Summary

Rolling forecasts, supplier renegotiation and a new pricing model gave the founders the confidence to open two new locations.

The challenge

Maison Ardent’s founders wanted to expand but had no forecast and little visibility on which dishes and nights actually made money.

Our approach

Our fractional CFO introduced weekly cash forecasting, menu-level margin analysis and renegotiated three major supplier contracts.

The result

  • Operating cash flow up 32% in twelve months

  • Two new locations opened on schedule

  • A board-style monthly review the founders rely on
