Foodservice and Hospitality Consulting for Premium Food Programmes

Who this is for

Hotels and restaurant groups that want a signature product range or a more reliable supply of premium items.

What we do

Culinary Innovation

We help you create new products and menu concepts that fit your brand and your customers, from the idea and the recipe brief to samples and production trials with suitable manufacturers.

Signature Dessert Programs

A signature dessert or pastry range can set a venue apart. We help you define the range, find the right producers, agree specifications and pack formats and plan supply so that the quality is the same every time.

Airline Catering Solutions

Airline catering has its own demands: portion sizes, shelf life, packaging that works in galleys, strict specifications and reliable delivery. We help source and develop products that meet them and work with the suppliers and caterers involved.

Coffee Shop Product Development

We develop and source the food that goes with the coffee: pastries, bakery items, snacks and seasonal products, designed for your customers and your operation.

Restaurant Product Sourcing

We find and qualify suppliers for restaurants and groups, from specialty ingredients to ready to serve items, including European products that are not easy to get in the US.

Common problems we help solve

• Products that look good in samples but are not consistent in volume.

• A premium range that needs a supplier who can meet food safety and US regulatory requirements.

• Specifications for airlines or hotels that producers do not understand.

• Packaging and portion formats that do not suit the operation.

• Supply that is not reliable during peak seasons.

• Not knowing where to find producers for a specific European specialty.

How we work

1. Discover. We learn your brand, customers, operation, volumes and budget.

2. Design. We define the product concept, the specification and the commercial model.

3. Source. We find and qualify the producers, request samples and negotiate terms.

4. Launch. We coordinate trials, first deliveries and quality checks, including US regulatory steps for imported products.

5. Scale. We extend the range, add locations or seasons and review quality and cost with you.

Frequently asked questions

Can you develop a signature dessert or product for our venue?

Yes. We help you define the product, find and qualify the producer, and coordinate samples and production so that you receive the same quality every time.

How does airline catering sourcing work?

Airlines and caterers set detailed specifications for taste, portion, shelf life and packaging, and require reliable delivery. We help find suppliers that can meet them and coordinate trials and approvals.

What do hospitality groups need from a supplier?

Consistency, food safety certification, reliable lead times, suitable pack formats and clear documentation. For imported products, buyers also expect the supplier to meet US regulatory requirements.

Can you source European specialty products for a US venue?

Yes. We find European producers, check that they are qualified and registered where needed, and coordinate import and delivery.

Do you work with small producers?

Yes. Many premium hospitality products come from smaller specialists, and we help them prepare to supply larger buyers.

Can this be private label?

Often. Many hospitality brands put their own name on products made by specialist producers. See our Private Label and Product Development service.
