Most of the money is lost before you open.

Tighter margins and a price-sensitive customer make food-cost discipline and menu engineering decisive in Sharjah.

  • The wrong site or concept — chosen on instinct, not on a feasibility model.
  • An over-built kitchen and fit-out that drains capital you needed for the first six months.
  • Licensing and municipality delays that push the opening — and the rent clock is already running.
  • No projected P&L, so nobody knows the break-even covers or the food-cost target on day one.

The GGB approach

A launch built to make money, not just to open.

GGB runs the launch the way an operator with a real P&L would — turnkey restaurant setup with feasibility first, then a disciplined path to opening on time and on budget.

  1. 01

    Feasibility & concept

    Market, location and unit economics modelled before a dirham is committed. If the numbers do not work, you hear it first.

  2. 02

    Licence & fit-out pathway

    A sequenced route through DET / municipality approvals and a kitchen designed for flow and cost — not for show.

  3. 03

    Menu & cost engineering

    A menu built around food-cost targets and margin, with recipes and portions standardised before opening.

  4. 04

    Pre-opening playbook

    SOPs, hiring, training and a projected P&L, so the doors open with controls in place — not improvised in week one.

What a launch inherits

We don't trade on logos. We show you the numbers.

One named, documented engagement — published with the client's consent — then the method we hold every engagement to. Other outcomes stay confidential until we walk you through them.

For a launch, this is the method you start with instead of retrofit: the same purchasing, portioning and menu-pricing controls that recovered fifteen points of food cost at Parco are installed from day one — so a new opening holds its margin from the first week of trading.

At Parco Group's Jebel Ali operation, food cost was running at 44% — margin lost on every cover. Over a 120-day reset, GGB rebuilt purchasing, portioning, menu pricing and waste control and brought food cost to 29%. With margin under control, the focus moved to the top line: across nine months, average daily sales rose from AED 6,000 to AED 14,000 — the same kitchen and team, under disciplined P&L control.

Questions

Do you work in Sharjah?
Yes — GGB works across the UAE and wider GCC, including Sharjah, plus Singapore, Oman and India. Premium engagements are founder-led.
How early should I bring you in?
Before the lease, ideally. The site and concept decisions made first are the ones that decide the economics for years. For restaurant setup from scratch — no site, no concept yet — the feasibility conversation is the right first call.
Do you only work in Dubai?
No — across the UAE and wider GCC, India and Singapore.
Can you work with my own architect and contractor?
Yes. We set the kitchen and operational brief; your team builds to it. We protect the flow and the cost.
