17:45 · the promise — the standard set before demand
The restaurant exists before the restaurant exists.
We create restaurants and bars from first decision to opening night — feasibility, concept, brand, HACCP-ready design, fit-out oversight, licensing coordination, recruitment, operating systems and launch, managed as one connected development mandate.
GGB // DEVELOPMENT BLUEPRINT — FEASIBILITY TO OPENING NIGHT
01Feasibility envelope
Revenue model · CAPEX / OPEX · break-even · sensitivity — the go / revise / stop decision before design spend.
02Plan, zoning & kitchen flow
The service line proven on paper: Receiving → Storage → Preparation → Pass → Service, with raw/cooked separation designed in.
03Completed room + operating readout
The room opens with its controls running — covers, labour and yield read daily from day one.
Held as one programme
Civil · MEP · Licensing · Recruitment · SOP — thin disciplines coordinated inside the mandate, never bought separately and reconciled by hope.
GGB development framework — the method drawn,
not a venue photographed. Categories only; project numbers publish from the proof
vault when verified.
Why openings go wrongdisconnection, priced later
Feasibility done by the broker selling the site — or not done at all.
Concept, kitchen design and licensing developed by parties who never meet.
A BOQ nobody owns, priced against drawings nobody coordinated.
Recruitment starting after handover; training starting after opening.
An opening date set by the lease, not by readiness.
None of these is exotic — each is what happens when commercial, design, statutory,
construction and people decisions are bought separately and coordinated by hope.
The mandate exists to hold them as one system, with one party accountable to the
owner for the whole line.
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.
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.

Who does whatstated plainly · no regulated-work overclaim
GGB delivers directly
Investment coordination, concept, operational design input, project governance, procurement oversight, people, manuals, readiness, launch and performance control — as contracted.
GGB coordinates as owner’s representative
Architects, engineers, contractors, authority specialists and vendors — independent owner-side oversight of cost, programme, quality, risk and decisions.
Licensed specialists deliver
Legal opinions, statutory design, calculations, seals and submissions, and regulated engineering — always with appropriately licensed professionals within their appointment.
Sequence over speed. Gates over dates.
Every project runs the same spine — brief → truth → concept → site → design →
build → people → launch — but the calendar belongs to YOUR site, YOUR authority
path and YOUR format. GGB publishes no generic timeline because a generic
timeline is the first lie of this industry. What you get instead: a master
programme built for the project at mandate, and decision gates that hold it.
Go / revise / stopCapital committed only on a modelled investment case (workstream 01).
Concept & menu sign-offThe venue commits to something priceable, staffable and distinct (02).
Site & authority confirmationLease and licensing surprises surfaced before design spend (03).
Design package approvalConstruction priced against a coordinated, HACCP-ready package (04).
Award & variation controlCost and programme held through fit-out on documented evidence (05).
Operating-system acceptanceTeam, SOPs, technology and controls proven before the first guest (06).
Open / holdOpening night called from the readiness tracker, not the calendar (07).
Proofartefacts over adjectives
The development record — feasibility models, HACCP plan sets, BOQs, programmes,
SOP libraries, training matrices, readiness trackers — is entering the public
vault under verification and clearance. Until a dossier clears, its slot says so
honestly; nothing here is decorated with imaginary work.
The mandate fits capital-backed founders, groups launching a new concept,
developers and landlords, hotel asset owners, and international brands entering
the GCC. Formats: restaurant · bar & lounge · café · qsr · cloud kitchen · food hall · hotel f&b · entertainment f&b.
Minimum readiness: funding secured or being finalised, decision authority at the
table, and a real appetite for evidence. The application states your route
honestly — including "too early".
From AED 150,000indicative — scoped per engagement
Owner's-representative retainers, pre-opening mandates and scale engagements are
scoped on the project-fit call and priced in writing before any commitment.
