F&B Industry Business Consultant Needed
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Business Consultant in the Food & Beverage industry who can help us build a complete business plan and support the launch of a new food concept. The consultant will guide us through every step: from financial planning and business model to choosing the right location and preparing for operations.
Responsibilities
Develop a full business plan tailored to either:
A Mediterranean restaurant in New York, or
A bakery in Miami with a focus on custom orders.
Create detailed financial projections (initial investment, operating costs, revenue forecast, cash flow, ROI, break-even analysis).
Conduct market and competitor analysis for both New York and Miami.
Provide location guidance: identify suitable spaces, assess rental terms, and advise on site selection.
Outline legal and regulatory requirements (licenses, health & safety, incorporation).
Suggest operational setup: equipment, suppliers, menu pricing strategy, and staffing needs.
Deliver a plan that can be used for investors, banks, or SBA funding.
Requirements
Proven experience in restaurant or bakery consulting (portfolio of successful projects is a strong plus).
Solid knowledge of the U.S. food & beverage industry, especially in New York or Miami markets.
Strong financial expertise: ability to create clear investment plans, budgets, and profitability models.
Understanding of restaurant operations, customer acquisition, and market positioning.
Excellent communication and presentation skills.
Knowledge of local regulations (permits, licenses, food safety).
What We’re Looking For
A consultant who can combine strategy and numbers — someone creative enough to shape the concept and analytical enough to prepare investor-ready financials.
