What does hospitality market-entry consulting cover?

Assessing whether a concept transfers to a North American market, adapting the offer, format and price architecture to local expectations, evaluating candidate markets and trade areas, identifying operating, franchise or development partners, and coordinating the commercial workstreams through opening and early trading.

How does foodservice business development in the USA differ from retail?

Foodservice decisions are made by operators, chefs, group buyers and distributors serving them, on different cycles and specification criteria than retail. Volumes, pack formats, consistency of supply and service capability often matter more than shelf presentation, and the commercial approach has to be built accordingly.

Does MAG operate restaurants or hotels?

No. MAG advises and coordinates. Operating, licensing, real-estate, construction and regulatory matters are handled by the brand and by qualified independent professionals retained for the relevant jurisdiction.

What is assessed before recommending a market?

Concept fit and differentiation, labour and supply realities, price positioning against comparable local offers, partner availability, and the brand's capacity to support a market at distance. We do not forecast guaranteed performance.
