Start-up & Brand Support

A strong launch starts with a clear food vision. I help new and growing businesses turn an idea into a menu, a brand and an operation that works from day one.

The challenge

New concepts often open with a great idea but an untested menu, unclear costs and no way to learn quickly from customers. Fixing that after launch is far more expensive.

What I do

  • Concept creation & idea generation – shaping your idea into a food concept with a clear identity.

  • Brand positioning & food vision alignment – making sure the food tells the same story as your brand.

  • Menu review & refresh – a fresh look at what's working, what isn't and what's next.

  • Supply chain & product review – checking suppliers and products are right for your concept and volumes.

  • Food & labour cost analysis – realistic costings so the numbers work before you open.

  • Launch support & feedback loop design – hands-on support at launch and a simple way to act on customer feedback.

Results

  • 16% food-cost reduction while launching the Compass Marketplace concept across Norway, Sweden and Finland

  • Das Island, UAE: opened new restaurants and a CPU facility for an operation feeding up to 10,000 personnel daily
