Business – Finance Strategy

COGS, break-even point, menu and prices: know what to do to get the fastest cash flow.

The question for this scope of work is: how do you get cash flow as quickly as possible? The answer comes from your own business's numbers, not from general theory. Stratego's strength is F&B: menu, pricing, location, and chain expansion.

When you need it

  • You want to get past your break-even point sooner but don't know where to start.
  • Prices and menu are set by feel, without fully accounting for COGS.
  • You want to open a second location without breaking the one currently running.
  • You need a clear enough plan before raising capital.

What Stratego does

  • Build a COGS and break-even model from your POS and P&L.
  • Review the menu and prices by profit margin for each dish group.
  • Test scenarios on pricing, costs, location, and opening additional locations.
  • Finalize the order of tasks by their impact on cash flow.

You receive

  • A financial model of your own business, to test future decisions.
  • Business strategy translated into specific, prioritized tasks.
  • The metrics you need to track to know whether the plan is on the right track.
