Engagement Type Estimated Cost

• Hourly Consulting (for advice, troubleshooting, coaching)~$100 – $300/hour is likely typical, depending on consultant experience and the complexity of the work.

• Project-Based (One-Time) (e.g., new bar launch, menu redesign, operations setup)~$5,000 – $20,000+ for a full consulting project is very plausible, especially for a bar of moderate size. (This aligns with broader bar-consultant benchmarks.)

• Ongoing / Retainer~$1,000 – $5,000/month, depending on how much ongoing work (strategy, training, operations) you need.
