Systems, vendor setup, staffing structure, workflows, and launch support so you open ready — not scrambling.

The Service

Opening a restaurant is one of the most complex operational challenges you'll face. Most operators underestimate what needs to be built before opening day. We work alongside you from day one to build the systems, relationships, and structure that set you up for long-term success — not just a good first week.

FAQ

Common Questions

When should I bring in an opening consultant?

As early as possible. We work alongside you from day one, and the more that's built before opening day (systems, vendors, staffing, training), the smoother the first weeks go.

What does restaurant opening consulting include?

Opening timeline and milestones, vendor sourcing, staffing structure and job descriptions, onboarding and training systems, SOPs for every department, POS and systems setup guidance, pre-opening staff training, and opening week support.

Can we bundle beverage, culinary, front of house, and leadership into one engagement?

Yes. Full opening packages bundle our programs into one engagement, scoped by concept type: small café, small restaurant, full-service restaurant, or high-end concept.

Do you hire our staff?

No. We design the staffing structure, write the job descriptions, and give you hiring and interview guidance. You do the hiring, and we train the team before opening.

Do you support us after we open?

Opening week operational support is included. After that, we offer monthly advisory retainers if you want us in your corner. Monthly support runs $1,500 to $12,000 a month, depending on how involved you want us.

How much does restaurant opening consulting cost?

Full opening packages range by concept: small café $12,000 to $20,000, small restaurant $20,000 to $35,000, full-service restaurant $35,000 to $60,000, and high-end concepts from $60,000. Your exact price is confirmed after a free consultation.
