Management and services for restaurateurs

Your restaurant, complete.

More guests who choose you, guests who come back, a kitchen and a dining room that run even without you. The method of a restaurateur with twenty years of experience, built to grow your restaurant’s revenue.

Kitchen and dining room

A method for every service.

Clear procedures, roles and timings from mise en place to closing. Dishes leave the kitchen on time and the floor runs smoothly, even when you are not there.

Numbers

What you really keep.

Many restaurateurs only find out at year end whether they made or lost money. With us you know every month, in euros, and you know where the money goes: the supplier, the dish, the shift.

Staff

The right team, every service.

Recruitment, rotas built on real covers and written procedures. Less chaos on busy days, fewer people leaving.

Guests

New guests, returning guests.

Getting found and chosen on Google and social media, looking after your reputation, bringing back those who have already been and getting them to bring a friend.

To get started

Two free offers, no strings attached

Before asking you for anything, we show you how we work. Pick one, or both.

Your restaurant check-up

We look at your restaurant through the eyes of someone searching for a place to eat: Google, reviews, website, social media and bookings. We tell you what works and what is costing you guests today. You don’t need to send us anything.

  • Reviews: how many you get, what guests keep saying and how you reply
  • Visibility: how you appear on Google and booking platforms compared with nearby restaurants
  • Consistency: the same opening hours, menu, photos and contacts on every channel
  • Up-to-date information: menu, prices and notices on your website and social media

Half an hour with the founder

No salesperson will call you. On a video call you speak directly with the person who founded Completo after twenty years owning three restaurants. You leave with concrete ideas, even if you decide not to work with us.

  • On the other side is someone who has lived your problems
  • We start from what weighs on you most: numbers, staff, service or guests
  • We tell you frankly whether and how we can help
  • From your phone or computer, at a time that suits you

More guests, more revenue

Our work is measured in covers and in euros

A well-reviewed restaurant that is easy to find and consistent across every channel gets more people through the door. A well-built menu makes them happy to spend. A guest who is looked after comes back. We work on these three levers together: that is how revenue grows.

Covers × average spend × return visits = your restaurant’s revenue

    More covers

    We get you found and chosen: a well-kept Google profile, reviews with replies, real photos, the same menu and hours everywhere, booking one tap away. Whoever searches for you today should choose you, not scroll past.

    Higher average spend

    We calculate what each dish earns and build the menu to highlight the right ones. Your floor team learns to suggest the starter, the glass of wine, the dessert. Guests spend more and leave happy.

    Guests who come back

    We collect contacts with consent, invite guests back on the right occasions and organise word of mouth with a reward for those who bring a friend. Every month you see how many came back.

Everyday problems

We know them because we lived them

These are the problems that keep restaurant owners awake at night. For each one, here is what we do.

  • Service is chaotic and everything depends on you

    What we doWe bring a working method to kitchen and floor: clear roles, mise en place, dish timings, communication between floor and kitchen, written opening and closing routines. The restaurant runs even when you are not there.

    Kitchen and dining room
  • You don’t know whether you made or lost money this month

    What we doEvery month we give you your restaurant’s numbers in euros: takings, food, staff, fixed costs and what is left. And we tell you where the money goes: the supplier who raised prices, the dish that doesn’t pay, the shift you didn’t need.

    Management control
  • Your prices haven’t changed in years

    What we doWe cost every dish, see which ones sell and which ones earn, and build with you a menu and prices that hold up.

    Menu and pricing
  • Staff come and go

    What we doWell-written job ads, first screening of CVs, rotas based on real covers and written procedures, so new starters know what to do from day one.

    Staff
  • People search for you, but choose someone else

    What we doGoogle, social media and reviews managed as one job. Whoever searches for you finds a lively place, with real photos and timely replies, and criticism becomes changes on the floor, not just replies.

    Guests and reputation
  • Guests come once and never return

    What we doWe collect guests’ contacts with their consent, invite them back on the right occasions and organise word of mouth, with a reward for those who bring a friend. Every month you see how many come back.

