IDEO/LOGY
A combination of 30 + years in the service industry, learning, working and managing an array of concepts from cocktail bars, to Michelin restaurants, clubs and hotel bars.
Mostly trained and worked in London, we have expanded our experience and knowledge abroad in different projects from Moscow, Paris, Beirut, Copenhagen and Ibiza.
We love to kick ideas and thoughts around, there is no difference between bartenders, floor and kitchen staff. We consider everyone can offer something as a team, we are all in it "together".
We believe in role playing, reinventing personal experiences and tailoring an educational & bespoke approach to fit our consultancy projects individually.
We emphasis on “think global, act local”
market research and environmental friendly whereas working closely with our suppliers, producers and chefs and we try to maximize all the potentials of the ingredients we use diversely for the end production.
