Ransomware, Cyberattacks and Cybermistakes (on your own website, on Online ordering & Social, Digital & Traditional media platforms and on store signage, exterior, front door, windows, cash register and elsewhere.)
While it’s 2021 and we are re-opening, we still see issues at small and medium businesses (SMB’s) and major national and international brands in failing to solidify and lock down IT systems, close off access points and making huge mistakes around branding, digital marketing, e-commerce, online ordering and customer experience (aka CJ or customer journey) including somewhat unbelieveably in, on and around brick and mortar stores.
We are strongly recommending SMB’s and major brands retain an independent, third party expert to review these areas. Why is this so important and urgent?
The damage can leave scars and become permanent. We’ve found these mistakes can and do expose your valuable and critical business information and assets to competitors, hackers, cybercriminals and the dark web (forever), can and do leave significant relationships and revenue streams untapped or at risk of total loss and can and do incur unnecessary and substantial costs.
These items are exposed right now as you are reading this post and need to be resolved immediately!
Unless resolved in the very near future, we can advise you that claims by partners, investors, shareholders, lenders (or denials of claims by insurers) around these shortfalls may arise. We are available to attorneys and law firms (as consulting or testifying expert), business owners, corporate executives, board members, landlords, receivers and insurance companies to identify problems and issues and rapidly implement and monitor remedial solutions.
Our solutions are uniquely MBG, since 2010. And let us be the first to talk about our fees. Our fees typically start in the low five figures (subject to my office approval, can be paid over several months) which when compared to the risks above or the total costs of or risks of losing a substantial part of one’s capital structure, funding or investment of time and money or an entity going out of business or entrapping owners for several years or the potential loss of confidence of partners or key employees or investors or bankers or lenders or insurors or vendors and suppliers while often providing six to nine figure (for national chains) upside reflect truly compelling value. We’ve found that some “business owners” have lost control or sight of the real difference between running a business and having a job. Thus, clients have found our perspectives helpful and our solutions to have a high ROI, rapid and easy breakeven and more importantly represent a solid, prudent investment.
You learned about us because you have our card right? What do we do? We 86 most restaurant headaches: such as mandatory CCPA compliance (took effect Jan 1, 2020, fines start at $2,500), YELP flags such as for alleged racist conduct, finding and negotiating the best platform deals and monitoring them, requesting payments from platforms, social media do’s and don’ts; how or should you use Google, Yelp, Facebook and other new, hot and shiny social media platforms? Incorrect days, hours, menus or unauthorized website or platform listings and or potential copyright and trademark infringements, employment, tax or workmens comp issues too; including employment manuals, policies and procedures, non – disclosure agreements (NDA’s) and severance packages. Lease reviews negotiation and re-negotiation; location scouting including sites not listed on the market.

We get you set up Online, get more online orders, Set up delivery, customer service plans, Yelp, Google, Facebook, landlord, insurance or tax or sales tax or health inspection and any Covid-related issues.
We have 45 years of restaurant, food-service, beverage and hospitality experience; we started in the back of the house in the 70’s, including over 35 years of Wall St sales, new products & services, financial and strategic management (where we were responsible for the nationwide and international real estate portfolio, designed a multi-billion-dollar compensation and employee benefits plan for over 12,000 employees, designed one of the first principal – protected securities, designed high net worth client accounts including account statements, cards, rewards and payments and designed exceptional reporting compliance, supervision and surveillance systems) and financial advisory and independent expert consulting experience.
We generate more orders, at the right time, at the right cost, more catering orders, more customers and more profits for your business. Since 2010, we’ve made it simple for 283 clients. How? We are the experts and only use what is effective which saves you from wasting your time and money because we know how to tell the difference from what only looks effective and sounds better but doesn’t work.
There are important NEW platforms, features and settings to take advantage of; if you act now we expect thousands of dollars in new orders, if you delay besides not getting new orders sooner, you’ll miss out on surge of re-opening orders and fall behind competitors because they are before you and they are getting the orders; not you.
There is one more important thing to point out. At some point, and this in our view is a when-not-if event. A major industry move (such as a merger, acquisition or new product, service or platform) will dramatcially shake-up the online ordering, delivery or payments space. And when (not if) that goes down, you can be prepared like OLO|Mix clients; ready to take advantage and benefit right away (or not, which means your business will be left standing and waiting in line for months).
Want to start making significant profits, need assistance or guidance with a business plan for financing or a loan application, PPP reporting and forgiveness or innovations to get your business back up and running smoothly?
We prefer to lean into the challenges and opportunities presented by the coronavirus; rather than react. What are these opportunities? When we work together you’ll find out.
