Restaurant establishment consulting firm
What is a restaurant location consulting firm?
A restaurant location consulting firm supports project developers, brands, and investors in all stages related to the selection, study, and enhancement of a location. Its role is based on a cross-cutting understanding of real estate challenges, technical constraints, and the actual operating conditions of a restaurant.
It analyzes the suitability of a site based on concrete criteria : pedestrian traffic, visibility, accessibility, commercial environment, and complementarity with neighboring businesses. These factors are then compared against the specific requirements of the F&B sector, such as extraction, ventilation, safety, accessibility, and premises compliance.
It also conducts feasibility studies to assess the potential revenue, seating capacity, space organization, and technical needs required for the operation. This approach helps secure the investment, refine the concept, and verify the alignment between the chosen location and the restaurant's business model.
Finally, it supports value creation by assisting with lease negotiation, optimizing occupancy conditions, monitoring fit-out work, and development strategy. The objective is to promote a coherent, operational, and profitable establishment, while enhancing the commercial or asset value of the site.
What is the mission of a restaurant location consulting firm?
A consulting firm studies the analysis of plots, site portfolios, leases, or real estate projects designed to accommodate a restaurant. We connect the site's characteristics, the technical standards required by an F&B establishment, and the economic fundamentals that determine its profitability.
The analysis is based on specific indicators: sector attractiveness, projected footfall, accessibility, orientation, visibility, commercial dynamism, and compatibility with the intended activity. Concurrently, we validate key aspects for restaurants: space utilization, setup conditions, fire safety compliance, accessibility for people with reduced mobility (PRM), and potential challenges related to layout.
We also address all contractual and financial aspects that can influence the viability of the operation: rent setting, lease terms, indexation clauses, distribution of charges, rights associated with the location, exit mechanisms, and the impact of these parameters on the future value of the site.
The analysis continues with an economic and operational study: estimation of potential revenues, space organization, operational capabilities, investment forecasts, risk identification, and development scenarios. This comprehensive overview facilitates decision-making between retaining, transforming, marketing, acquiring, or divesting a premises targeted for a restaurant.

Nous avons été pleinement satisfaits de la mission confiée. Tomorrow Food s'est montré à la fois réactif, efficace et force de proposition, avec une véritable maîtrise des enjeux F&B. Son expertise a été un réel atout pour faire avancer notre projet
Collaborer avec Tomorrow Food, c est s appuyer sur une equipe de vrais pro de la restauration, tres au fait du marche parisien et francais et toujours prets a explorer des approches inedites.
Quand on gère l’offre commerciale des gares de France, on a parfois besoin d’appuis experts. Avec son recul sur les tendances F&B, son audace et son attachement à la cuisine simple et généreuse, Tomorrow Food nous a accompagnés pour repenser ce que pourrait être (et sera) en partie la restauration en gares: une cuisine de terroir, accessible au plus grand nombre, qui complète l’offre de restaurant du quartier et répond aux attentes évolutives des clients. Du menu à la direction artistique, Tomorrow Food a réuni une équipe complète et complémentaire
Souhaitant lancer un laboratoire d’innovation orienté Retail et proposant une offre de restauration, nous nous sommes rapprochés de Tomorrow Food En 2023. Après quelques semaines de réflexion en commun, nous avons imaginé un concept original : le Bistro Hasard situé à proximité de la Gare Saint-Lazare. Lancé en avril 2024, cet établissement propose des offres innovantes autour du jeu. Cette aventure originale nécessitait une communauté complète de visions entre Tomorrow Food et nous, ainsi qu’une confiance mutuelle sans faille. En réunissant ces deux ingrédients, nous avons réussi ensemble à développer un établissement unique en son genre, qui satisfait la clientèle et qui s’impose comme une référence.
De la création du concept à sa définition dans les détails, l'équipe à démontrer un vrai professionnalisme, une réactivité et un savoir faire précieux. Très bonne communication au sein de l'équipe projet ainsi qu'avec notre board. Éléments chiffrés ont été bien construit, cohérents. L'équipe TFA a été a l'écoute et a su se remettre en question pour faire aboutir notre projet.
