Insights
The questions we answer before every engagement.
Costs, timelines and the parts most agencies will not put in writing. Everything here comes from eight venues we built, ran and in three cases sold — not from a content calendar.
Costs
What does it cost to open a restaurant in Sydney?
Most agencies will not answer this without a call. Here are our actual ranges, what sits inside each one, and — just as importantly — the parts of your budget we have no business quoting.
Timelines
How long does it take to open a venue?
The honest answer depends on what you are compressing. Here is the timeline we have run eight times, what each phase actually needs, and what breaks when you shorten it.
Choosing
Launch partner or marketing agency — which do you need?
These get used interchangeably and they are not the same purchase. Picking the wrong one is expensive in a specific, predictable way.
Exit
How do you prepare a hospitality business for sale?
Most operators start thinking about an exit about twelve months too late. By then the things that raise a valuation take longer than the time left to do them.
Costs
What does restaurant branding cost in Sydney?
Most agencies will not publish a number, which makes it impossible to work out whether you are being quoted fairly. Here are ours, what each figure buys, and the three things that genuinely change the price.
