Maryland-based firm, My Crown-Rio Foodservice Consulting, puts its money where its mouth is
Montgomery County menu and marketing consultancy provides 30-day free trial for its restaurant advisory and business growth services

WASHINGTON, D.C.(May 6, 2015) — My Crown-Rio Foodservice Consulting continues its 30-day free trial promotion of its menu and marketing advisory for independent restaurateurs through June 30, 2015. Restaurateurs in the Metro-Washington, D.C. area, including Suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia will have additional time to take advantage of the innovative, membership-based consultancy services. In high level of confidence in the preferred membership consulting program, My Crown-Rio Foodservice founder, Rick Zambrano, a menu trend analyst, content marketer, and entrepreneur has decided to put the highly-effective consulting program and vendor referral network to the test.
“It is exciting to provide restaurateurs the professional services they deserve, and it is even a rarity to offer the expertise free of charge for the first 30 days,” says Zambrano. “Beyond the processes and thinking that set us apart from legacy and traditional restaurant and foodservice marketing consultancies, our 30-day free trial puts our own money where our mouth is, as the saying goes, and shows trust in our expertise,” notes Zambrano.
My Crown-Rio Foodservice Preferred Membership is a consulting solution intended to help restaurants grow by providing in-person consultation, combined with access to a member hotline for menu and marketing support and a vendor referral network. The program includes quarterly consultations and five-day access to the hotline, combining it with powerful tools for client-members, including a comprehensive reputation report, a credit card processing review and a (included) menu design analysis.

Its premium service, Business Coach Gold™, adds a business coach, with additional managed services and customized solutions, and a highly successful track record.

“Through our Preferred Partner Program, we’ve imported Business Coach Gold, a successful coaching program that already delivers 8% to 10% comp sales, which is more than 4-percentage points higher than the national average, to existing clients,” adds Zambrano. “For the client-member restaurant with 2-million dollars in sales, it represents additional growth of about $80,000 dollars in revenue beyond what the average restaurant is experiencing at a national level. And that doesn’t take into account any additional savings that can be found through changes to processes, systems or food programs”
Preferred Membership is the program that client-members can take advantage without risk, commitment or payment for 30 days. These restaurant client-members can then upgrade to Platinum or Gold after the first 30 days, at which point billing starts, or they can stay with Preferred Membership for less than $200/month per location. It’s a win-win for restaurant owners and owner-operators.
