Strategic F+B Advisory for Hospitality-Led Businesses
We advise hotels, restaurants, and hospitality investors on concept strategy, operational performance, and long-term value creation.
Food and beverage is one of the most influential and complex components of a hospitality business. Decisions made early — often before a concept is fully defined — determine not only guest experience, but operational stability and commercial performance.
Dadlani F+B Consultants provides independent, experience-led advisory across the full F+B lifecycle, supporting informed decision-making in high-value, high-risk environments.
Our work spans concept definition, operational advisory, and performance optimization, with each engagement shaped by context, scale, and long-term objectives.
Our Advisory Scope
-
Concept Strategy
Defining clear, market-relevant F+B concepts that align creative intent with operational and commercial realities.
-
Operational Advisory
Translating concept vision into efficient workflows, menus, and service models that perform under real operating conditions.
-
Performance & Optimisation
Assessing existing operations to identify inefficiencies, inconsistencies, and opportunities for sustainable improvement.
Independent. Experienced. Focused.
Our advisory perspective is shaped by executive-level culinary experience combined with extensive exposure to hospitality operations across diverse markets. This allows us to evaluate decisions from both a creative and operational standpoint — without bias toward trends or templates.
We engage selectively, ensuring senior-level involvement and discretion on every assignment.
Our Advisory Framework
We engage through a structured yet flexible framework that supports informed decision-making across the full lifecycle of a hospitality project. Not every engagement requires every stage — each is applied based on context, scale, and objectives.
01/ Discovery
Understanding challenges before solutions
We begin by clarifying objectives, constraints, and success criteria — assessing market conditions, operational realities, and stakeholder priorities before decisions are made.
02/ Concept Definition
Aligning vision, brand, and commercial intent
We shape concepts that balance creative ambition with operational and financial feasibility, ensuring early decisions support long-term performance.
03/ Implementation Oversight
Translating strategy into operational reality
Where required, we provide guidance across kitchen planning, staffing structures, workflows, and systems — ensuring alignment between concept and execution.
04/ Launch & Transition
Supporting readiness and early performance
We advise through pre-opening and launch phases, focusing on operational stability, team preparedness, and early performance indicators.
05/ Ongoing Advisory
Providing continuity as operations evolve
For selected clients, we continue as an independent advisor — offering periodic review, strategic input, and performance assessment over time.
Our Engagement Models

Retained or recurring advisory support, minimum 3 months
