Project #2: Operational Optimization

Profitability Audit for the Ortakoy Restaurant Chain

A deep analysis of the cost structure and revenue streams to identify critical points for improvement.

Task & Challenge

The client, a growing chain, was experiencing fluctuating profit margins despite increasing revenues. It was necessary to identify the structural causes of operational cost inefficiency, with a focus on personnel and procurement costs.

Our Approach

We implemented a three-phase audit process: process mapping (from procurement to service), financial data analysis for each location, and internal benchmarking to identify best practices.

Implementation & Results
  • 18% reduction in personnel costs through schedule re-optimization.
  • 7 percentage point increase in gross margin through renegotiation of supplier contracts.
  • Development of a financial model for evaluating potential new locations.
