FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
No. All positive enquiries are followed up with a meeting in a UK location of your choice, at our expense.
Our rates are bespoke and completely depend on the level and scale of the work required – in the same way that it would usually cost more to hire an operations director than a chef (although it’s arguable who is worth more there). We always send a detailed, fully-costed, risk-free proposal before you make any final decisions.
We specialise in the UK market, but that includes significant experience in European destinations for UK visitors (ie. tourist locations)
We focus on SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) but with a very broad scope. Both single and multi-site restaurants, pubs, bars, fast casual, QSR, and concessions. From small/medium (c£10k) to very large (>£300k) individual site turnover per week. If you are at idea/vision stage or site No.1, through small multiple, up to around 30-50 sites (with exit strategy) then we are for you. If you are 50+ sites looking to get to 500, then you really shouldn’t need hospitality consultants!
