We have run restaurants.
Now we build the tools we wished we had.
Viking Restaurant Consultants is a restaurant consulting company. Our tools were built from twenty-five years in the field, to solve the everyday problems that experience turned up — not from a product roadmap.
Our Mission
To stand beside restaurant owners as warriors, protectors, and guides — bringing strength, knowledge, and unwavering support to help their businesses thrive.
Chains run on daily figures and dedicated analysts. Independents run on a statement that arrives six weeks late, by which point the month it describes is beyond fixing. That gap is not a talent gap and it is not an effort gap. It is a tooling gap, and it is the one thing about this industry we are equipped to close.

Our Products
What we have built
A spreadsheet you run yourself, a platform that runs itself, and a tool for the way this trade is actually taught now. Different problems, one habit of mind.
Odin's Almanac
Restaurant operations software that unifies food safety, financial reporting and ordering. Built for operators who would rather the invoices, the sales data and the labor hours arrived on the statement without anybody keying them in.
P&L Workbooks
Three profit and loss workbooks — restaurants, bars and breweries, and food trucks and catering. Prime cost, break-even and industry benchmarks calculated the moment you type a month in. No subscription and no account.
ClipSifter
Video is how most people actually learn a trade now, and it is close to unsearchable. ClipSifter finds the timestamped answer inside a tutorial instead of handing you a forty minute video and wishing you luck.
Leadership
William Huffstetler
Founder
Twenty-five years of restaurant management, and a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Georgia Southern University. The kind of experience that comes from covering a shift short-staffed, not from reading about it.
The software came later, and it came out of frustration. Watching good operators make decisions on numbers that were weeks old, he taught himself to build the tools that would have made those weeks unnecessary.
Tell us what is going wrong
Consulting engagements, questions about the workbooks, or a look at the platform. If you are not sure which of those you need, describe the problem and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
