Because of the unique emotional connections between people and food, our job is to develop a "social soul" for a Restaurant, Hotel, Cafe, Gourmet store or an upmarket Bistro.People think we are designers, which isn't quite the case: We are design managers and highly professional operators. We do the creative and conceptual thinking. And because we're very bottom-line orientated, we work on economic and market analyses for a venture. Then we manage the work of designers, architects and facilities consultants—inch by inch and table by table—through completion of the job. We develop budgets, food and menus that sing to customers, tabletop and graphics that reinforce the food concept and then we assist in a successful launch.If this were the movie business, you'd call us "Executive Producers" because we put together all the players and then manage their work.We perform for our clients the very same way that we do for ourselves when opening one of our own places. Whether starting from scratch or rejuvenating an existing restaurant, we're there, every step of the way.We'll study a problem and a location and devise a unique conceptual solution. We work with your architect/designer or suggest one of the great professionals who we think is right for you.Then we work in close collaboration with you and your entire team on:Business Planning & DevelopmentDesign Concepts and Develope the food styleMaster Planning of Hotels and Retail DevelopmentsDesign Management of every aspect and every inch of the project, from Seating Plans to Lighting Strategy to Selection of Furnishings and Materials to Kitchen DesignMenu and Food DevelopmentTabletop Design and PrecurementRecruiting Pre-Opening and Opening Budgets and SchedulesMarketing Plans and StrategiesRequests for ProposalsLease Negotiating and Operating AgreementsMore than any other restaurant consulting group, we have worked with the world's most celebrated designers and architects.
