Dear Friend of Urban Eats Restaurant Consulting Group:
As CEO of Urban Eats Restaurant Consulting Group, I believe that restaurants, bars and gathering places provide more than just food and beverage. With the right concept, design and commitment they can be a catalyst in the revitalization of urban centers and radiant anchors of mixed use communities. If you share this philosophy I want to work with you in the conceptualization, design and construction of your own urban project.
Given today’s highly competitive food and beverage market restaurant owners need an edge. Urban Eats Restaurant Consulting Group provides that “edge” by generating unique concepts, hip & eclectic interior designs, fresh menu ideation and vibrant brand collateral. Too much monetary and aesthetic capital is lost building the “status quo” when the exceptional is within reach.
Developers, architects, urban planners and municipalities spend valuable time and resources developing mixed use & compact urbanism plans. Restaurants, special event facilities, cafes, and other gathering places figure predominantly in many of these plans. Because of their intensive infrastructure and code compliance impacts these food and beverage venues must be carefully evaluated during the design phase. Urban Eats Restaurant Consulting can provide consulting expertise to aid planners, developers & operators in the following ways:
Consulting Services:
- Conceptualize, Design and Build Original Restaurant & Bar concepts that champion the “feel” and integrity of a community.
- Feasibility and Impact Studies identifying potential restaurant sites, construction challenges, interior spacing & sizing, infrastructure needs, ideal tenant mix.
- Local-Friendly Design Attributes that produce a “sense of place” and attract authentic, homespun restaurant food concepts and operators.
- Kitchen Designs & Equipment Specification for the educational, hospitality and corporate sectors.
- Mixed Use & Commercial Development Consulting analyzing impact on development with regards to signage, patio-scapes, waste removal, odor and grease exhaust, noise,parking, pedestrian flows, etc.
I am open-minded, knowledgeable, flexible, and enthusiastic, with a successful track record in resurging communities. I can assist you in fulfilling your own vision. Let’s talk about the next steps we can take together!
Sincerely,
Todd Semrau, CEO
