“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 knowing which nights pay and pricing every one of them properly. Jedburgh has the A68 passing trade, Jed-Forest rugby crowds in season, and the Callant's Festival summer, but the backbone is local regulars on quiet weeknights. The Profit Clarity Framework™ prices your menu so the busy nights bank profit and the quiet ones still cover their costs.
Yes, when the margins are watched. Jedburgh's size means a loyal, repeat local trade with less competition than the bigger Borders towns, plus visitors from the Abbey and the A68 all summer. UK takeaways typically keep 6% to 12% net, and which end of that range you sit at comes down to portion costs, pricing and waste rather than footfall.
Start with business rates: Scotland's Small Business Bonus Scheme gives 100% relief on premises with a rateable value up to £12,000, which covers many Jedburgh takeaways, with tapered relief above that. Then look inside the business: portion costs, supplier prices and delivery platform fees usually hide more money than the rates bill.
£1,495 + VAT, fixed. That covers the full 30-day diagnose-and-fix process on your Jedburgh takeaway: menu pricing, portion costs, platform fees, 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, that's what it's built for. You stay on the fryers and the counter; we work around service. 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 platform statements if you deliver, 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.
