-
Several years of experience in executive positions and ultimately in general management, which allows us to offer practical solutions and to actively support our customers throughout the implementation process, instead of just pointing out a catalog of problems
-
Proven success stories in the opening, repositioning and conceptual realignment of numerous restaurant projects
-
Transparency through clearly defined price structure
-
Unconventional and very individual approach, taking current trends and industry developments into account
-
Guest and quality, combined with a strong focus on detail, are always our main priority
-
Strong network of selected partners, which allows us to offer a more extensive service from ‘real’ experts in their respective fields
How we work?
Our aim is to give you the best possible and objective advice, to pick up on relevant trends and technologies and to actively support you in the implementation of any suggested measures. We definitely do not see our assignment as concluded just because you receive a report from us.
Through our holistic approach, we first analyze the current state of each company in order to determine the status quo. Of course, this also requires a proper SWOT analysis in order to fully understand positioning and competitiveness.
If you do not already have clearly defined objectives for your company, we would of course also support you in defining such corresponding objectives first. Only then would we be able to develop a bespoke catalog of measures for your organization.
As a final step, we can then establish a road map to close the gap between your current situation and the set objectives. The ultimate goal of this master plan is certainly the optimization and the profitability of your business.

Which services can / can't we offer?
Our most popular modules
We have put together a selection of our most popular solutions here to give you a little insight into our range of services. We stand for transparency and have therefore made a conscious decision to openly disclose our pricing.
Of course we know that the hotel and catering industry consists of individualists and that no two companies are alike!
We would be very happy to arrange a completely non-binding initial meeting with you, in order for us to understand your individual needs and then be able to make you an equally individualized offer.
​
With whom do we work?
We have partnered with selected companies, in order to be able to offer our customers a wider range of services, that are not covered as part of our own expertise.
All partners are experts in their field and most have worked with us on a number of projects and can therefore be recommended without any hesitation.
The background of our partners is as diverse as the people who stand behind the companies. Nevertheless, we have one thing in common: of course, we always act in the best interests of our customers and place very high quality demands not only on ourselves, but also on everyone else involved in our projects.
We would be happy to put you in touch, if you are explicitly interested in one of the partners or want to know more about their respective solutions.
