoped operating review then inspects what the audit flagged.
Sequence by dirham impact, not by comfort.
Fix the wound, then install the instruments that keep it closed.
The weekly command rhythm is the difference between a bounce and a recovery — and it is yours to keep when the programme ends.
The transformation discipline is documented, named and consented where consent exists:
The records behind this service
Three-month restaurant consultancy
Role: Founder-delivered consultancy — a deliberately time-bounded engagement.
Limit: No scope, deliverable or result is claimed for this engagement — only that it took place.
Each record opens with its roles, deliverables and the limits of what it proves — read the record, not the summary.
The estate’s one named engagement is the consented Parco Group record on /results/parco-group: food cost from 44% to 29% in 120 days, and average daily sales from AED 6,000 to AED 14,000 over nine months. That is one consented client record; results vary, and no figure from it is a forecast for your venue. The operating controls this door installs are the same instruments evidenced on file: the 2013 prime-cost workbook lineage on /work and the fixtured diagnostic engines across this estate. Every other engagement stays anonymised by design.
Transformation runs as the structured 90-day programme; the named Parco outcome followed a separate 120-day reset. The free Profit Leak Audit is the honest first step and the scoped operating review is the paid one — the engagement starts from your numbers, not from a pitch.
