Food costs and purchasing
Review current recipe assumptions, supplier invoices, stock-count methods and waste records. Separate purchasing from consumption and identify where missing information prevents a useful comparison.

WHO THIS HELPS
Your restaurant in Qatar. Advice built around how it runs.
If food costs are difficult to explain, shifts depend on constant owner intervention, or each manager follows a different routine, start with the operation behind the numbers. We review the information you have and agree which issues deserve attention first.
My background includes hands-on restaurant and food and beverage management in Canada and the Gulf. That experience informs the questions I ask; it is not a claim of a Qatar office or a substitute for understanding your own restaurant, team and records.
All work is delivered remotely. You describe the operation and share agreed records securely; your team implements changes in the restaurant. Scope, deliverables, timing and fees are confirmed in writing before work begins.
THE REVIEW IN PRACTICE
What we can work through.
The final scope is tailored to your restaurant and agreed before work begins.
Labour planning and cost visibility
Review schedules against your trading pattern, service needs and role coverage. Establish what your business includes in its labour figures before interpreting a percentage or comparing periods. This is operational advice, not Qatar payroll or employment-law advice.
Team routines and responsibilities
Work through opening, closing, handovers, receiving and manager follow-up. Agree clear ownership and concise checklists that your managers can test during actual shifts.
Consistency across locations
For small groups, compare reporting periods and definitions before comparing outlets. Agree which routines should be shared, what needs to reflect each venue and how managers report unresolved issues.
CANADA TO QATAR, REMOTELY
How we work together.
A clear process, with meeting times and information sharing agreed in advance.
- 01
Start with a short enquiry
Tell me your restaurant is in Qatar, how many locations you operate and the issue you want to understand. No confidential reports are needed in the website form.
- 02
Agree the scope and meeting times
We discuss whether remote support fits, which records are relevant, the deliverables and the fee. Meeting times are agreed with your Qatar-based team before booking.
- 03
Review records and discuss the operation
Share only the agreed information through a secure method. Online or phone discussions connect the reports with the routines your managers describe.
- 04
Receive priorities and decide what comes next
Receive the agreed written findings and action plan, reviewed together in a remote meeting. Any implementation support or ongoing advisory is separately scoped; it is not automatic.
BEFORE WE START
Know what to expect.
Scope, timing and fee agreed in writing. No payment or commitment through the website.
What to prepare
A short description of your concept and location in Qatar, the number of outlets, your main operational concern, and a list of the sales, labour, purchasing or stock reports you currently keep. Detailed records are requested only after we agree what is relevant and how to share them.
Do not upload confidential financial documents, employee information or passwords through the enquiry form. We agree a secure way to share relevant records later.
What you receive
- A written summary of the agreed review, evidence and limitations.
- Prioritised recommendations covering the operational issues within scope.
- A practical action plan and an online or phone findings meeting.
- Implementation reviews only where expressly included in the written engagement.
Scope and limitations
This is Canada-based remote consulting, not an on-site inspection, physical stocktake, assurance audit or Qatar compliance certification. I cannot independently observe service or verify stock. Accounting, tax, payroll, legal advice, licensing and food-safety certification are outside scope; use appropriately qualified local advisers for those matters.
Recommendations are advisory. Decisions stay with you, and savings or profit outcomes are not guaranteed.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Before you enquire.
Are you based in Qatar?
No. Sharma Ops Advisory is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This service is for restaurant owners in Qatar who want advice delivered online or by phone. There is no Qatar office or in-person service included.
Can you help a restaurant in Doha without visiting?
We can discuss a remote review using agreed records and conversations with you or your managers. Whether that is suitable depends on the issue. I will be clear about what cannot be independently observed or verified remotely, and an enquiry does not guarantee acceptance of an engagement.
Can you work around our operating hours?
We agree suitable meeting times with your Qatar-based team before confirming a booking. No fixed availability or round-the-clock support is promised.
Which engagement should I choose?
A Restaurant Cost Audit can provide a focused starting point. A 30-Day Profit Improvement Project or Monthly Operations Advisory may suit separately agreed implementation or ongoing review needs. We discuss fit, scope and fees before you commit.
Do I need to send financial reports with my enquiry?
No. Start with a short overview and keep employee information, financial documents and passwords out of the form. If we proceed, we agree which records are needed, who can access them and a secure sharing method.
Can you guarantee a lower food cost or higher profit?
No. Recommendations depend on the quality of the information available and on implementation in your restaurant. No universal cost target, savings amount or profit outcome is promised.
START WITH A CONVERSATION
Tell me what is happening
in your restaurant.
