“Turn your QSR into a
fast, efficient, high-margin operation that sells for top value.”

Quick-service concepts battle thin margins, peak-hour bottlenecks, delivery app fees, and staffing challenges. Without tight systems, it’s hard to scale or command a premium at exit. Exit Factor helps you engineer menus and pricing, improve throughput and labor utilization, and introduce recurring revenue so your restaurant runs smoothly—and is worth more when you’re ready to sell.

Annual growth

4.6%

Annual growth is projected in the QSR segment, driven by digital ordering, drive-thru expansion, and off-premise demand.

QSR Success in Action

QSR Success in Action

We’ve helped QSR business owners across the country achieve their goals, whether scaling for growth or preparing for sale.

Challenge

A single-unit QSR relied on the owner for scheduling, vendor ordering, and quality control. Inconsistent lunch traffic, high food waste, and thin labor margins capped profits.

Result

“After partnering with Exit Factor, they launched online pre-orders and office catering, standardized portions and pricing, and optimized shift blocks. Ticket times dropped by 20%, food cost variance improved by 3.2 points, profits rose 19%, and the business positioned for a premium sale within 12 months.”
