New Restaurant Start Up Consulting
Starting a new restaurant is an adventure, an exciting and promising one, but also a road with many challenges. If you're considering a restaurant start up you need the help of a group like LFG to help you get your business up and running.
We're here to help you create a gastronomic experience that makes sense, not just a menu, a recipe, or a logo, etc., because when done independently, they lack the power and connection of giving your customer the experience you dreamed of.
Who's LIVEFOOD Group
With over 30 years of experience designing, implementing and operating successful restaurants of our own, and also with some failures, we're ready to help you maximize your success possibilities and minimize the chance of failure.
If anybody is telling you that they can assure you a successful restaurant, they're selling you smoke.
We're here to work together with you and try to get your ideas to a place where they can become a reality, saving you time and money in the process, avoiding mistakes that many years of experience have taught us what to do or not to do.
At LIVEFOOD Group we ONLY DO START UP CONSULTING, because they're so many variables in the restaurant industry that we only focus in what we like and do best, which is helping entrepreneurs materialize their dream of owning a restaurant, and taking them through the creative process of their initial idea or dream, to a ready to operate restaurant.
