FoodLab Consulting

Creating a successful F&B project requires 4 fundamentals: a good idea, an intelligent menu, a nice place and capable staff. That is why our core team is formed by a F&B management and financial expert, a highly experienced executive chef and an architect with outstanding artistic and aesthetic sensibility, all supported by a second line of capable people. Ok, at this point we have created the perfect conditions to open the restaurant, be it new or remodeled. We know we are good, but others are, there's plenty of consultants out there! BUT, there is always a but!, having a continued success in the F&B world depends on one single crucial element: STAFF. In the management of a restaurant headaches almost always come from a single place: the kitchen. Problems with character, wage, hygiene, teamwork, personal dislike, career, you name it. In short: resignation and high turn-over. And here the world becomes much less crowded. And we become indispensable. FoodLab Consulting incorporates the FoodLab Academy, the chefs' academy we created back in 2004 and which has become one of the most renowned private Italian training schools for restaurant staff. We know that staff is critical, and we know that staff needs to be upgraded, replaced, motivated, sometimes fired. This is why we create staff, we shape it so we can continuously assist our clients both in the initial selection and in crisis management. Because there will be crisis, and how! As if that was not enough, we have a huge network in the F&B and restaurants world that allows us to find the best solution for our clients: chefs move, they periodically put themselves out there, and when that happens we know it. Everyone in the F&B world knows that this is how this activity works. And any new player with less experience but a great idea will soon find out. In both cases the enduring solution is FoodLab Consulting.
