Founding Partner Programme

Help establish the restaurant industry’s independent performance benchmark

Benchmarking requires density. RMI is working with a defined group of restaurant operators to establish sufficient coverage in priority markets before wider release.

The proposition

Shape the standard you will be measured by

Founding Partners influence how restaurant performance is defined and reported: which measures are primary, how trading days are treated, how comp sets are constructed and what a credible sample looks like.

In return for early participation, partners receive preferential commercial terms and priority in market coverage decisions.

  1. 01

    Founding Partner status

    Recognised participation in establishing the benchmark, and standing on the reporting standards group.
  2. 02

    Preferential commercial terms

    Fixed founding terms retained beyond the network-building period.
  3. 03

    Early platform access

    Access to reporting as markets become eligible, ahead of general availability.
  4. 04

    Influence over reporting standards

    Direct input into definitions, comp-set rules and report design.
  5. 05

    Priority market coverage

    Recruitment effort directed at the markets in which the partner trades.
  6. 06

    Historical benchmark access

    Back-series benchmarking where sufficient historical data is contributed.
  7. 07

    Dedicated onboarding

    Assisted mapping of restaurants, trading definitions and submission process.
  8. 08

    Confidentiality review

    Finance, legal and data teams walked through validation and suppression rules before submission.

What participation involves

A weekly submission, not a project

Most partners begin with a single weekly file covering trading date, net revenue, covers and the food and beverage split. Integrations can follow once value is established.

RMI does not require access to your EPOS, your reservation system or your accounting ledger to begin.

Discuss Founding Partnership

Conversations typically begin with coverage in your markets, the data you can supply today, and the confidentiality framework applied before anything is submitted.
