Diversifying the Portfolio: The Rodriguez Family’s "Recession-Proof" Strategy

The Client: A husband-and-wife team already owning three successful fast-casual restaurants.


The Challenge: They were "top-heavy" in food and worried about rising labor costs and changing consumer tastes. They wanted to expand their portfolio into a different industry to mitigate risk.


The Consultant’s Impact: The consultant used comparative research to show them the "B2B" and "Essential Services" sectors. They narrowed it down to a waste management franchise that shared many of the same backend operational needs as their restaurants but with fewer employees.


The Success: The Rodriguez family now owns a diversified portfolio. When restaurant sales dipped seasonally, their new service-based units provided a steady, recession-resistant cash flow.
