Budgeting and financial planning can be considered the first part of the organization as allocating the resources to defined areas will shape the more operative analysis that follow.
Define a fitted organigram with an optimum scheduling budget in hand or engineer a menu that will minimize the processes and the risks while deliver the best product according to our vision, structure a Kitchen and restaurant with smooth workflow and effective productivity.
All these activities are essential in order to run our business and not to find ourselves to continuously react to daily challenges without control.
Define policies, procedures and job descriptions are, at the end, the final organizational tools to have a perfected execution of the daily tasks.

How we manage our finances will either ensure the sustainability and growth or failure of a Business Vision.
Financial planning, product, team and organization together with a workable and realistic budget will guide the roadmap to success.
As our line of business is in constant change and evolution, also financial control should be continuous and detailed in order to not lose profit margin to purely operative decisions.

As we reach our goals, or a change of factors happen along the way, strategy need to be adjusted and calibrate on the new reality. Therefore, strategy, is not a process concluded in a study for all, but a way of thinking that accompanies daily work and observation of results.
