Restaurant, Lounge & Bar Experience
Our experience in the food service industry, either as consultants, entrepreneurs, or employees in the industry, includes the following:

Why Choose Cayenne? Nine Great Reasons!
Get Investors To Notice
Most entrepreneurs can’t get investors to
return their calls. A majority of our clients secure meetings with potential funders. Our team’s efforts have contributed to over $4.3 billion in financing!
Get it Right the First Time
Funding is a binary event: either you succeed or you fail. If you fail, most investors won’t give you a second chance. Learn about the pros and cons of various approaches to developing business plans.
No Salespeople
Deal directly with your senior business plan consultant from Day One – not a commissioned salesperson who will hand you off to a junior writer. Personal relationships matter, and you need to know exactly who you’re dealing with.
Fully Customized
Some business plan writers charge extremely low fees because they have a cookie-cutter, assembly-line approach. You get what you pay for. We work from scratch to represent your unique vision, not somebody else’s.
Avoid Costly Mistakes
We know what works, and, more importantly, what doesn’t. A single mistake can get render your plan unfundable. We wrote the original and often-cited article on Why Business Plans Don’t Get Funded.
Work With True Experts
We’ve walked in your shoes and we understand what you’re going through. Many of us have advanced degrees from institutions like Harvard, Wharton, Berkeley, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, and Chicago.
Save Money - Really!
We’re not cheap, but about half of our clients came to us after a business plan prepared by a less qualified business plan consultant did not work out. Why not get it right the first time and save money?
Develop a Winning Strategy
Most so-called “business plan consultants” take whatever you tell them and type it into software. We go much deeper and help develop a viable strategy for success, which we then express in a compelling business plan.
Ongoing Support
We don’t stop when the business plan is complete. We have a talented team ready to help you implement it as well, either on a retained basis as interim members of your founding team or on a project basis, as needed.
