Services
Four fronts. One standard.
We work where the guest experience is decided: in the dining room, the kitchen, the front desk and behind the scenes. Every project starts on the floor and ends in the numbers.
01
F&B & Concept
From idea to plate, from glass to bill. We design and fine tune restaurant operations that sell more and waste less.
What it includes
· Concept and positioning
· Menu design and engineering
· Bar, wine and wine list
· Layout, flows and floor service
· Cost and waste control
02
Hotel Operations
Guests feel the difference when the back of house works. We build standards, routines and metrics that make excellence repeatable.
What it includes
· Front office and arrival experience
· Housekeeping and room standards
· Preventive maintenance
· SOPs, KPIs and management routines
· Team structure and scheduling
03
Training & Onboarding
With structural staff shortages across the sector, whoever trains fastest wins. Practical programmes, delivered by an operator who is also a certified trainer.
What it includes
· Express onboarding for seasonal teams
· Service and upselling training
· Wine training
· Leadership for middle managers
· Manuals and training materials
04
Openings
An opening succeeds or fails in the weeks before the doors open. We have designed and led five. We know where the traps are.
What it includes
· Pre-opening plan and timeline
· Org chart and recruitment
· SOPs and operating manuals
· Suppliers and purchasing
· Soft opening and follow up
Bespoke projects.
Wine lists, service audits, mystery guest, events and F&B programming. If it is hospitality, we should talk.
