CDM HOSPITALITY SOLUTIONS

Practical consulting for hospitality owners who need clarity and results.

ABOUT CDM HOSPITALITY SOLUTIONS

Chase works with restaurants, cafés, pubs, and hotel operators to review performance, strengthen systems, and build a clear plan for more profitable trading across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, and the Hunter Valley.

SERVICES

Support built around where 
your venue is right now.

New venues and established venues face different pressures. CDM offers two clear pathways, designed to meet the business at its current stage and move it forward with structure and momentum.

01

New Ventures

Strong openings come from preparation, not guesswork. Support covers concept development, menu creation and costing, systems and processes, staffing readiness, compliance essentials, and launch planning.

02

Business Turnarounds

Underperformance rarely has one cause. Chase reviews identity, operations, purchasing and costs, team performance, and service standards, then delivers a clear plan to stabilize the venue and lift results.

CHALLENGES CDM HELPS SOLVE

Common issues that quietly 
erode performance.

Opening before systems, processes, and team capability are ready

A concept that does not translate into a consistent guest experience

Owners working seven days and still feeling behind

Purchasing and costs drifting without visibility or control

Standards varying from shift to shift, creating inconsistency

Not establishing a structure that can be sustained over time

Hospitality venues rarely fall short because owners lack effort. Problems usually come from unclear identity, weak systems, cost pressure, and operations that rely on long hours instead of workable structure.

HOW CDM WORKS

Clear steps, flexible support

Every engagement starts with a structured review and a plan that makes sense for the venue. Support can stop at consult level or extend through implementation, depending on priorities and budget.

Consultation & review

A focused discussion and assessment to understand what is happening in the business and what success needs to look like next.

Strategy plan

A paid strategy session that reviews strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks, then delivers practical recommendations designed to lift performance and profitability.

Service level options

Services can be tailored to suit the venue, including:


- Consultation and strategy only, for owners who want clear direction
- Guided implementation, working alongside owners and management to apply changes
- Implementation support, where required, to establish systems and lift consistency across daily operations

CDM Hospitality Solutions exists because too many venues open with strong intention and limited structure, then lose momentum before the business finds its rhythm. Pressure builds quickly when identity is unclear, systems are weak, costs are not controlled, or staffing is underprepared.

​

Chase Mullen brings 23 years of hospitality experience across restaurants, cafes, pubs, and hotels, including international management roles and senior leadership positions. 

​

A direct, professional, hands on approach sits at the centre of the work, with clear communication across owners, management, and teams so improvements are understood and maintained.

​

The goal is straightforward: build a venue that trades with confidence, performs consistently, and supports more profitable outcomes.
 

Industries & Locations

Support spans restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars, hotels, and franchise or multi site operations, with work across Sydney, the Central Coast, Newcastle, and the Hunter Valley.
