Now some of you may know that I am not the biggest lover of boats, but this was going to be moored so I figured I could cope with that. However!!!!!!! As it was such a lovely day, they decided to have a little trip up the River! I did go green at the thought of it, but I needn't have panicked! Beautiful food, on a beautiful hot Summer's day, amongst good friends and newly found friends.

His extensive career has spanned from restaurants and bars to managing and organizing major conferences and banqueting events in the most prestigious venues in London.
Arno’s ‘hands-on’ approach as a General Manager in places such as; The Wallace Restaurant (Oliver Peyton), ‘Searcys’, at The Barbican and Marco Pierre White’s Frankie’s Bar and Grill made each of these restaurants stand out from the crowd and systems introduced by Arno are still being used today. Arno’s last role as Operations Director for a chain of Country Inns taught him to multitask and never, ever take his eyes off the cash flow.
Arno assisted in the planning and implementation of The Queen’s 80th Birthday Celebrations held at Mansion House and with The Hurlingham Club‘s £22m refurbishment to establish a first class Conference and Banqueting facility. What Arno does not know about hospitality is not worth knowing.
With this talented Trio heading up Coopers Restaurant Consultants, it is sure to be a success! Below this is a more detailed description of exactly what they can do for you, but in the meantime you can contact them on.......

SERVICES
Menu Creation - A successful menu is
key to achieving the right balance between profit and loss. For most
restaurants your menu is your core product. Philip Cooper will look at your menu,
highlight certain errors or if necessary, give it a face lift. Together with
your team a new menu will be created that is tailored to your restaurant.

Sales Skills, Up-selling, Professional Service, Customer Care, Finance, Improved

establishment is Front of House. A well-run restaurant can save you money in
staff costs and increase profitability by employing efficient sales techniques
and providing a positive, friendly experience for your customers.

find that money has many ways of leaking out of your business. We can conduct a
thorough financial overview and get to the source of the leaks, stop them in
their tracks and ensure they never re-occur. Coopers can look and improve upon your current financial systems, consult on
available new methods and find those that may be better suited to your operation and budget. We look at; Food Wastage,
Maintenance and Utilities, Daily Invoice reconciling, Full P&L Cash flow, Wage
Cost and Rota’s, Forecasts and Stock Takes.

discuss the effectiveness of your brand and the marketing efforts of your
venue. Coopers work with specialist marketers who will make a world of

few. Whether your event is for 20 or 2500 guests, our contacts in the industry will guarantee
you get perfect results. Philip Coopers’
innovative approach to food allows you to get the exact menu you wish for. He
will advise, budget and add creativity and expertise along the way, making sure
your guests will be talking about your event for months after it’s finished.
Free Consultation - Phil and
Arno are able to get under the skin of your establishment in as little as a week from your initial call. We offer
a free consultation and often pop in before that meeting to get a feel for
your business before

your customers and the Coopers point of view.
