Restaurant & Hotel Opening Consultant
Opening a restaurant or hotel is one of the most complex things you can do. We're here to make sure it goes right.
Timelines slip, costs overrun, and critical decisions get made under pressure without the right experience in the room. We've seen it happen and we know how to prevent it, whether you need a strategic coordinator, an operational partner or someone to take full responsibility for the project.
Every stage, from start to launch.

Who We Work With
Investors and developers launching a new restaurant or hotel who need an experienced partner on the ground. Owners preparing for a major opening who want the process properly managed. Hospitality groups moving into new markets who need local knowledge and clear accountability. Established operators who want ongoing strategic support without adding to their headcount.
We take responsibility for the outcome.
When Lumière takes on a project, we take responsibility for the outcome, not just the recommendation. Our team has opened, managed and improved venues across international markets. We know where projects go wrong, what to avoid and how to keep things on track when the pressure builds.
