Business planning:
Putting together a business plan can be a daunting prospect. Gochef can provide significant help in putting together. A written business plan for a new business seeking start up capital or for an existing business looking to raise finance to fund growth.

Site selection:
Selecting a good property at the right price can be the difference between success and failure. We have good relationships with a number of property agents, from the bar & restaurant specialists to small independents, and often hear about sites before they officially come on the market. We also have extensive experience of evaluating sites based on the myriad of different factors involved – premiums, rental value, location, site history, existing and potential layouts to name but a few. And of matching a concept to a site (and vice versa).

Concept development:
We have experience of setting up and operating a diverse mix of concepts, from 'Eccentric English restaurant and bar' to 'Authentic Mexican'. With our clients' venues we apply the same attention to detail as to our own, to ensure that every aspect of the business (food and drink offer, service style, atmosphere and music to name but a few) all tie together and produce a strong, coherent overall product that appeals to the desired target market and is viable in terms of GP, staff % and profit target.

Food concept:
We've worked with a range of food operations – consistently winning critical praise and awards as we've done so. We've created menus, hired and trained kitchen teams, worked with specialist designers to design kitchens from scratch, sourced products and developed food concepts that have appealed to a range of different customers. Always ensuring that the food offer fits with the rest of the business, stands out from the competition, is practical for staff and the physical constraints of the site and is commercially viable in terms of pricing, GP, staff % and profit targets.

Drinks list:
We have a proven track record of creating drinks concepts that appeal as much to the drinks connoisseur as to the man in the street. From the menu to the training and delivery of the drinks we make sure your drinks offering is of the highest standard, fits with the rest of the business and can achieve desirable GP, staffing and profit targets.
