Hospitality consulting

Anything you need, we do.

Lightspeed Group is a hands-on consulting firm for restaurants, bars, hotels and hospitality groups. One team across concept, opening, operations, people and growth, so you stop juggling a dozen vendors and start moving.

What we do

One partner for the whole operation.

Hospitality breaks when the pieces do not talk to each other. We cover every piece, and we stay in the room until it works.

01

Concept & brand

Positioning, naming, menu direction, design briefs and the story that makes a room feel like somewhere.

02

New openings

Timelines, budgets, permits, build-out coordination, hiring and a soft open that does not feel like one.

03

Operations

Systems, SOPs, scheduling, inventory and the daily rhythm that makes a restaurant run without you in it.

04

Food & beverage

Menu engineering, costing, sourcing and bar programs built around margin as much as taste.

05

People & training

Recruiting, onboarding, service standards and manager development. Great rooms are built on great teams.

06

Vendors & facilities

Cleaning, maintenance, repairs and supply, sourced, scoped and managed so you deal with one point of contact.

07

Finance & profitability

Prime cost control, budgeting, P&L reviews and the numbers that tell you what to fix first.

08

Marketing & guest experience

Launch campaigns, local presence, reviews, loyalty and the small details guests actually remember.

09

Growth & multi-unit

Second locations, group playbooks, brand standards and the infrastructure to scale without slipping.

Why Lightspeed

Operators first. Consultants second.

We are not here to hand you a binder and disappear. We work alongside owners and managers, in the kitchen and on the floor, until the changes hold.

If it is not on our list, tell us. Chances are we have solved it, or we know exactly who has.

  • Hands-on, in your venue, not just in a slide deck
  • A single point of contact for every workstream
  • Fixed scopes and clear pricing, with no surprise invoices
  • A vetted network of vendors, chefs and specialists
