We Don’t Just Consult. We Build Restaurants That Last.
28+ years. 45+ launches. 300+ transformations. One mission: make every restaurant we touch permanently profitable.
Our Story
GGB Consulting was born from a simple observation: too many passionate restaurateurs were failing — not because their food was bad, but because nobody taught them how to run a business.
Founded in Dubai by Dayaparan P., a hospitality management professional with nearly three decades of hands-on experience across four countries, GGB Consulting exists to bridge the gap between culinary passion and commercial success.
What started as one-on-one advisory work with struggling restaurant owners in Dubai has grown into a full-spectrum consultancy serving the entire F&B lifecycle — from the first napkin sketch of a concept through to multi-unit franchise expansion across the GCC, Singapore, and India.
Our name reflects our ambition: Gallant Growth Bureau — bold growth, strategic precision, and the discipline to execute what others only plan. Today, we operate as GGB Consulting, the name our clients know us by and the brand that represents results over rhetoric.
We have seen every failure mode a restaurant can experience. Lease traps. Kitchen designs that bottleneck at 60 covers. Food cost spirals caused by unmeasured recipes. Staffing crises triggered by poor onboarding. Marketing budgets burned on vanity metrics. We have fixed all of them. Repeatedly. Systematically. And we have codified those fixes into repeatable frameworks that work whether you are opening your first café in Deira or scaling your tenth branch across the Gulf.
Meet the Founder
Dayaparan P. — Founder & CEO
Qualifications: MBA in Hotel Management | PMP Certified | Pursuing Doctorate in Hospitality Management
Dayaparan brings 28+ years of hands-on hospitality experience spanning luxury hotels, fine dining restaurants, large-scale catering operations, and quick-service chains across the UAE, India, Singapore, and Oman.
Before founding GGB Consulting, he held senior operational roles with some of the biggest names in the hospitality sector — managing everything from kitchen brigades of 50+ to multi-outlet P&L responsibility exceeding AED 20 million annually.
His approach is distinctly operational rather than theoretical. He personally reviews every project that GGB undertakes. His attention-to-detail philosophy has made GGB Consulting a name that restaurant owners trust when the stakes are highest — whether that is a make-or-break turnaround of a failing venue or the multi-million-dirham launch of a flagship concept.
Dayaparan is also at the forefront of AI integration in hospitality, deploying predictive analytics, automated inventory systems, and AI-driven customer engagement tools for GGB’s clients — making the consultancy one of the few in the region that combines deep F&B operations expertise with cutting-edge technology implementation.
“Every restaurant that fails could have succeeded with the right guidance at the right time. That conviction is what drives everything we do at GGB.”
— Dayaparan P.
What Sets Us Apart
We Do, Not Just Advise
Most consultancies hand you a PDF and wish you luck. We embed ourselves in your operation. Our team works alongside your kitchen staff, sits in on your service, analyses your POS data, walks your supply chain, and stays until the systems we build are running without us.
End-to-End Ownership
From the very first feasibility study through to your restaurant’s first profitable quarter, GGB is your single point of accountability. We handle concept development, licensing, kitchen design, menu engineering, staff recruitment, training, marketing launch, and ongoing operational monitoring — all under one roof.
Battle-Tested Frameworks
Our methodologies are not academic exercises. They are distilled from 300+ real engagements across every F&B format — fine dining, casual dining, QSR, cloud kitchens, catering, cafés, food trucks, and hotel F&B outlets. Every framework has been pressure-tested in the real world.
Technology-Forward
We integrate AI and automation into restaurant operations — not as a gimmick, but as a measurable cost-reduction and efficiency tool. From predictive demand forecasting that cuts food waste by 30% to automated staffing models that optimise labour cost, we bring the future of hospitality to our clients today.
Regional Expertise, Global Standards
With active operations in Dubai, Singapore, Oman, and India, we understand the regulatory landscape, consumer preferences, supply chain dynamics, and competitive pressures unique to each market. We apply international best practices adapted to local realities.

Our Services at a Glance
GGB Consulting provides comprehensive F&B consulting across three core pillars:
Launch — Restaurant startup consulting, concept creation, licensing, kitchen design, menu development, staffing, and marketing launch for new ventures.
Rescue — 90-day turnaround programmes for struggling restaurants, covering operational restructuring, cost control, menu re-engineering, and staff retraining.
Scale — Franchise development, multi-unit expansion strategy, cloud kitchen rollouts, and brand growth across new markets.
Supporting these pillars are specialised capabilities in HACCP and food safety certification, AI and technology integration, digital marketing, POS and tech stack implementation, and interim management services.
Our Commitment
We measure our success by one metric only: our clients’ profitability. Not by the thickness of our reports, the impressiveness of our slide decks, or the number of meetings we schedule. By profit. By sustained, growing, measurable profit.
If your restaurant is not making money after working with us, we have failed. That accountability is what separates GGB Consulting from every other name in this space.
