Service 02 — Fractional Leadership

Fractional F&B Director

Senior F&B leadership for operators who need commercial, kitchen and board-level guidance without a full-time executive hire. A weekly operating rhythm that keeps margin, menu, labour and standards under control — without the overhead.

What it is

An embedded senior F&B leader working with your business on a fractional basis — typically two to eight days per month. Weekly operating rhythm, monthly performance review, menu and pricing cadence, labour framework, coaching, and board-level reporting. You get the judgement of a full-time executive at a fraction of the cost.

Who it's for

3–10 site restaurant groups, hotel operators, and growth-stage businesses that need senior F&B leadership but can't justify a full-time executive hire. Investor-backed businesses that need operational governance. Franchise systems and QSR operators scaling into new markets.

Why not just hire someone?

A full-time F&B director costs £80,000–£150,000 plus benefits, plus equity, plus the risk of a bad hire. Fractional gives you the same judgement for a quarter of the annual cost, with the flexibility to scale up or down as the business needs. You're not buying a seat — you're buying the outcome.

Senior leadership without the overhead.
