Nottingham and Nottinghamshire
Our work in Mapperley, Sherwood and West Bridgford spans a sushi counter, a chicken diner and a 30-seat dining room. Explore how Rawsha took shape in West Bridgford.
Nottingham city, including Hockley and the Lace Market. Across the county: Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark and Sherwood, and Rushcliffe. This includes Arnold, Beeston, Hucknall, Newark-on-Trent, Retford and Worksop.
Derby and Derbyshire
A shopping-centre counter and a high-street restaurant need different menus, staffing and service speeds. The Rikshaw case study follows the move from Sherwood to Derbion in Derby.
Derby city, Amber Valley, Bolsover, Chesterfield, Derbyshire Dales, Erewash, High Peak, North East Derbyshire and South Derbyshire, including Belper, Buxton, Glossop, Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Matlock and Swadlincote.
Leicester and Leicestershire
Considering a takeaway lease? Bring a typical delivery order and the floor plan. We can review how collection, delivery riders and dine-in guests would share the same entrance and kitchen.
Leicester city, Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley and Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire, and Oadby and Wigston, including Loughborough, Coalville, Hinckley, Market Harborough and Melton Mowbray.
Lincoln and Lincolnshire
For an existing restaurant, bring your busiest and quietest trading weeks. Those figures help us review menu costs and staffing against the sales your site actually makes.
Lincoln, Boston, East Lindsey, North Kesteven, South Holland, South Kesteven and West Lindsey, including Grantham, Gainsborough, Sleaford, Spalding, Louth and Skegness.
Northamptonshire
Opening a first café or restaurant? Bring your sample menu and two possible sites. We can compare how each layout would affect prep, seating and the number of people needed on shift.
North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire, including Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Daventry.
Rutland
For a smaller dining room, start with one service: the number of tables, time guests spend at each, average order and the kitchen’s capacity.
Oakham, Uppingham and the surrounding Rutland villages.
Birmingham, Sheffield and Burton upon Trent
We also welcome projects in Birmingham (West Midlands), Sheffield (South Yorkshire) and Burton upon Trent (Staffordshire). If you are comparing cities for a restaurant investment, bring the proposed rent, opening budget and target customer for each site.
