- 5x Return Guarantee
- Benchmarked against the market
- Measurable commercial outcomes
Large groups have a commercial team. Independents rarely do.
It is not a question of ability, but of resource. The roles below sit behind every large hotel group and restaurant chain, and account for a meaningful part of the difference in profitability.
Commercial Director
Someone whose sole focus is the commercial performance of the business.
Revenue Manager
Pricing, yield and demand managed deliberately rather than by habit.
Procurement Team
Supply agreements tested, tendered and renegotiated on a schedule.
Commercial Analyst
The numbers interrogated properly, every week, not once a year.
Profit Clinic gives independent operators access to that level of commercial expertise. We become the commercial partner focused on one thing: increasing profitability.

The Commercial Growth Blueprint
Your commercial operating plan for the next twelve months. Not a summary of findings, but a sequenced plan of what to do, in what order, and what each move is worth to the business.
It opens with an executive summary and quick wins, then sets out a 90-day action plan and a 12-month implementation roadmap.

Alex, Founder of Profit Clinic
I've spent the last decade inside hospitality, running, operating and improving pubs, restaurants and hotels. I started Profit Clinic because independent operators are competing against groups with entire commercial departments behind them, and almost never have the same firepower.
The Commercial Review is the answer to that. Forty-five days of commercial attention on one business, ending in a plan the owner can actually act on. The recommendations you receive are the ones I would act on if it were my business.
I work with a small number of operators at a time, and every engagement is treated in strict confidence.
