National Restaurant Flagship

EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE TURNAROUND

MONEY

STRATEGY

CHALLENGE

A flagship restaurant for a national brand was losing sales over several years and generating barely enough free cash flow to cover investor tax liabilities. Declining top line threatened the business’s long-term viability.

APPROACH

ChurchillTerry designed a ground-up executive incentive and compensation plan aligning management with investor objectives. We re-set KPIs, tied pay to performance, and supported operational changes to enable revenue recovery.

CHALLENGE

  • Top-line sales grew year-over-year for four consecutive years.
  • Profitability rebounded rapidly, enabling cash distributions to investors in excess of 10% annual return.
  • Management remained engaged and aligned with long-term objectives.
