Opening quickly is one thing. However the key to your business’ long-term success is opening profitably.
We are multitasking, thinking machines that use our years of hospitality experience to turn potential opportunities and concepts into thriving businesses.
We maneuver around all aspects of a hospitality brand from design to operations. We can identify problems, provide solutions and triage existing concepts or we can be the “from the ground up thinkers” that bring your hospitality brand to the surface.
We treat every client’s establishment like it is our own. It is important for us to truly understand the vision of our clients. When we know this, we can take our own expertise and creativity to make it happen. We are hands on, spending time with not only you but your staff. Having extensive management background, we are experienced in dealing with all kinds of personalities and finding a way to connect and motivate them during the process. Not every person is motivated the same way and knowing how to motivate your team can directly affect the success of your business.
No matter the stage, we’re here to help you grow your business!
Budgeting // Menu Analysis & Food costs
One of the biggest reasons why restaurants fail is, cost. Not knowing exactly how much each plate or each cocktail costs, could be detrimental to your business. We analyze your menus and assist with appropriate pricing from the day you open your doors. If you’re already established, we can re-engineer a pricing strategy that better serves the true value of your menu items.
Budgets are always top of mind for us. Whether it’s brand development, your online presence, menu, decor, equipment, we get it! We’ve been on all sides and know what it takes to build a profitable hospitality concept.
Concept // Development & Design
We work with you to bring your vision to life. The feel of your space is just as important as the inner workings of the operations and culture. We design with efficiency in mind. A space not only needs to be aesthetically pleasing but also functional. As an operator, your team and your guest need to feel the experience wanted to create for them.
We work with a team who has not only designed and built out restaurants, but have worked in them. A new concept or a new establishment can be overwhelming and you may not know where to start -- let us be a part of your team and get you open!
Operations // Training & Personnel
Whether you’re brand new or undergoing changes, we can assist in hiring teams, facilitate training, help plan team schedules, and organize soft and grand openings. Spending time educating and training your team, is instrumental in delivering your vision. They are the face of your concept. The more confident and informed they are, the more successful your guest experience will be and the more likely you will build loyal, repeat customers.
Successfully placing culture-appropriate talent, setting labor standards and establishing proper salaries is crucial to your business. From kitchen and dining staff to upper level management, we can find the right fit for you. With experience in managing 10 to 200+ employee teams, we can help you put together your dream team.
This is just the surface of what we offer. Dive deeper to see all the areas we can assist you with your hospitality concept.
