Four ways in — one operating standard
Which decision is in front of you?
Recover margin. Reposition. Renovate.
Diagnosis first, then a repositioning or turnaround mandate with the numbers in the room.
Make it transferable, then multiply it.
Multi-site development, franchise readiness and replicable operating standards.
Control the operation as it grows.
Manuals, controls, dashboards and decision support for multi-outlet consistency.
The Restaurant Genesis system
One brief. Seven connected workstreams. One opening-ready asset.
Commercial, design, compliance, construction, people and launch decisions are not independent services — each one controls a risk the next one inherits. Select a workstream to read what it delivers, the risk it controls and the decision it creates.
The Restaurant Genesis system: one owner brief — capital, site and intent — enters seven connected workstreams: Commercial Truth, Concept and Brand, Site and Approvals, Design and Engineering, Build and Procurement, People and Operations, and Launch and Growth. All seven converge into one opening-ready restaurant or bar, with onward branches to stabilise, transform or scale the operation. Select a workstream to read its deliverables, the risk it controls and the decision it creates.

GGB development framework — the operating graph of the mandate, drawn; artefact slots publish from the documented record only when verified.
Commercial Truth
Feasibility, investment model, market demand, sensitivity and a go / revise / stop recommendation.
The client receives
- Approved project brief and governance charter
- Market and demand study — catchment, occasions, competition, pricing
- Feasibility and investment case — revenue model, CAPEX, OPEX, working capital, break-even, payback, sensitivity
- Site and lease due-diligence record
Risk controlled
Capital committed to the wrong concept, site or investment case before the evidence exists.
Decision created
Go / revise / stop — taken on a modelled investment case, not on optimism.
Artefact
Redacted feasibility model with sensitivity table — see the published evidence
Concept + Brand
Positioning, format, theme, guest journey, menu proposition, identity and experience.
The client receives
- Concept platform — cuisine or beverage format, target guest, positioning, service model
- Theme and guest-experience blueprint — arrival, atmosphere, service cues, recovery moments
- Complete brand system — identity, tone, signage, uniforms, menu design
- Commercial menu and recipe architecture — yields, portions, food cost, contribution margin
Risk controlled
A concept that cannot be priced, staffed or differentiated once it meets a real market.
Decision created
The concept, brand and menu the venue commits capital to.
Artefact
Concept and menu development records — see the published evidence
Site + Approvals
Site viability, lease risk, authority path, activity permissions and specialist coordination.
The client receives
- Site viability and risk record — footfall, access, services, landlord constraints
- Approval pathway and tracker — entity, municipality, food authority, fire, signage
- Jurisdiction-specific compliance plan for licensed activities, coordinated with legal specialists
Risk controlled
Lease and licensing surprises surfacing after capital is committed.
Decision created
Site and authority path confirmed before design spend starts.
Artefact
Approval pathway tracker extract — see the published evidence
Design + Engineering
FOH, HACCP kitchen, bar, civil, MEP, fire, lighting, acoustics, IT and a coordinated BOQ.
The client receives
- Approved spatial programme — seating mix, circulation, revenue density
- HACCP-ready commercial kitchen layout and bar flow — receiving to pass, raw/cooked separation, cold chain, waste
- Coordinated design and engineering packages — civil works, restaurant kitchen MEP, fire/life safety, lighting, acoustics, IT
- Equipment and finish schedules
Risk controlled
An uncoordinated design that resurfaces as cost, delay and food-safety failure on site.
Decision created
The design package construction is priced and built against.
Artefact
HACCP kitchen flow plan, redacted — see the published evidence
Build + Procurement
Tendering, contracts, procurement, fit-out control, QA/QC, commissioning and handover.
The client receives
- BOQ, tender pack and value-engineering record — a defensible cost and award basis
- Controlled procurement system — vendor qualification, long-lead items, payment milestones, change control
- Owner-side fit-out oversight — programme, site reports, QA/QC, variation control, risk escalation
- Testing, commissioning and operationally-ready handover
Risk controlled
Uncontrolled cost, variation and programme drift during fit-out.
Decision created
Award, variations and handover acceptance — each taken on documented evidence.
Artefact
BOQ and tender comparison extract — see the published evidence
People + Operations
Organisation, recruitment, training, SOPs, manuals, technology, controls and KPIs.
The client receives

- Opening-capable team — induction, food safety, service, cash and leadership training
- Complete operating library — the operations manual, the quality manual and SOPs across kitchen, bar, service, cash, stock and safety
- Integrated technology stack and management operating rhythm — daily flash to weekly trade review
Risk controlled
Opening with a team and systems that cannot hold the standard past the first week.
Decision created
The operating system the venue runs on — before the first guest, not after.
Artefact
SOP page and training matrix extract — see the published evidence
Launch + Growth
Readiness, soft opening, launch marketing, stabilisation, optimisation and scale options.
The client receives
- Opening-readiness certificate — integrated tracker, inspections, mock service, staff sign-off
- Demand-generation system — channels, reservations, partnerships, local discovery
- Controlled soft opening and launch — live issue and decision log
- Stable early operation — live P&L, menu engineering, labour tuning, guest recovery
Risk controlled
A launch that burns demand before the operation can hold it.
Decision created
Open / hold — read from the readiness tracker, not the calendar.

Five specialists, one disconnection
Architect, contractor, kitchen supplier, branding agency, licensing agent — each controls a lane. Openings go wrong in the gaps between the lanes — the case for turnkey restaurant setup under one mandate, honestly drawn.
The P&L X-Ray
The guests see a room. The ledger sees a machine.
Drag the lens. Above it, the night as your guests experience it. Below it, the same room as operating truth — where the money moves, and where it leaves.
What the lens reveals · illustrative bands from the published diagnostic ranges — run your own numbers
- Kitchen — food: the band reads ≤ 32% of revenue; yield, portion and purchasing discipline decide it.
- Floor — labour: the band reads ≤ 30% of revenue, rostered to the demand curve, not the habit.
- Yield loss: counted weekly at the kitchen edge — or paid silently.
- The platform's cut: commonly 15–30% by contract — revenue that leaves through the door before the night is counted.
- Prime cost: food + labour together — the band reads ≤ 62% of revenue. The night, in numbers.
- The tables: T1–T3 turn covers all night — seat time is revenue time.

Kitchen rhythm
Orders become a live test of yield, labour and pace.
Pass pressure
Quality, timing and recovery meet at one handoff.
Guest room alive
The operating system becomes atmosphere and memory.
The handoff
Product becomes hospitality in one controlled motion.
After service
The room empties. The decisions stay visible.

The night's conclusion
One mandate. One accountable system. Opening night.
Service is on somewhere. The numbers are already moving. Mise en place hours — tonight is decided before the first guest sits. Service is on. Somewhere a pass is under pressure — and the numbers are moving. After service. The honest hour — tonight's numbers are already written.
