Most Consultants Hand You a Report and Leave. We Stay Until the Problem Is Solved.
On-Site Advisory Group provides operational assessments for facilities, athletic departments, and complex environments — then helps you implement every recommendation we make.
Clarity Before the Crisis. Every Time.
We Work On-Site
We don't evaluate your operation from a conference room. Our staff is present on the ground — on game days, during setup, and through the aftermath.
We Find What Others Miss
The gaps that hurt organizations most are rarely visible from the top. After 17 years on the ground, we know exactly where to look.
We Implement the Fix
Our other divisions — security, kitchens, event operations — mean we don't just identify problems. We can solve them directly with our own resources.
Areas of Expertise.
Deep, hands-on experience across the disciplines that make events and facilities run — with the divisions to help implement what we recommend.
Operations & Event Management
Operational planning, logistics, staffing, and event execution — from the first planning meeting through game day.
Security Consulting
Advisory guidance on security operations, event security planning, and risk and vulnerability assessment.
Fire & Life Safety
Operational safety advising — emergency action planning, evacuation and egress logistics, and crowd safety.
ADA & Accessibility
Accessible event and facility planning — routes, seating, parking, restrooms, and accommodations.
Capital Projects
Owner's-side guidance — planning, budgeting, phasing, and keeping your operation running through construction. We advise on the strategy; we don't manage the build.
Facility Management
Advisory support for running facilities well —
How an engagement works
Four phases, priced separately. You can stop after any of them — and most consulting relationships would end after the second.
PHASE 01
Assess
We come and look, properly. Site survey and constraints. Utility capacity — water, sewer, gas, electrical, and what the site can actually deliver versus what the drawings claim. Discharge routing and approval. Service flow and throughput. Storage and logistics. Permit and inspection pathway. Siting and traffic.
For foodservice that means real meal counts by daypart, menu mix, therapeutic and special diet requirements, and the service windows that cannot move.
DELIVERABLE · Findings and constraints. What you are actually working with.
PHASE 02
Recommend
The written plan. What is needed, in what sequence, at what cost, and where the risk sits. Capacity and equipment specification. Layout and utility routing. Permit and inspection strategy. Phasing that keeps service running. Contingency for the things that go wrong on projects of this type, because they do.
DELIVERABLE · A plan specific enough to build from and honest enough to budget from.
PHASE 03
Implement
We stay. For a defined period, at an agreed scope. Deployment coordination. Subcontractor sourcing and management. Utility connection and commissioning. Inspection liaison. Problem solving on site while the operation runs. Handover to your team when it is stable.
This is the phase almost nobody else offers, and it is the reason the earlier phases are worth paying for.
DELIVERABLE · A working operation, not a document about one.
PHASE 04
Source
When the temporary phase ends and you are specifying the permanent solution, we can help you buy it. Equipment specification based on operating experience. Nationwide buying power and active relationships with hundreds of equipment vendors. Vendor coordination and delivery scheduling. Furnishings and fixtures as well as production equipment.
A distributor can tell you what a combi oven costs. We can tell you what it is like to run one for three years — a different and more useful conversation when you are committing capital for a decade.
DELIVERABLE · The right equipment at the right price, specified by people who have operated it.
Why we can credibly say we stay
A consultant who recommends a temporary kitchen has to hand you to a vendor. That handoff is where plans die: the vendor scopes it differently, the timeline shifts, the assumptions in the report turn out not to hold, and nobody owns the gap.
We recommend it, we deploy it, and we operate it. Twelve owned kitchen campus units. Mobile locker rooms, showers, bunkhouses, power and lighting. Health department operational approvals in Nebraska, Tennessee and Florida — meaning our units were inspected in operation and approved to serve food, not approved on drawings.
And when the answer is that you do not need our equipment, we will tell you that. An assessment that ends in "your existing kitchen can be phased, here is how" is a successful engagement.
Proof: University of Nebraska–Lincoln Athletics
We were brought in to observe. A full football season inside facility operations, watching service flow, storage, equipment handling and the pinch points that only appear when 90,000 people arrive at once. The deliverable was assessment and recommendations.
That is where most consulting engagements end. Ours became a kitchen plan, then a 32-month temporary kitchen campus operated through the Memorial Stadium renovation with Kiewit as construction manager.
Then a storage rebuild: pack-out, conex staging, fencing subcontractor coordination, a new racking system designed for the space, and everything reloaded. Then pallet racking for Memorial Stadium East Storage. Then flooring for Kornhusker Kickoff. Then locker room work alongside Sampson Construction on the baseball and softball remodel.
And when the permanent commissary came online, UNL asked us to help specify and source the equipment for it — the permanent replacement for the temporary kitchen we had been running.
What we are not
We are not general contractors. We do not hold the construction contract or perform the renovation. We manage the interruption around it, and we work alongside your construction manager.
We are not a catering company. We do not cook your food or staff your line. We provide the operation and keep it running; your foodservice team operates it.
We are not an open-ended retainer. Implementation support is scoped and time-bound. The goal is to hand you a stable operation and step back, not to become permanent overhead.
Start with an assessment
Tell us what is changing and we will tell you what it will take. An assessment is not a commitment to anything else — and if the honest answer is that you do not need us, that is what you will hear.
