Built for operators who are done
managing by gut feel.

  • ✓You're running one or more locations and labor keeps winning
  • ✓You measure labor as % of sales and it's still not moving
  • ✓You know there's money in the model — you just can't find it
  • ✓You want a real system, not another spreadsheet
  • ✓You're scaling and the same problems keep appearing at every new location
Not the right fit if
  • ×You're pre-revenue or still in concept stage
  • ×You're looking for someone to manage your staff for you
  • ×You want a report but aren't ready to act on it
  • ×You believe the problem is your team, not your systems

Why Jim Taylor

He's reviewed more restaurant P&Ls than most operators see in a lifetime.

Jim built Benchmark Sixty after spending years on both sides of the restaurant P&L — as an operator and as the person other operators called when the margins wouldn't move.

The problem was almost always the same. Operators were measuring labor as a percentage of sales — which tells you how big your payroll is relative to revenue. It doesn't tell you whether your team is productive. That gap is where the profit disappears.

He has advised 400+ restaurant operations across North America, Australia, and Europe, speaks at Restaurants Canada's annual RC Show, and has written two books on the methodology behind Benchmark Sixty.

What operators say

From people running real restaurant businesses.

"

Jim helped us rethink how we look at labor entirely. Learning to track based on productivity versus a percent transforms how you forecast scheduling and monitor management effectiveness. I highly recommend Jim to any operator looking to set up best labor practices.

Bruce NelsonCFO, Nova Restaurant Group
"

Benchmark Sixty was the most important member of our change management team. Without their experience and ability to engage other leaders, the new productivity metrics would have been useless. In under a year they transformed our entire labor model — reducing cost and improving schedule performance.

Derek SmithHead of Business Intelligence, Warehouse Group Inc.
"

Jim is a first-rate operator. His experience at all levels is a great asset for any growing company looking for an outside opinion. His knowledge in the labor sector is so beneficial. It is a pleasure to work with Jim and I look forward to maintaining this connection for years.
