Opening a restaurant is thrilling, but it’s also full of risk. You have a vision. We help you validate it, shape it, and bring it to life with the right blend of strategy, structure, and support.
Every project begins with Phase 1 and evolves in deliberate steps. Each phase is scoped based on your concept’s complexity, your goals, and your team’s capabilities. We don’t guess at pricing for later phases before Phase 1 is complete. Instead, we give you a clear path forward—with milestones that keep your project on track.
Restaurant concept development is exciting! But behind every successful business is a financial blueprint for startup costs, revenue targets, and operating margins. An effective Profit model tests feasibility and defines your capital needs. From there, we can add deliverables based on your goals, audience, and timeline. You should spend money only on things that get you more money, and our modeling and pitch materials often make the difference between securing adequate funding and facing shortfalls.
This phase ends when you approve the concept. Phase 2 can begin once you secure your site (signed lease or purchase agreement).
Key Deliverable:
Typical Add-ons Include:
Typical Range: ৳1,50,000 – ৳5,50,000
Timeline: 4–6 weeks
Progression Trigger: Concept approval
With your site secured and your concept approved, we move into alignment. This includes collaborating with architects and designers to ensure the space supports your brand and business model. We guide key decisions like layout, throughput, and kitchen footprint to ensure smart, efficient design. This phase ends when construction drawings are submitted for permit.
Key Deliverable:
Typical Range: ৳3,00,000 – ৳6,50,000
Timeline: 4–6 weeks
Progression Trigger: Construction drawings submitted for permit
This is where vision meets operations and construction begins. We engineer your full menu - food, beverages, mocktails, and retail assortments - designed for profitability, guest appeal, and efficient execution. Simultaneously, we build the operational backbone: your tech stack, staffing model, service flow, policies, and training systems. Every recipe is costed, tested, and built for real-world production. As construction progresses, it’s time to hire your leadership team. We will work with your recruiter to interview, filter, and recommend aligned talent to operate your business.
Key Deliverable:
Typical Range: ৳8,00,000 – ৳22,00,000
Timeline: 10–14 weeks
Progression Trigger: Final regulatory approvals (Trade License, BFSA clearance, Fire Safety Certificate, etc.)
This phase ensures your opening team is ready. We embed with your leadership to drive training, hiring, inventory build-out, and final systems setup. You’ll have accountability tools, coaching rhythms, and execution support tailored to your leadership bench. Our goal isn’t to run your restaurant. It’s to help your team run it well—starting day one.
Key Deliverable:
Typical Range: ৳10,00,000 – ৳20,00,000
Timeline: 6-8 weeks
Progression Trigger: Final regulatory approvals (Trade License, BFSA clearance, Fire Safety Certificate, etc.)
Yes. Every project begins with financial modeling and concept validation. Whether or not you add a Business Plan or Concept Book, we won’t quote later phases until the model confirms feasibility and funding needs.
No, but we can often scale or adapt deliverables within a phase. Each phase builds on the last, and skipping would risk structural blind spots. If you’ve already done certain work, we’ll validate it before moving forward.
Concept complexity, service mix, and owner readiness drive cost. A single-unit fast casual startup might fall at the low end. A multi-daypart, full-service concept with retail and bar might require more support.
You’ll be led by a senior partner and project manager, supported by kitchen designers, ops specialists, culinary leads, and other experts matched to your needs.
Each phase has a defined “progression trigger.” For example, you must sign off on the concept and secure a site before we begin Phase 2. These gates help ensure your money is well spent.
We start with a deposit based on the approved scope. From there, we bill monthly in proportion to projected timeline. If scope changes, we’ll agree together how to amend terms.
Yes. We often bolt on landlord pitches, site vetting, or advisory sessions at key points. These are scoped separately and don’t replace the core phases.
We can layer scalability into each phase. In Phase 1, we’ll model variable labor and revenue assumptions by market. In Phase 3, we’ll adjust pricing structures and menu strategy by geography to protect margins.
You get structure, clarity, and a development path that sets your restaurant up for a strong launch.
