Business Diagnosis

Identify the real bottleneck of your business before spending money, based on your own POS and P&L.

Many business owners assume the problem is that customers don't know them, so they increase ad spend, while the real bottleneck may lie in price, menu, or customers not returning. A business diagnosis puts the numbers on the table first, so you know where the problem is before deciding where to spend.

When you need it

  • You have revenue but haven't passed breakeven, and it's not clear why.
  • You've spent on ads, an agency, or an internal team without seeing results.
  • Customers come once and never return.
  • You're planning a second location and want to know if the first one is solid enough yet.
  • You're at the shop all day, with no time left to look at the numbers.

What Stratego does

  • Read the POS and P&L data of your own business.
  • Recalculate COGS and breakeven, review the menu and pricing.
  • Compare with execution data from F&B brands Stratego has worked with.
  • Also review the legal and technology areas if money is being lost there.

You receive

  • Main bottlenecks, clearly stated with data.
  • Priority order: tasks to do first, spending to stop.
  • Propose next steps, even when the answer is no need to spend.
