Physical Inventory
Keeping track of inventory is vital to maintaining a successful service business. A business’s product is one of the most important factors in achieving success, yet most still waste products, which essentially leads to a decrease in profits. Most businesses don’t even realize the percentage of inventory that is being wasted on a daily basis, however, MBB will create systems and procedures that allow owners and managers to ensure proper inventory keeping procedures, thus reducing overall product cost.
Menu Design
MBB will design more profitable menus by analyzing customer demand, demographic, item percentage sales contributions, and costs and profit margins. We will also launch more effective campaigns by understanding the true plate costs of a new recipe, LTO or promotion.
Food Costing Solutions
For a restaurant owner, food cost percentage represents one of the fastest ways to make sure an establishment is pricing its goods properly, as well as making enough money in respect to one of its biggest expenses. MBB uses its knowledge and experience to save restaurant owners money by comparing actual food costs to what costs should have been for each item—the difference is money wasted. Food costing solutions are an incredibly powerful tool for restaurant managers and executives alike.
Sales and Cash Reconciliation
MBB collects critical data, such as over/short, guest counts, comps and discounts, credit card transactions, bank deposits, catering activity, day-part analysis and voids to ensure all cash inlays and outlays match up and accounts are properly accounted for. This process will also help the business uncover high-cost ingredients, isolate critical areas and track user-specific activities to eliminate any dishonest behavior, as well as implement preventative measures to ensure loss prevention.
Food Distribution
Utilizing MBB’s broad range of food distributor relationships can provide deviated pricing and rebates depending on the volume of the business. MBB also has the ability to provide the above services on a national level.

Rebranding and Reflagging
Rebranding essentially revitalizes the brand’s image, giving it a new look and feel with the goal to sway a customers perception of the product or company. MBB takes the time to refocus the brand and set the company apart from all competitors. There are many other reasons a business might want to present a different brand image. Possibilities include repositioning the company and vision to reflect a change of focus, setting the company apart from its competitors, updating the corporate image to appeal to a new market, expanding the business scope, and reflecting a significant merger or acquisition. In the case that a company wants to present a new image for reputation purposes, MBB has ability to positively guide a brand to distance themselves from past problems or issues.
Inventory Services
MBB takes a very practical approach towards inventory accuracy. Typically, there are relatively simple and inexpensive things that can be done to reduce or eliminate errors. We work through your specific processes with you to identify possible improvements. Whether the necessary changes are minor or major, we use our expertise to accurately find the issue and achieve maximum profit for your business. Cycle count is an inventory auditing procedure, as part of inventory management operations, wherein a small subset of inventory in a specific location is counted on a specific day. Manual counts are performed periodically as well.
Franchise Development
Good franchise programs take work, focus and a commitment to structure. It is strongly recommended that a company considering this transition into franchising consult with professionals in the field of franchise development.

MBB Provides a Successful Franchising Plan of Action:
1. Franchise Business Plan
Our team of professionals will develop a sound program for expansion to guide your brand through the first phase of development.
2. Franchise Legal Documentation
In order to offer franchises in the United States and within most state borders, a Franchise Disclosure Document needs to be created by a franchise attorney based on the standards set forth by the Federal Trade Commission. MBB will guide you through the complexities encompassed in legal documentation, franchise application packages and the required steps that states require a new franchise system to go through prior to being permitted to offer a franchise within that state’s border.
3. Franchise Operations Manual
As part of the franchise development process, a franchise system should have a fully documented and defined operations system that allows the franchisee to learn the business model and understand the required standards as set forth by the franchisor. MBB will create all brand-specific operation and training manuals that will be used as an effective sales tool for franchise models.
4. Franchise Marketing Program
MBB will develop franchise programs that incorporate the marketing element of the franchise process, such as media outlets and lead generation sources, brochures, pamphlets, and fliers to sell the business as an opportunity for potential franchisees.
