Through my consulting and training services, I offer my expertise to support the development of projects in the catering, restaurant, and bed and breakfast sectors. I can assist you at the launch or renewal stage of an establishment.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles in a restaurant's life at different stages. Waitress, kitchen assistant, manager, and founder, the richness of these experiences allows me to understand the challenges related to creating and managing a living space. I am eager to share them to facilitate the realization and development of projects.

At the launch stage of your project, I will help you with:
- Idea conception
- Financial projection
- Legal and administrative aspects
- Space layout
- Marketing strategy
- Daily management plan

At the stage of revitalizing your existing business, I will advise you on:
- Menu redesign
- Strategies for increasing turnover
- Organizational optimization
- Cost control

Support is personalized according to your needs after an audit of your project.

I look forward to discussing with you!

    Grenaille is a restaurant and catering service for businesses and individuals. An entrepreneurial adventure I undertook after Covid. Its originality was the concept of table d'hôtes. Clients were groups of 10 to 25 people who privatized the venue with a custom menu, a dedicated server, and an atmosphere tailored to their desires.

    A very comprehensive experience ranging from business creation, purchase of a business, renovation work, concept development, customer acquisition, marketing, communication, daily management of the venue, team recruitment, and customer relations, up to the resale of the business.
