Are you feeling frustrated that you're busy every night but the profit still isn't there?
You are full, the team is flat out and the bank balance still doesn't reflect it. The money is usually leaking somewhere quiet.
Are you ready to improve your profitability in the next 45 days?
The 45‑Day Commercial Review
We identify the hidden profit opportunities within your hospitality business and deliver a commercial blueprint designed to increase profitability.
You come straight through to me, not a call centre.

A second set of eyes
So you can focus on service
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.
Profit Clinic gives independent operators access to that level of commercial expertise, focused on one thing: increasing 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.
Three steps, starting with no cost
Free Profit Discovery
A complimentary commercial review designed to identify several immediate opportunities to improve profitability. An initial business review, three commercial observations, an estimated opportunity value and a short review meeting.
The 45-Day Commercial Review
Forty-five days spent inside your business, its market and its operation. It ends with the Commercial Growth Blueprint: a costed, prioritised plan for the next twelve months.
Beyond the Review
Over time, clients may gain access to commercial benchmarking, market intelligence, a preferred supplier network, collective buying power and ongoing commercial support.

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.
Frequently asked
What is the free Profit Discovery?
A complimentary commercial review of your business. We look at your top line, your margins and your position in the local market, then share three commercial observations and an estimated value of the opportunity we can see. It ends with a short review meeting. There is no cost and no obligation.
What is the 45-Day Commercial Review?
Our flagship engagement. Over 45 days we complete an in-depth commercial review of your business, its market and its operation. It includes time on site, management interviews, a mystery shop, competitor benchmarking and full commercial analysis. It concludes with your Commercial Growth Blueprint.
What do I actually receive at the end?
The Commercial Growth Blueprint: your commercial operating plan for the next twelve months. Every recommendation carries an estimated financial impact, a priority, a difficulty rating, a cost to implement, an expected return and a suggested timeline. It also includes an executive summary, quick wins, a 90-day action plan and a 12-month roadmap.
How does the 5x Return Guarantee work?
If the Commercial Review doesn't identify commercial opportunities with an estimated annual value of at least five times our fee, we refund the cost of the review. We are confident because we only take on businesses where we can already see the opportunity from the Discovery stage.
What does it cost?
Investment depends on the size and complexity of the business. We discuss it after your free Profit Discovery, once we both understand the scale of the opportunity. Every engagement is quoted in writing in advance.
Who do you work with?
Established independent hospitality businesses. Independent and boutique hotels, gastro pubs, restaurants, small and multi-site groups, caravan sites and holiday parks. We are not the right fit for early-stage start-ups.
Do I have to work with you after the review?
No. The blueprint is yours. Implement it with your own team, hand it to your existing advisors, or ask us to work alongside you. Many clients choose to continue, but nothing about the review depends on it.
Will you disrupt the business or unsettle the team?
No. We work discreetly and confidentially. Time on site is arranged around your operation, and nothing is discussed with your team, suppliers or customers without your agreement.
