New Restaurant Development

Concept development, financial planning, operational design, vendor strategy, menu development, staffing plans, opening preparation, and launch support.

The expensive mistakes in a new restaurant are made months before the doors open — in the model, the layout, the menu, and the staffing plan. We work through those decisions with you and stay through opening.

What the work includes

  • Concept definition and positioning
  • Financial modeling, pro forma, and startup budget
  • Kitchen flow, equipment, and operational design input
  • Menu development and costing
  • Vendor selection and purchasing setup
  • Hiring, training plans, and opening timeline
  • Soft opening and launch support

This is usually a fit when

  • First café, bakery, or restaurant — or your first of this type
  • A signed or pending lease and a build ahead of you
  • A concept that needs pressure-testing before capital goes in

What's happening in your restaurant?

Maybe margins are slipping. Maybe you're preparing to open. Maybe growth has exposed problems that didn't exist before. Or maybe you simply know the operation should be working better than it is.
