FAQs: The straight-talk version

  • Q: What makes Mischlich Consulting different?

    We aren't just "advisors." We’re an implementation partner. We combine high-level strategy with hands-on execution. Our success is tied directly to your growth; we don't just tell you what to do, we build the systems and handle the sales to make sure it happens.

  • Q: What types of venues do you work with?

    We focus on independent restaurants and hospitality groups with the potential for high-end events. Whether you have a dedicated private room, a semi-private patio, or a space perfect for full buyouts, we help you unlock the revenue you're currently leaving on the table.

  • Q: What size group is the best fit?

    We generally work with venues or groups doing between $3M and $30M in annual revenue. The key is capacity: if you have space that can be sold for high-margin group dining or private events, we can help you maximize its value.

  • Q: Can you work with historic buildings or tight spaces?

    Absolutely. We specialize in turning "difficult" layouts or restricted spaces into exclusive, high-value selling points. We don’t let a tricky floor plan stop you from commanding a premium.

  • Q: Can you help if our event program is underperforming?

    That’s our starting point for most clients. Usually, programs stall because of "gut-feel" pricing or a lack of follow-up. We step in, simplify your packages, and fix your pricing so you see a move in your bottom line almost immediately.

  • Q: What is your main goal when you partner with us?

    To turn your event program from a logistical headache into a predictable, high-margin revenue engine. We focus on three things: increasing your pricing power, raising the average check, and boosting your overall Net Operating Income (NOI).

  • Q: How involved does my team need to be?

    You set the goals and the vision; we handle the heavy lifting. If we’re doing Embedded Sales, we act as your team, managing the inquiries and closing the deals so you and your GMs can stay focused on the floor.

  • Q: Do we have to buy new software?

    No. We’re platform-agnostic. Whether you use Tripleseat, Perfect Venue, or something else, we work with what you have to make sure it’s actually supporting the sales strategy, not just holding data.

  • Q: How quickly will we see results?

    While we’re building for long-term growth, most of our clients see a measurable jump in average check size and revenue within the first 60 days of us fixing their pricing and packaging.

  • Q: How do your fees work?

    We believe in a true partnership. We typically use a blended structure: a monthly retainer for the strategy and systems, plus a performance-based fee on closed sales. This ensures we are just as invested in your growth as you are.

  • Q: How do we get started?

    Shoot us an email. We will schedule a meeting to speak with leadership, walk the venue and discuss your operations.
