I HELP RESTAURANTS UNCOVER PROFIT LEAKS & INCREASE PROFITABILITY IN 90 DAYs.
HELPING independent restaurants, Hoteliers and hospitality groups transform their food & beverage concepts into guest-loved, operationally efficient, and financially thriving destinations.
With over 20 years of experience across diverse hospitality brands and as a OG Founder & Ex- Owner of Foreign Return in Sydney, I’ve learned that success in F&B isn’t just about great food or stunning design — it’s about creating spaces that resonate deeply with guests, connect with the local community, and drive measurable business outcomes.
Pushing beyond the barriers of conventional Food & Beverage, gG has proven abilities to innovate, and continuously explore the unknown using his extensive knowledge of food & beverage and events management.
Through Gahoi Group, I partner with clients to:
1. Develop innovative F&B concepts that align with brand identity and market needs
2. Optimize operations to improve profitability and streamline workflows
3. Craft guest experiences that inspire loyalty, word-of-mouth, and repeat business
4. Provide coaching and training to elevate team performance and leadership
My work has helped clients achieve significant revenue growth, streamline processes, and build lasting connections with their audience. Whether it’s launching a new concept or revitalising an existing one, I bring a hands-on, results-driven approach to every project with my Do-With consulting.
MISSION
gG’s mission is to bring his expertise, built from both success and oversight, to other similar minded businesses to ensure a successful launch into the marketplace.
