The problem

Opening a restaurant is where most of the risk lives.

First-time and inexperienced operators lose time and money in the same places, over and over.

01

Guesswork over data

Concept, site and menu decisions made on instinct, not tested unit economics.

02

Wasted time

Licensing, design and hiring run in silos instead of a sequenced plan with real deadlines.

03

Uncontrolled spend

Capex overruns, missed cost lines and scope creep with no one accountable for the budget.

04

Paperwork surprises

SFA licensing, ACRA filings and PDPA obligations discovered late, after money is committed.

Our approach

A data-driven system,
not a personality-led service.

We take first-time and inexperienced F&B entrepreneurs from concept to stable operations — end-to-end, from concept, site and menu development through paperwork and approvals, staffing and launch marketing — using structured project management, financial modelling and tracked milestones so nothing is left to assumption or surprise.

Evidence before capital

Financial feasibility and downside testing before major money is committed.

One tracked system

A single project plan across concept, site, licensing, menu and marketing.

Visible at all times

Live budget, licensing and milestone tracking — not just periodic reviews.

No guaranteed outcomes

Honest scenario ranges. We say ‘don't open’ when the evidence says so.

Who we help

Four segments, one repeatable system.

First-time entrepreneurs

Clear sequence, feasibility, capex/opex planning, licensing coordination and opening support.

The framework

Ten decision gates,
one accountable plan.

The Launch Table moves a client through fixed checkpoints — no phase begins until the evidence supports it.

  1. 01
    Concept approval
  2. 02
    Financial feasibility
  3. 03
    Site approval
  4. 04
    Lease execution
  5. 05
    Design & capex approval
  6. 06
    Menu & pricing
  7. 07
    Staffing readiness
  8. 08
    Licensing readiness
  9. 09
    Soft-opening readiness
  10. 10
    Commercial opening
The most important commercial discipline — we recommend a client does not open, reduces investment, changes site, revises the concept, or extends the cash runway when the evidence does not support the original plan.

How we work

Built on transparency, not persuasion.

Written conflict-of-interest policy

Client sales, recipe, supplier and staffing data segregated; ownership interests and referral fees disclosed.

Nothing guaranteed that can't be

No promises on licence approval, lease execution, financing or revenue — only better-informed decisions.

Client dependency schedules

Consultant deliverables kept separate from landlord, authority and contractor timelines.

IP that compounds

Every engagement strengthens the scorecards and benchmarks used for the next client.
