The first 90 days shape the next five years.
Most opening problems are set in motion weeks before the doors open: rushed hiring, untested systems, and a team that never rehearsed service together.
We work alongside owners, chefs, and investors from pre-opening through the first months of service — building the team, the standards, and the systems so your opening is calm, your guests come back, and your numbers make sense from day one.

Everything an opening needs.
Opening timeline & critical path

FAQ
Opening questions.
When should we bring in an opening consultant?
Ideally three to six months before opening, while there's still time to shape hiring, layout, and systems. We can also step in closer to opening, or right after a rocky launch.
Do you work with first-time owners?
Yes. Many owners we help are opening their first restaurant — we help you avoid the common, costly mistakes.
Can you help after we've already opened?
Yes. Stabilizing a new opening is one of the most common requests. We start with a quick look at what's slowing you down and fix it with your team.
