Additional Restaurant Services

Our expertise as food consultants and understanding in the food and beverage industry doesn't end with updating restaurant services or changing menu design. We've lived each aspect of what we do, across our team and through our clients. We've also gained knowledge in a variety of other areas that are important, and knowledge-worthy of VSAG's resources.

Purchasing & procurement services

Whether you have one site or hundreds, purchasing supplies and ingredients can take staff time and energy that are better spent on other endeavors. VSAG can take your purchasing and procurement off-site, so it’s taken off your to-do list. Working within your own system, VSAG will fulfill procurement services in a way that improves on previous systems and helps save time and money in the process.

Expert Witness Testimony

Lawsuits are headaches that sometimes can’t be avoided. Attorneys have turned to VSAG many times to understand the restaurant industry better. Using VSAG as your expert witness can help a jury or judge better understand your business, and with a third-party expert on your side you’ll gain integrity, whether in the courtroom or in a deposition.

Technology systems = RFPs, POS Selection

Now that computers and automation affect every aspect of operations, even selecting a POS can be a time drain. Turn to VSAG to draw on our knowledge of the field and to help fabricate RFPs to send to vendors. Or use past successes as templates for your own concept — whether it’s an upgrade or a brand new system.

Food Safety Audits & Systems

Whether you’ve had problems in the past or are looking to avoid them in the future, experts in food safety can ensure you are following best practices and improving your chefs’ systems. VSAG offers processes and systems to keep your kitchen clean and serving food that surpasses the health department’s requirements.

HR Services

Running a restaurant is hard enough without having to deal with paychecks, benefits and employee relations. VSAG can advise and consult on all aspects of your HR department, giving you someone to turn to if you have trouble with an employee or if you need to find ways to reward your best workers. From recruitment to termination, VSAG has the background to help make all transitions easier on the business.

Product Development & Launch

Hospitality businesses are finding products as a great way to increase guest interest and to create a new revenue stream. VSAG has launched products for chefs, restaurants and hotels as a way to differentiate their services, and we can offer you our expertise as you move toward launching your new product.
