01 / TWO PATHS
Different problems. One operating mindset.
Some owners need help building the foundation before opening. Others already have the doors open but need help finding where the operation, menu, costs, systems, or strategy are breaking down.
Fixing an Existing Restaurant
For restaurants that are open but struggling with profitability, organization, menu costs, labor, systems, customer flow, technology, or growth.
02 / WHAT WE WORK ON
We look at the restaurant as one connected operation.
Marketing cannot fix broken food costs. A good menu cannot fix a bad service flow. New technology will not help if the operation is disorganized. Advisory means looking at the whole picture and prioritizing the next moves.
Permits & opening roadmap
Build a practical path through permits, inspections, health requirements, occupancy, equipment needs, and the steps between signing a location and opening the doors.
Infrastructure & equipment
Think through kitchen flow, utilities, equipment, service layout, grease, backflow, storage, and operational needs before they become expensive surprises.
Menu, food cost & pricing
Review portions, ingredient costs, pricing, margin, menu complexity, and which items are helping or hurting the business.
Operations & SOPs
Create repeatable processes for opening, closing, prep, service, ordering, cleaning, customer experience, and accountability.
Staffing & labor
Look at roles, scheduling, service flow, training, payroll considerations, and whether labor is aligned with sales.
POS, payments & technology
Choose systems that work together — POS, payments, online ordering, websites, payroll, reviews, and other restaurant technology.
Sales, marketing & direct orders
Connect the operation to visibility, offers, content, local marketing, direct ordering, customer retention, and practical ways to generate revenue.
Profitability & turnaround plan
Identify where money may be leaking, what needs to change first, and build a prioritized action plan around the restaurant's real numbers and operation.

03 / WHY 2VSIT
Advice shaped by running a restaurant ourselves.
Julio and Yami were part of the Doña Jacky journey in Waxahachie, growing from a 340-square-foot snack shop into a larger restaurant operation. The experience meant dealing firsthand with permits, inspections, staffing, pricing, food costs, operations, customer service, marketing, growth, and the constant decisions restaurant owners have to make. That experience now shapes how 2VSIT approaches restaurant advisory.
Read Our Story04 / HOW THE ENGAGEMENT WORKS
A focused 12-week restaurant advisory program.
We start with the business as it actually exists — or the concept you are preparing to open — then work through priorities in the order that makes sense instead of throwing generic recommendations at you.
Assess
Understand the concept, operation, numbers, pain points, timeline, and what is already in place.
Prioritize
Separate urgent problems from distractions and build the operating roadmap.
Implement
Work through permits, menu, costs, systems, SOPs, technology, staffing, marketing, or launch needs based on the plan.
Stabilize
Measure what changed, adjust the system, and leave the owner with clearer processes and next steps.
2VSIT provides operational and business advisory. Legal, tax, accounting, architectural, engineering, licensed trade, and government approvals must be handled by the appropriate licensed professional or authority.
05 / APPLY
Tell us what is happening with the restaurant.
This is not a generic contact form. Give us enough context to understand whether you are starting, fixing, or restructuring a restaurant and where you need the most help.
The goal is to understand the operation before recommending the solution.
