LETS COLLABORATE
OUR KEY PILLARS.
Delivery Expansion - New Income Streams, Algorithmic adspend
As of 2024, the UK food delivery market is valued at approximately £3.8 billion, and it shows no signs of slowing down. By 2029, this figure is expected to surge to an impressive £63.75 billion, driven by evolving consumer habits, an appetite for convenience, and the rapid integration of technology into everyday dining experiences.
At FORKO, we recognise this as one of the most significant commercial opportunities available to hospitality businesses today. The delivery sector is no longer a bolt-on service — it’s a vital, revenue-generating channel that demands smart, strategic management to unlock its full potential.
Our approach focuses on increasing delivery revenue through data-led decision making and operational precision. We work with businesses to establish SMART KPIs that deliver actionable insights, ensuring every delivery operation is performing at its peak.
From identifying and integrating new aggregator partnerships to leveraging algorithm-led promotions that improve visibility and sales conversion, we tailor strategies to meet the unique demands of each venue and brand.
In a market this dynamic, standing still is falling behind. At FORKO, we don’t just help you compete — we position you to lead.
Cost Controls & Profit
Maximisation
Cost Controls & Profit Maximisation sit at the heart of every commercially successful hospitality business. At FORKO, we focus on what matters most — controlling your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and ensuring your operation is engineered for profitability from the ground up.
In a margin-sensitive market, even small inefficiencies in purchasing, pricing, and product strategy drain profit. We bring clarity to your cost base — identifying where value is being lost, where spend is disproportionate, and where untapped opportunity exists. It’s about making sure every product sold, every supplier deal agreed, and every operational decision works for your business, not against it.
A core part of this is SKU optimisation — simplifying product ranges, eliminating low performers, and prioritising lines that drive stronger margin and operational efficiency. We also tackle wastage control head-on, pinpointing where losses occur and implementing clear, measurable solutions to recover profit. Coupled with consistent, accurate recipe and prep implementation, we help businesses lock in control, protect margins, and deliver consistency without compromise.
We ensure every pound spent, every item sold, and every operational decision actively strengthens your bottom line. At FORKO, we turn profit protection into profit acceleration.
Labour Control - Scheduling,
Task Assessment
Labour is one of the two largest controllable costs in any hospitality business — and controlling labour means controlling your bottom line.
At FORKO, we believe effective labour management isn’t about cutting corners or sacrificing service; it’s about deploying your team with precision and purpose.
Our expertise lies in labour optimisation, helping operators refine how they plan, schedule, and deploy their teams to control labour spend through intelligent scheduling, task alignment, and operational refinement. We ensure your business is fully staffed and ready to capture every revenue opportunity when it matters most — and scaled back when demand doesn’t justify the spend. It’s about making sure you’re investing in people when you’re making money and adjusting when you’re not, maintaining the perfect balance between operational efficiency and exceptional service.
From rethinking shift patterns to streamlining workflows and reallocating responsibilities, we identify the gaps and opportunities others miss. The result is a dynamic, demand-led staffing model that protects profitability, strengthens margins, and keeps service standards consistently high.
At FORKO, labour control isn’t just a cost exercise — it’s a strategic tool for maximising revenue and safeguarding your business’s future.
Health Safety, Food Safety - Audits and Training
Health & Food Safety isn’t a box-ticking exercise — it’s a non-negotiable part of protecting your business, your people, and your reputation. At FORKO, we approach compliance with the same commercial mindset we apply to every other aspect of hospitality operations: it needs to be smart, consistent, and built to actively support your business.
We deliver clear, actionable audits and operational reviews that do more than highlight risks — they create a roadmap for improvement. From statutory compliance to brand standards and local authority expectations, we make sure your operation is protected at every level.
Through targeted training delivery and materials development, we help businesses raise awareness, sharpen operational behaviours, and embed a culture of safety and accountability. Whether it’s refreshing induction packs, conducting refresher sessions, or producing brand-aligned materials for teams and managers, we ensure your business stays ahead of its obligations and your people stay confident in their roles.
We also assist with certificate management, pest control compliance, and due diligence systems training to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. And when it comes to hygiene ratings and EHO visits, we position your business to perform at its best — with standards in place, risks controlled, and documentation ready. At FORKO, we don’t just keep you compliant — we help you turn compliance into confidence.
