WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US.
Abbey Hospitality Consultants is truly a “one-stop shop” if you are in the restaurant, retail or hotel business. Starting with Chris as the most unique leader that I have ever met, he services and supports a talented team of consultants and knowledgeable professionals that mastered their respective expertise and defined success through smart planning, hard work and positive results for their clients, as they make their vision a daily reality. I am extremely thankful for the outstanding results that I attained from Abbey Hospitality Consultants, and quite grateful for their dedication and commitment to excellence.
I contracted Chris and his Abbey Hospitality Consultants’ team to help us create an American restaurant concept in the Middle East. Opening a restaurant can be quite challenging, but creating a viable concept internationally is absolutely overwhelming. Not only Chris and his team made the opening of our first restaurant a raving success, but they transitioned our restaurant to become a unique brand, and got it ready for future scalability. I vetted numerous restaurant consulting companies and I found Abbey Hospitality Consultants to be the best in assisting restaurant startups, and tremendously enjoyed working with Chris and his team. Bravo!
Amazing job! I am so impressed with Chris and his AHC team for developing what my banker and CFO believed to be the best Business Plan that they have ever seen! The incredible business plan that you developed for us helped us acquire our proposed hotel and restaurants’ project, and made our long-life dream of becoming an entrepreneur a reality! Every section of the Business Plan was masterfully prepared, based on our projections and expectations, from Operations and Marketing to Financials and Analytics. Picture perfect! Well Done! Thank You!
My partner and I own 6 franchises from a national full-service restaurant company and 4 franchises from a national fast-food restaurant company. 8 out of our 10 restaurants were under-performing, out of which 4 were losing money. Corporate support was there from both companies and were not able to help us turn the restaurants around. An ex-franchisee of one of the concepts recommended that we reach out to Chris at Abbey Hospitality Consultants, and it was one of the best business decisions that we made! Chris and his team helped out in every facet of our business. They streamlined our operations, they installed a wonderful guest service culture, they controlled our expenditures by significantly cutting our landed costs, they improved our profits by dissecting our profit & loss statements and balance sheets into small sections and assigned them to various leadership members on our team, and increased our top-line sales by focusing on marketing programs that were customized to our locations, from community involvement and local restaurant marketing to spot advertising and social media. My partner and I, as well as our management and leadership teams, are eternally grateful to have Chris and his AHC team on our side, and we truly thank them for an amazing job that was masterfully and successfully well done!
I own and operate a Mediterranean restaurant and was referred to Chris at Abbey Hospitality Consultants by my real estate broker. Chris and his team of experts did a wonderful job in assessing our needs and devised a customized action plan that addressed every issue and challenges that we were facing. They revamped our recipes, created an amazing digital menu with multiple screens, implemented guest service and marketing initiatives and redesigned the floor plan for the market to better visibility, increased traffic and impulse buying. I strongly recommend Chris and his Abbey Hospitality Consultants Team for all your restaurant and retail needs. Thanks for a job well done!
