Twenty-plus years of senior hospitality leadership behind restaurant groups, hotel operators, investors and franchisors. Nimble, fast, and built for operators who need results, not decks.
We do not design pretty concepts. We make them work.
A commercial and operational diagnostic that identifies where F&B profit is leaking, what it's costing you, and what to fix first. Thirty days, clear output, no fluff.
Senior F&B leadership for operators who need board-level guidance without a full-time executive hire. Weekly operating rhythm, performance review, menu and pricing cadence, coaching.
Focused support for measurable improvement in margin, labour productivity, kitchen flow and operating discipline. For businesses that need grip, not theory.
Operator-led support for franchisors, master franchisees, investors and brands entering or scaling in the UK, Ireland or internationally. From readiness to mobilisation.
Full food offer construction for a new or rebuilt site: menu, supply chain, kitchen design input, recruitment, food safety systems and owner mentoring through build and opening.
Matt designed and built the full food offer at The Tunnel House Inn — a value-engineered kitchen delivered ahead of the wider build, a brilliant interim Airstream menu around the Josper, and a seasonal, provenance-led dining offer that's now live to outstanding feedback and very healthy bookings. He helped us recruit an excellent head chef and strong team, and has been a trusted sounding board throughout. Recommended without hesitation.
