02What we do

Five ways in. One operating standard.

Different owners need different levels of involvement - and carry different appetites for risk. Choose the model, and the scope follows.

Startups - scratch to scale

Typical mandate Pre-launch through first-year handholdingfee band to confirm

You bring the capital and the conviction. We design the business, build the systems, launch the brand and train the team that runs it. Feasibility and competitor study, business modelling, financial model, menu engineering, recipe standardisation, SOPs, POS logic, manpower planning, franchise modelling and investor readiness.

Running business turnaround

Typical mandate Scoped after the audit, never beforefee band to confirm

An unsparing audit of operations and the P&L, followed by a corrective programme across menu, cost, manpower, brand and process - executed with your existing team and measured month on month. A turnaround is not a rebrand: most of the money in a struggling food business is lost in places nobody photographs.

Joint venture

Our concept, your investment, our operating team. Incentives aligned from day one, because we carry the operating risk alongside you rather than handing over a document and leaving the building.

03Our ecosystem of experts

Five specialist firms. One plan. One team accountable.

Most operators assemble a consultant, a designer, a marketer, a vendor and an architect - then spend a year translating between them. DNY brings the whole capability under one roof, working from a single commercial plan.

04How we think

A food business is working when it does three things at once.

01

It earns before it impresses.

The financial model is fixed before the menu is. Format, footprint, price architecture and staffing are each stress-tested against the margin they are required to return.

02

It runs the same on every shift.

SOPs, recipes, POS logic, KRAs and governance are documented so the business runs on process - and so outlet nine performs like outlet one.

03

It can be handed over.

Everything is built to travel - to a new city, a franchisee, a buyer or an investor. A brand you cannot hand over is a job, not a company.

06Build your scope

Running something serious? Get the shape of the engagement in five minutes.

Tell us the format, the stage and what hurts. We come back with the phases, the sequence, and an honest read on whether the work is worth doing at all.

✦ Under 5 min · No commitment · Confidential

Six short questions. Format, stage, timing, needs, context, contact.

A written scope, not a verbal promise - deliverables, phases, timelines.

A 30-minute review call to pressure-test it before anyone commits.

The work, in their words.

Owners talk about consultants in two ways - what was promised, and what actually changed. Hear it from them directly.
