Menu Planning & Engineering

Kitchen Design- Strategic Approach

The kitchen is the backbone of all successful restaurants around the world

High real estate prices and rentals often result in small, cramped kitchens

Poorly designed kitchens can mean disaster, run into restaurant bottom lines and lead to increased employee turnover

Even a small area can be converted into a smart & efficient kitchen with professional guidance

Our years of experience working in international standard kitchens helps us to design modern kitchens in limited space which can overcome any kind of challenge

Restaurant Design- Themes & Concepts

Standalone restaurants are often designed by home interiors or office interior firms

These firms lack acumen, know-how or the creativity to set up a restaurant the result is a nice looking restaurant with Operational Flaws

Then the owners are left with two choices, either to live with it or make the necessary alterations by spending even more money.

Our team contributes to the success and profits of any dining establishment

Planning a restaurant’s interior design begins with your budget followed by market research, continues with understanding the market trends and concludes with strategic execution.

Training & Development

Your employees are the biggest marketing tool for your business

Restaurant training is much more than teaching the server staff how to set a table, take an order or serve a meal..

Restaurant training isn’t just a cost center or a cost of doing business, it’s an investment into a higher return on profit.

Your restaurant managers have a role that is far more vital to impart your restaurant’s brand and positioning on staff members and guests.

We offer a variety of restaurant training programs to help our clients improve culture, understanding of core values and company objectives.

We involve and enroll the entire organization in the pursuit of your vision.

We also offer cutting-edge service training systems.

Our restaurant training programs are custom-built around your unique operation and designed to raise the bar for service and performance.

HR – Hiring the Right Candidate

Are you hiring the right person for the right job ?

Are your Chefs and Managers happy working for your restaurant ?

The major challenge for any restaurant today is to find the right candidates suitable for the type of restaurant, concept, theme and clientele
