Tavolino

What the Client Said:

"...We saw the real value of Ed and KC on site, in sometimes-unexpected ways. They would walk past a tradesman doing something that didn't look right, or a piece of equipment would arrive, and they would raise a question that no one else thought of. The Realfood guys saved us from a few big mistakes, and they were also creative problem solvers in the field. "

-Graham Sillaman, Tavolino

When the owner of Sienna restaurant in Mashpee, Ma decided to expand from his first highly successful restaurant, he made the decision to add to the resources he already had on his management team to ensure smart, get-it-right-the-first-time growth. Graham Sillaman selected RealFood Consulting to plan and develop many aspects of his restaurant slated for the new Patriots Place destination shopping and entertainment venue in Foxboro, Mass.

Over the next twelve months, RealFood worked with ownership to complete a range of deliverables, culminating in the operating assumptions and back of the house functionality that would lay the groundwork for a successful start up. RealFood developed a kitchen design based on anticipated production loads, completed full CAD layout, executed an extensive bid process leveraging RealFood's vendor relations to deliver best pricing to ownership and oversaw installation and start up.

At the end of the day, RealFood's delivered a physical plant that was able to execute at a top level under the range of business levels associated with a location attached to a 69,000 seat football stadium. RealFood's extensive operations experience enables us to foresee the real-world challenges of unique locations and operations to ensure a smooth start up and lay a path for future growth and flexibility.
