IDENTIFY INVESTABLE RESTAURANT CONCEPTS

While The Single Table focuses on the consulting side, it's part of a larger concept encompassing an investing side. The Single Table is an active investor in restaurant groups with outlets ranging from QSRs to full-service that, in total, gross over USD $100,000,000 annually. The Single Table scours the world looking for investable ideas and strategic partners who want to grow and evolve their brands.

RESTAURANT CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

The Single Table develops concepts from the ground up with a 360 approach that includes menu development, putting processes in place, and lease, or land, acquisition. It's not about creating the next "big thing." It's about cultivating food concepts that have staying power and build repeat business with a loyal following.

IN-PERSON CONSULTATION AND TRAINING - FINE DINING

The Single Table consults the best chefs in the world and is available for in-person consultations and team training to cover vital subjects including:

guest experience
storytelling through food and articulating your vision
menu development
operations
restaurant presentation

In one example, The Single Table helped a starred restaurant create a narrative around a dish that could earn them an extra $250,000 per year from a single plate.

STAR LEVEL INSPECTION AS A SECRET DINER

The Single Table will dine in your restaurant and compile an obsessively-meticulous report on par with a guide inspection. This includes:

pre-arrival
every beat and aspect of your service culture including staff training
technique
plating
flavours
menu development and tasting menu (if offered) progression
beverage service
aesthetics and atmosphere
cleanliness
dozens of other potential pitfalls within your organisation

This is where you should, and will, sweat the small stuff leading to preparedness when guide inspectors visit.

From the moment a booking is made until walking out the door.… everything is covered.

RESPONDING TO NEGATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA REVIEWS

RESTAURANT CONSULT – CHAIN and/or FAST CASUAL

What’s your brand identity?

This service includes visiting multiple outlets as a secret diner and taking a deep dive in to how you present yourself to the world. Processes, presentation and perceived value will be examined. This isn’t about costing a plate. This is about deliverables in the guest experience and serving consistent, delicious food from a vibrant, forward-thinking menu.
