“From the first call, Steve at Carlton Scott understood our goals and delivered clear, practical support that made a real difference to our business."
From stuck to profitability. In 30 days
Most small business owners aren't failing, they're stuck. Stuck in the day-to-day, stuck in the same margins, stuck wondering why a busy business isn't paying them what it should.
By pricing for volume without giving the margin away. Galashiels has Borders College and Heriot-Watt's textiles campus on its doorstep, the Great Tapestry visitors by day, and the biggest evening delivery trade in the Borders. Deals and meal bundles win students, but only if each one is costed by portion. That's exactly what the Profit Clarity Framework™ puts numbers on.
Yes: it's the busiest takeaway town in the Borders, with students, shoppers and the Borders Railway bringing steady trade. It's also the most competitive, so the winners are the shops that know their numbers. UK takeaways typically net 6% to 12%, and in a competitive town the difference is made on portion costs and pricing discipline, not on being busiest.
They bring orders, at a price: platforms charge around 30% commission on orders they deliver, or 13% to 14% where you deliver yourself. In a delivery town like Galashiels that mix decides your margin. The framework puts your own-channel, collection and platform orders side by side so you keep the orders that pay and rethink the ones that don't.
£1,495 + VAT, fixed. That covers the full 30-day diagnose-and-fix process on your Galashiels takeaway: menu pricing, portion costs, platform mix, rotas and cash flow, with the changes implemented rather than left in a report. Most clients who commit to the framework and follow our recommendations see a full return on the fee within 90 days.
Yes. You stay on service; we work around it. The onboarding call takes about an hour, gathering your paperwork takes another, and after that most of the effort is ours. A few hours a week from you, mostly at the start.
Honesty and your numbers. Normally that's six months of business bank statements, your menu and supplier costs, and your delivery platform statements, plus a one-hour onboarding call. From there we diagnose where your takeaway is losing profit and start fixing it with you.
They helped streamline our ordering process, reducing waste by 25%, and introduced a cost-effective local marketing strategy that boosted our weekend sales by 40%.
Staff rotas: we saved so much overspend on staffing costs, Carlton Scott knew exactly how to maximise this.
