Find the money hiding in your operation.
Plenty of food operations are busy and still don't make money. The margin usually hides in costs nobody tracks item by item, contracts nobody revisits and budgets nobody manages from. We build the numbers, find the leaks and give your managers a P&L they can run the business with.
Volume is steady or growing, but margins are flat or shrinking.
Food cost drifts, and nobody can say exactly why.
You don't have a reliable P&L or cost per item for what you make.
Packaging, supply and service contracts haven't been renegotiated in years.
Relevant experience
At a USDA food manufacturer, Nacho delivered $9.4M in net income within 12 months after two and a half years of negative trend, and renegotiated packaging, linen and corrugated contracts for $265K in savings. At Real Mex Foods he took plant EBITDA to 12%.
Results achieved by Nacho Varela over the course of his career.
In Nacho's experience: labor schedules, portion control, contracts and safety costs. The mix is different in every operation, so we measure before we recommend.
No. We work with your accountant or controller on the operating side: what each product really costs and which decisions on the floor move the P&L.
Some changes, like contracts and scheduling, show up in weeks. Larger ones depend on your operation, and we'll tell you honestly what to expect after the diagnosis.
Build better. Operate smarter.
Plant and commissary design, equipment layout and start-up for USDA and FDA facilities, plus the quality, sanitation and compliance programs that keep them running.
Get more out of the plant you have.
Product flow, labor scheduling, portion control, yields and KPIs. The floor-level work that raises efficiency and productivity in the plant you already run.
From recipe to production line.
Industrial formulation, batch sheets, COGS, nutritional analysis and packaging, so a recipe that works in the test kitchen works at production scale.
Share a few details about your operation and the outcome you need. We'll suggest the right starting point.
