Opening a restaurant is an expensive business with numerous pitfalls and hazards to avoid. It’s quite unlike starting any other business and it’s never been more challenging. I have opened a number of restaurants myself and know the importance of getting expert help. With that in mind I have created a network (called Mis En Place Network) that include everyone a new restauranteur needs for a successful launch as well as ongoing support. We meet fortnightly and discuss the latest restaurant trends and launches amongst other topics. Members include:
- Chef / restaurant consultant
- Specialist hospitality finance expert who helps raise finance for restaurants
- Restaurant designer
- Restaurant insurer
- Specialist restaurant accountant
- Restaurant property agents
- Procurement experts, ensuring clients get the best possible prices
And of course YellowFin to help with your restaurant branding, graphic design, website design and ongoing marketing. There are more people joining all the time. This network is just one of the ways in which we support our clients – not just with our core services. We see our clients as our partners, our success depends on successful clients and we’re keen to build long-term relationships with each and every one.
