Tailored hands-on support to grow your business.
We help independent restaurants, bars, and cafés build operations that work, create experiences that matter, and achieve the success they deserve.
Running a hospitality business shouldn't feel like you're doing it alone.
Atelier Sawyer partners with startups and smaller hospitality businesses at every stage—from your first day of trading to strategic expansion and everything in between. With over 30 years of hands-on experience in kitchens, dining rooms, and behind the bar, we understand your challenges because we've lived them.
We specialise in the things that actually move the needle: operational excellence, guest experience design, menu engineering, market positioning, and profitability. Our approach is practical, not theoretical. We work alongside you to build strategies you can implement right away.
We also offer flexible subscription consulting (Plan, Run, Grow, Promote, Develop, Digitise) plus bespoke project-based support for everything from pre-opening setup to turnarounds, with creative and digital services available when you need them.
