Diakhite & Company
London Restaurants & Cafes

We find the profit
hiding in your
own numbers.

Most independent restaurants in London are losing money to food cost drift, labour inefficiency and pricing gaps buried in the P&L. We find them in 48 hours.

A leak never fixes itself. Every month it runs it costs you more, and most owners never know it's there.
All 12 key metrics analysed

Human-reviewed, not AI-only
★ If we can't find 3 opportunities, you don't pay. Guaranteed.

Founder, Diakhite & Company
I go through your numbers line by line, check them against UK hospitality benchmarks, and show you which decisions are costing you cash. Then I turn that into a plain-English action plan you can start on the same day. I review every audit myself before it goes out.

What a profit leak audit reveals

The following are illustrative examples showing the type of findings a typical audit uncovers. Business names are fictional. Real client results will be published here with permission.

Example Analysis
Restaurant, East London
Independent Restaurant  ·  40 covers
+£5,400/mo
Prime cost running at 74% against a 65% benchmark: £2,688/month in recoverable margin across labour and food cost.
Occupancy cost at 16.9% of revenue. Adding a Tuesday lunch service would cover the gap with minimal extra labour.
Cash buffer at 0.58x, flagged for immediate attention before it became a cash crisis.

Testimonial from a real client coming soon. Our first audits are underway and results will be published here with permission.

Example Analysis
Cafe, North London
Independent Cafe  ·  Coffee shop
+£2,100/mo
Labour at 46% of revenue, above the 35 to 45% cafe benchmark. A rota restructure on Tuesday to Thursday afternoons recovered £980/month.
Drink sales at 60% of revenue is healthy, but a 10% coffee cost left room to renegotiate supplier terms.
Break-even at £5,716/month against revenue of £18,400. One quiet week can still wipe out a month's profit.

Testimonial from a real client coming soon. Our first audits are underway and results will be published here with permission.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Is my financial data safe?
Here is exactly what happens: (1) You request an audit. (2) We send you a confidentiality agreement signed by Fodé Diakhite Bayo personally, before you share anything. (3) You send your P&L. (4) Only Fodé sees your documents. No assistants, no third parties. (5) Your report is delivered within 48 hours. (6) Your documents are permanently deleted within 14 days. Your P&L never leaves our hands.
How is this different from my accountant?
Your accountant ensures your filings are correct. That’s not the same as telling you where your profit is going each month. We focus exclusively on operational advisory: prime cost, labour efficiency, cash flow, and identifying where profit is leaking. We’re complementary to your accountant, not a replacement.
What if I don’t use accounting software?
No problem. If you don’t have Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent, we can work from seven basic figures you already know: revenue, food cost, labour, rent, rates, utilities, and covers. We’ll send you a simple form to fill in.
What exactly do I receive?
A full written audit report covering all 12 metrics, your top 3 profit leaks with monthly cost estimates, your top 3 opportunities with potential impact, a prioritised action plan for this week, this month, and next month, plus UK compliance flags. Delivered as a branded PDF within 48 hours.
What’s the guarantee?
If we can’t find at least three actionable profit opportunities or risks in your numbers, you don’t pay for your first audit. That isn’t a marketing line. We have yet to look at a hospitality P&L without finding meaningful opportunities.
How do I get started?
Run the free assessment above to see a preview of what your numbers look like, then book a free discovery call to request your full 48-hour audit. We’ll send you the confidentiality agreement and a P&L export guide within a few hours.
Why Diakhite & Company

The space your accountant doesn’t cover

Your accountant ensures your filings are correct. That is not the same as telling you where your profit is going every month. We work in the gap between compliance and operations, where most independent owners have no one watching this for them.

We specialise exclusively in London hospitality. Our benchmarks, metrics and recommendations are built for independent restaurants and cafes, not generic small-business advice.

Fodé Diakhite Bayo, Founder
Founding client offer: our first five clients receive the full written audit at £300 instead of £500, in exchange for an honest testimonial we can publish here. When the five places are gone, they are gone.
£300 founding rate. 5 places only.

Until then, judge us on the guarantee: if the audit can't find at least three actionable profit opportunities or risks in your numbers, you don't pay. The risk sits with us, not you.
