Smarter operations. Stronger margins.
Practical, in-the-room consultancy for cafes, restaurants and hospitality start-ups across Ireland — led by working operator Shona Bourke.
Hands-on advisory across every part of your operation.
We work alongside owners and managers — not from a distance. Every recommendation is one we've executed ourselves.
Margin & cost control
Find the leak in the bucket. We rebuild your cost lines, GP and labour ratios so every euro pulls its weight.
Supplier consolidation
Fewer invoices, better terms. We renegotiate, consolidate and audit your suppliers without sacrificing quality.
Start-up support
From concept to first service. Concept, fit-out advisory, menu engineering and operational set-up for new openings.
Operational efficiency
Tighter rotas, clearer SOPs, better service flow. Practical changes your team will actually adopt.
Coffee programme & barista training
Build a coffee programme that delivers consistency, speed and standout drinks every shift.
Team & service standards
Hire, onboard and retain. Coaching that turns good teams into the reason customers come back.
Built on a working cafe in Kilcock.
Shona Bourke owns and operates Rye River Cafe in Kilcock, Co. Kildare — a multiple award-winning restaurant recognised for its hospitality, food and service. Every system, supplier negotiation and rota that we recommend has been pressure-tested in a real, busy hospitality business.
That's why our advice lands: it comes from someone still on the floor.
"We had a great experience working with Shona. Her knowledge of the industry, attention to detail and practical approach made a real difference to our business. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to elevate their hospitality business."
