site report
After an initial email assessment, each project really begins with a site visit, as every business is unique, to assess the current state of operations, identify bottle necks and problem areas. We need to get a feel for the personality of the place and the people who work there, so that the solutions and systems are a tailored fit for your business. Fundi can then design rates and packages to suit you. We specialise in independently run guest houses and game lodges.
menu planning
& staff training
We then customise a workable action plan that will enable you to maximise revenue and kitchen efficiency. We create this plan within the budgetary framework and design style of your business to elevate your approach to guest satisfaction. Once the action plan has been agreed, we collaborate with you to train your staff, help with implementation and trouble shoot any possible issues. We are happy to guide with a new ventures and pre-existing venues.
cost management
We have various simple strategies that can propel your operation into a profitable future. There is no point in making changes that are not properly costed and trackable. We’re committed to redefining success through collaboration, innovation and getting the most out of your team. A follow up visit (rates apply) is a really important part of what we offer; to ensure that everything remains on track and that any adjustments to the strategy can be made.
