Business Success Consulting
Six ways we increase the value of your hospitality business
Whether you plan to sell your restaurant, open a second location, refinance your bar or get out from under costly debt, we start with the numbers and the floor — then build a plan lenders and buyers respect.
Expansion Readiness
Site selection, unit economics and multi-unit systems that let you open location two — or ten — without breaking location one.
Plan my expansion →Lending Relationships
Lender-ready financial packages and introductions to banks and lenders who understand hospitality — for working capital, equipment and build-outs.
Get lender-ready →Asset Discovery
Find the value hiding on your balance sheet and in your building — equipment, licenses, leases, brand, customer data and underused space.
Uncover my hidden assets →Debt Reduction
Restructure high-cost obligations, renegotiate vendor and lease terms and free up cash flow so the business can breathe — and grow.
Reduce my debt load →Operations & Back of House
Kitchen flow, labor scheduling, food and beverage cost control and bar programs that lift margins every single shift.
Tighten my operations →From the dining room to the dance floor
We know every room in your building
Fine dining, craft cocktail lounges, nightclubs, cabarets and comedy rooms — we help build value in every one, front of house to back.
Where are you headed?
Every plan starts with the goal: sell, expand or strengthen your finances
01
Preparing to sell
Selling a restaurant, bar or nightclub? Buyers pay for proven, documented earnings. We help you recast financials, fix what drags value down and present a business that's ready for due diligence.
- Business valuation readiness
- Financial recasting & SDE clarity
- Systems & SOP documentation
02
Ready to expand
Growth should multiply profit, not problems. We build the operating model, training and cost controls that make a second location — or a whole group — work.
- New-unit feasibility & site review
- Multi-unit systems & training
- Build-out and opening plans
03
Capital & debt relief
Need financing or relief from expensive debt? We prepare lender-ready packages, connect you with hospitality-friendly lenders and map a path to lower payments.
- Lending relationships & loan packages
- Debt review & restructuring plans

Questions owners ask
Hospitality consulting FAQ
How do I increase the value of my restaurant before selling?
Buyers and lenders value consistent, documented profit. Tightening food, beverage and labor costs, cleaning up your books and putting systems on paper are usually the fastest ways to raise what your restaurant is worth.
Do you work with nightclubs and adult entertainment venues?
Yes. Nightlife and adult entertainment businesses face unique lending, insurance and operational challenges, and we help owners build value and access capital with discretion.
Can you help me get a loan for my bar or restaurant?
We prepare lender-ready financial packages and help you build relationships with lenders who understand hospitality, improving your chances of approval on better terms. Hennessey USA is a consulting firm, not a lender.
What does the free business evaluation include?
A confidential conversation and review of your goals, finances and operations, followed by the top opportunities we see to increase value, reduce debt or prepare for a sale or expansion.
