The Essence

We Don’t Just Build Restaurants — We Build Stories That Cook.

From concept to creation, we bring together culinary intelligence, design thinking, and storytelling. Every Mint project begins with a question: What does this place want to feel like? Whether it’s a high-energy bar in Guwahati, a boutique hotel in the hills, or a fine-dining space in a metro, we shape brands that connect heart, heritage, and hospitality.

THE ESSENCE

DISCOVERY QUESTIONNAIRE

“ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR NEXT HOSPITALITY PROJECT?”

Every successful concept begins with the right questions. Before we start building your dream restaurant, bar, or hotel — let’s uncover what’s really holding it back. This diagnostic questionnaire helps us understand your current challenges, clarify your goals, and align our consulting scope with your business vision.

Concept Confusion - “What’s the Story?”

Do you have a clearly defined brand concept and positioning?
Is your menu aligned with the space, target clientele, and pricing strategy?
Does your brand name, interiors, and communication tell one cohesive story?
Do you know your Average Per Cover (APC) and target market segment?

Financial Blind Spots - “Numbers Tell Stories Too.”

Do you have a CAPEX and OPEX projection in place?
Have you created a one-year P&L forecast to understand sustainability?
Do you know your ideal food cost %, beverage cost %, and payroll ratio?
Are your pricing and profitability goals realistic for your market?

Inefficient Space Planning - “Form Follows Function.”

Are your kitchen and bar layouts designed by operational specialists or only architects?
Does your current layout allow smooth guest flow and service circulation?
Are side stations, storage, and dishwashing areas placed functionally?
Have you factored in power load, ventilation, gas bank, and drainage in your BOH design?
Have you allocated adequate space for staff changing rooms, dining areas, and toilets to ensure hygiene, comfort, and operational discipline?

Menu Mayhem - “Too Much on the Plate?”

Is your menu engineered for speed, consistency, and kitchen size?
Do you have recipe cards, portioning standards, and cost sheets ready?
Are your beverage and food menus designed to complement each other?
Have you tested the operational feasibility of your menu items?

Operational Drift - “Systems Build Success.”

Do you have SOPs in place for kitchen, bar, HR, and purchase?
Are daily checklists and performance trackers being followed?
Do your staff understand your service philosophy and concept narrative?
Are key departments aligned with measurable KPIs and KRAs?

Talent Gaps & Training Lapses — “Your People Are the Brand.”

Are your teams trained to deliver guest experience consistent with your brand?
Do you have structured onboarding and training modules?
Is leadership communication strong between FOH, kitchen, and management?
Are you investing in long-term staff development or quick replacements?

Compliance & Licensing Hurdles — “Peace of Mind Starts with Paperwork.”

Do you have clarity on required licenses (FSSAI, Excise, Fire, Pollution, etc.)?
Are all your documentation and renewals updated and displayed?
Has your design accounted for safety, fire, and accessibility codes?
Are you aware of local municipal or excise compliance clauses affecting your concept?

Vendor & Procurement Gaps — “Buying Smart Saves More.”

Do you have vendor comparisons for kitchen equipment, crockery, and glassware?
Are your specifications detailed enough to compare apple-to-apple quotes?
Are you using reliable vendors who deliver quality and service support?
Do you track warranty, service, and AMC commitments post-installation?

Branding Disconnects — “Looks Good. Feels Off?”

Do your interiors, signage, menu design, and social media feel connected?
Does your visual identity match your service experience?
Is there a sensory disconnect between what guests see and what they feel?

Marketing & Retention — “After the Opening Night.”

Do you have a marketing calendar and campaign plan?
Are you leveraging social media, PR, and community engagement?
Do you collect and respond to guest feedback regularly?

Opening our restaurant in Kasol was a dream brought to life by the exceptional team at Mint Hospitality Consultancy. From the very first conversation, they brought an intimate, personalized touch to every aspect of the process, ensuring our vision came to life in the most authentic way.

A special shoutout to Chef Arun, whose genius culinary guidance elevated our menu to new heights. Each dish feels like an artful expression of flavors that perfectly complement the serene beauty of Kasol. And then there’s Rajni—her mixology skills are simply unparalleled. Her cocktails are not just drinks; they’re experiences, crafted with such precision and creativity that they leave our guests mesmerized.
Also Chef Ankit, Deepak sir, Rajeev sir are all experts and really professional people. The whole team is a spot on package that believes in delivering the best.

Mint Hospitality didn’t just help us open a restaurant—they helped us create a destination that feels like home. If you’re looking for a consultancy that blends professionalism with a warm, personal touch, Mint is the way to go. Thank you for making our dream come true!

I recently opened my restaurant 34 MASALA LANE, situated in Ghaziabad with the guidance of MINT HOSPITALITY CONSULTANCY. With just an idea and no prior experience in F&B industry, i was very patiently guided by the consultancy. People at Mint are thoroughly professional & passionate on what they do, and took care of all the components involved in opening of the restaurant. Cheers to the team!

One- Stop Solution for entrepreneurs getting into the F&B industry. Got in touch with them in October 2019 to set our café in Kalyani, West Bengal. This organization is so dedicated in its work that you need to see to believe it. From bits and pieces, they have helped us in every possible manner to launch our 1st very own food zone, Café Purani Jeans, Kalyani. They are still standing beside us as a helping hand which only proves how much they care about their clients. MINT is now a part of our family. Looking forward to work with them in the upcoming future.
A special thanks to Mr. Arun Chanda, The Man behind MINT Consultancy, Mr. Deepak Sharma, Mr. Shantanu Mukherjee, Mr. Ankit Dhingra and all the people who were behind our project. Kudos to the team.

Mint HRC lead by my dear friend and guide Mr. Arun Chanda. They are some of the best people in business who can really sort thing for you when you want to set up a restaurant.

I am the founder of Chit Chat Chai™, Indias one of the most innovative Tea Bar concept based in Hyderabad and Mint HRC has had a defining role in our journey of setting the place and getting into operations.

At any given point of time, I would recommend Mr. Arun, Deepak and their efficient team for any jobs related to restaurant and menu engineering. Not just when you are setting a new place up, but also for your menu makeover and more.