    Guests and reputation
  • Payroll, HACCP, safety: too much paperwork

    What we doWe put you in touch with a trusted accountant, payroll consultant and safety specialist, and we keep track of deadlines and documents.

    Partner professionals

A team for every area

Many people work behind Completo

Consultants, training chefs, front-of-house professionals, photographers, social media managers and partner professionals: each in their own area, coordinated by the founder. You talk to one person, but a whole team works on your restaurant.

How we work

Three steps, no surprises

Before we start, you know what we will do, what we need from you and what it costs.

  1. We get to know each other

    A free half hour with the founder and your restaurant check-up: how guests see you today on Google, reviews, website and social media.

  2. A tailored plan

    You choose where to start. We send you in writing the activities, the timing and the monthly or project cost.

  3. The founder always by your side

    From day one you always talk to the same person: the founder follows your restaurant and presents the results to you. You keep running your restaurant.

About us

We did your job for twenty years

Behind Completo there is a restaurateur, not a marketing agency. Our founder spent twenty years as an owner: he opened restaurants from scratch, built menus and price lists, negotiated with suppliers and led teams of up to forty people across kitchen, floor, bar and events. And every month he read the profit and loss knowing the money at stake was his own.

Completo brings that method to your restaurant, with specialists and partner professionals for every area: numbers, kitchen and floor, staff, guests. And on the other side you always find him, someone who knows restaurants from the inside.

Staff recruitment

We help you find staff, and keep them

Cooks, pizza chefs, waiters, bartenders: we support you through the whole search, from the job ad to the trial shift, with the eye of someone who has led teams of up to forty people. The hiring decision is yours.

  • Cooks and chefs
  • Commis and kitchen assistants
  • Pizza chefs
  • Waiters and chefs de rang
  • Restaurant managers
  • Baristas and bartenders
  • Kitchen porters and cleaners
  • Event and banqueting staff
  1. The right profileBefore searching, we define with you the role, hours, skills, contract and a salary that is realistic for the area. A vague ad attracts the wrong candidates.
  2. Job ads that workWe write a clear, honest ad and post it on the channels where hospitality staff actually look for work.
  3. First screeningWe read the CVs and make the first phone call ourselves: availability, experience, expectations. You only meet candidates who make sense.
  4. Interview and trialWe prepare the interview questions and a structured trial shift, so you see how the person works before deciding.
  5. OnboardingJob description, procedures and a handbook for new starters: whoever joins knows what to do from day one. That is where you decide whether they will stay.

  1. Reviews listened toThe restaurant replies to reviews and brings what guests report to the floor and kitchen.
  2. Accurate informationOpening hours, menu, prices and contacts are the same on Google, website, social media and booking platforms.
  3. Consistent dishesEvery dish has its recipe card: same portions and same quality, whatever the day.
  4. A trained teamClear roles, written procedures and trained staff in the kitchen and on the floor.
  5. Numbers under controlThe owner knows every month how the restaurant is doing: a healthy restaurant is one that lasts.

Frequently asked questions

Before we talk

The questions restaurateurs ask us most often. For everything else, there is the free video call.

Who will I talk to?

The founder of Completo, who ran his own restaurants for twenty years. Not a salesperson or a call centre. And he will be the one following you afterwards, if you decide to work with us.

How much does it cost to work with you?

It depends on the services you choose and the size of your restaurant. The check-up and the 30-minute video call are free; after that, we send you the activities, timing and cost in writing before starting any work.

Do I need to take all the services?

No. You can start with a single service, for example management control or the menu, and add others when you need them. You always talk to the founder.

How can you work if you are not on site?

Most of the work is done remotely: data, documents, reviews, social media, procedures and video calls. For photos, video and site visits we work with partner professionals on the ground.

Which areas do you cover?

We start from the Milan area and Lombardy. Remote services are available throughout Italy.

Do I have to fill in spreadsheets or use new software?

No. We work with what you already have: e-invoices, takings, menus, photos from your phone. We collect the data ourselves, in agreement with you and your accountant.

What happens to my data and my numbers?

They stay confidential. We use them only for the work you entrust to us, as explained in the privacy policy, and we never share them without your consent.
