Episode 7:
For the past few years, F&B consultants have been seeing the industry with less of a holistic focus than before. Providing the the right service for clients also involves knowing whether the expertise they want is also the one that they really need. Consultants´ experience and technical knowledge is paramount, but clients also have to be well-informed to correctly identify the right expertise required for the job at hand. Having the knowledge to choose the right advisor when establishing a new business is a core principle for any F&B operator. As such, in a changing environment where the target area and audience is never the same, finding the right consultants who, instead of repeating a standardized procedure, comes up with a new and fitting approach, can more often than not bring out the best in a newly introduced concept.
In this episode, Will and Johnny discuss what F&B operators need to know when looking for the right expert, and how important it is for operators to recognize early on when a new project is looking to fail instead of continuing to push through with it.
