Why ProfitHelpers Exists
ProfitHelpers was created with one mission: to help independent restaurant owners lower costs, increase profits, and build sustainable businesses.
Unlike major franchises, independent restaurant operators often wear every hat — cook, manager, accountant, buyer — leaving little time or structure to manage the business side effectively. That’s where we come in.
The Reality of the Industry
65% of all new restaurants fail within the first 3 years.
And for independent restaurants, the odds are even tougher.
Why?
Because while most owners work in their business, they rarely have the tools or training to work on their business. Managing by instinct, reacting to problems, and lacking visibility into their costs — they operate without the systems that franchises rely on to succeed.
Meanwhile, less than 10% of franchise restaurants fail in the first 3 years. What’s the difference?
Systems Financial oversight Clear goals Proper food costing Data-driven menu pricing
Franchises manage for profit. Independents often hope for it.
