100+ venues, 50+ brands, one standard

Table & Fork has worked with United Coffee House Rewind, Olive Bar & Kitchen, Cha Masala, Benji, Dhunki, The Gypsy, Marine Drive Club & Courtyard, Hyper Local, The Patio's Kitchen, Masquerade, Cult House, The Dalal Street, Rabbit Hole, Ah So Yum and many more. Every project covered some or all of concept, menu, bar, kitchen design, recruitment and launch.

The portfolio spans the formats that make up the Indian F&B market: full-service restaurants and fine dining, cafes and bakeries, microbreweries and taprooms, cocktail bars and lounges, quick-service outlets and cloud kitchens, and hotel food and beverage. Projects range from a single 1,200 square foot cafe in Pune to multi-outlet brands opening across Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Mumbai.

What the work has in common is the method. Each venue started with a proof of concept that tested desirability, feasibility and sustainability. The menu and bar programme were trialled and costed before the kitchen was drawn. Licensing began in the first week. The team was recruited and trained on documented recipes and service standards, and we stayed on for a year after opening to adjust the menu and systems to the real sales mix.
