Locate, Evaluate, Negotiate, Operate

From getting started through expanding and even selling the business, Michael provides support for every stage of a restaurant’s development. He is particularly well versed in the complicated process of preparing for opening day. A short list of his pro forma services include:

• Developing a business plan
• Advising on site selection
• Putting together the capital structure
• Negotiating the lease

• Securing participation of investors and lenders
• Team building
• Providing financial oversight of construction management
• Creating a pre-opening checklist

Once a restaurant is open, he provides ongoing operational oversight, benchmarking of results, and evaluation for restructure or expansion. After all, success comes with its own complications. And when it is time to sell, Staub can help create an exit plan that makes sense.
