Eye HospitalityYour third eye
Let our restaurant expertise take all the fuss away. We take restaurants and hotel F&B from the first idea to a full room: concept, identity and menus, then the web design, social media and marketing that keep the seats warm.

Expertise
Eight disciplines,
one team
Rather than relying on multiple disconnected suppliers, we bring every discipline together under one team, ensuring your feasibility, brand, commercial strategy and operational plans are fully aligned from concept through to opening.
Brand Identity Development
We build distinctive restaurant brands that bring together concept, story, personality and visual identity, creating a clear and memorable experience that guests connect with from the first impression to the final plate.
Concept Development
The idea before the fit-out. Positioning, guest journey, service style and the story that makes a room worth crossing town for.
F&B Master Planning
We design F&B strategies that turn spaces into thriving destinations - balancing outlet mix, dayparts, guest demand and commercial performance to ensure every space has a clear purpose and delivers lasting value.
Menu Engineering
Costed, categorised and laid out to sell. We rebuild menus around margin and preference, not habit.
Financial Feasibility
Market study, investment case and P&L modelling, so you know the numbers work before the first dollar is committed.
Franchise Manuals
Operational documentation that lets a concept be repeated faithfully by people who were never in the original room.
Operational Management
Standards, rosters, training and audit. The unglamorous discipline that keeps a good opening good in year three.
Social Media Management
Content calendars, shoots and community management that keep a venue present between visits.
It’s been a while you are here,
but no one knows you yet?
Show the world who you are. We build the identity, the room and the channels that bring your customers to the table, and give them a reason to come back.
Let’s fix thatHow we work
Look. Plan.
Make. Hold.
No deck before we have walked the floor. Four stages, each one signed off before the next begins.
- 01
Look
We walk the site, read the numbers and eat the food. No proposal before we understand the room.
- 02
Plan
Concept, commercial model and a written scope with dates attached. You approve before anything is made.
- 03
Make
Identity, menus, manuals, site and channels, produced by the same team that wrote the strategy.
- 04
Hold
We stay through opening and past it, auditing standards until the operation runs without us.
Journal
Notes from the floor
What we are seeing in New Zealand hospitality: openings, menus, margins and the things that quietly decide whether a room works.
The people
Who you will
actually work with
Small on purpose. The people who pitch are the people who deliver. Nobody gets handed to a junior after signing.
