What Foodpro Restaurant Consulting does

Foodpro Restaurant Consulting is an operations-focused food service consulting firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Lago Vista, Texas (near Austin). The firm serves independent restaurants, small independently owned franchises, bars and nightclubs, and hotels and resorts, primarily across Texas and the broader US market. Its core function is to improve client profits through hands-on engagements spanning startup conceptualization, operational optimization, financial analysis, and turnaround situations across fast food, fast casual, casual themed, and fine dining formats.

The firm's offering combines a proprietary content library with project-based consulting services. Core intellectual property includes the Legendary Service Training Manual, Front-of-House and Back-of-House Operations Manuals, Management Training Modules, and a proprietary set of over 100 restaurant financial ratios used for benchmarking and daily control. Adjacent service lines cover menu engineering and pricing, labor cost control, bar management and theft prevention, POS technology selection across 100+ vendors, fraud detection, business planning and feasibility studies, marketing and branding, compliance inspections, mystery shopping, and restaurant rescue/turnaround consulting. Differentiated methodologies include the "Beat Yesterday" daily sales projection process and a 20-minute daily profit calculation workflow.

Foodpro operates as a privately held professional services practice with quote-based, engagement-by-engagement pricing, no publicly disclosed rates, and flexible payment plans. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, sourced through a website contact form, phone, and email, with free estimates and free initial consultations used as demand-generation levers. Demand-side credibility is anchored by Better Business Bureau accreditation, Texas Restaurant Association membership, and a referral relationship with Le-Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Academy. The firm has no outside investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; it is led by President/CEO Henry Dominguez and VP/Director of Marketing Kathy L. Dominguez, with additional staff including Craig Gatewood.
