Restaurant

Labor and food cost pressures are prompting operators to reassess their models. With nearly 98% of establishments citing labor and food inflation as critical challenges, and delivery now accounting for over 40% of revenue, restaurants are adopting smarter pricing, kitchen automation, and streamlined menus to maintain margins and traffic.

Financial Advisory

The team from CMA provided support and thoughtful guidance before, during, and after the bankruptcy process, and played an important role in keeping the various constituents aligned around our goals. Their experience with restructuring and the restaurant sector was invaluable, especially as we managed through the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the Chapter 11 process.
