New Openings

Thinking about opening a restaurant? You’ve come to the right place.

Opening a restaurant takes clear planning and expert support. We help operators open the right way, having launched over 150 concepts across hotels, bars, and restaurants.

  • Behind every successful restaurant opening is a clear, well-defined concept. We establish the style of operation, service model, layout, menu direction, and overall guest experience to set a strong foundation from day one.

  • Brand is more than a logo—it defines how your restaurant is experienced. We develop names, visual identity, menus, packaging, and uniforms that create consistency and recognition across every touchpoint.

  • Your menu drives both guest experience and profitability. We curate offerings, develop recipes, and lead tasting sessions to ensure your menu is executable, profitable, and aligned with your concept.

  • Most menus are built for satisfaction, not profit. We engineer, cost, and price menus to improve margins, streamline inventory, and enhance the guest experience.

  • Strong systems are essential when opening a restaurant. We implement controls, standards, and procedures that reduce waste, improve consistency, and support long-term profitability.

  • A clear business plan is a critical step in opening a restaurant. We build detailed financial models that clarify startup costs, operating expectations, and ROI—supporting financing and site selection.

  • Our chef consultants design efficient commercial kitchens tailored to your concept and space, optimizing workflow, equipment selection, and execution.

  • A successful opening depends on your team. We train front-of-house and kitchen staff on service standards, systems, and culture to deliver a consistent guest experience from day one.

  • We provide hands-on support during your opening, ensuring staff readiness, kitchen execution, and service flow are dialed in so your restaurant opens at a 10-out-of-10 level.

We set your restaurant up for success from Day One.

Opening a restaurant requires more than a great idea—it requires clear planning and execution. Our launch support covers every critical step, from concept development and financial planning to systems, staffing, and opening day execution. Whether you’re refining a vision or starting from scratch, we customize our approach to ensure alignment across concept, finances, operations, and people, setting your restaurant up for long-term success.


Most restaurant openings fail due to poor planning, weak systems, and rushed execution.

Our launch process helps you avoid these mistakes before they become costly. Get in touch to learn more.
