Our approach to restaurant consultancy

Our approach is collaborative, data-driven and tailored to the individual needs of each client. This isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ process; we recognise your unique challenges and build that into our critical path. We combine industry insights, extensive research and strategy to deliver creative solutions.

Conception

  • Market Research

  • Benchmarking

  • Brand Identity

  • Menu Architecture

  • Innovation Sessions

  • Concept Development

In the initial Conception stage, our focus is on the foundation of your food product. We delve into Market Research to understand your target market's preferences. Brand Identity is crafted to give your product a distinct personality. Menu Architecture is planned for a cohesive offering to bring your ideas to life.

Development

  • Procurement & Supply Chain

  • Operation Specification

  • Recipe Development

  • Tasting

  • Commercial Sign Off

The Development stage is where your product starts to take shape. We handle Procurement & Supply Chain to ensure ingredient quality and availability. Operation Specification streamlines production processes. Recipe Development refines your product's taste and quality, and Tasting sessions fine-tune the final result. Commercial Sign Off seals the product's readiness for market.

Commercialisation

  • Content Creation

  • Production Trials

  • Technical Specifications

  • Team Training

  • HACCP & Food Safety

  • Product Launch

Commercialisation is the stage where your product becomes market-ready. We create and execute content briefs to generate stunning marketing assets, ensure HACCP & Food Safety documentation is in place, finalise recipe books and technical specifications, and then train your team on-site so your product meets all standards before the exciting Launch.

Ongoing Support:

In addition to these vital stages, many of our clients choose to secure ongoing support through a retainer. This continued partnership guarantees the long-term success and growth of your product even after it hits the market. To name a few, GFS can be your acting: Development Chefs, Content Creators, Technical Managers, Procurement Team, Executive Chef, External H&S Auditors, Social Media Managers and Business Strategists. All from day-1 of your business rather than the substantial growth or investment needed to secure an equivalent team in house.
