#1TripAdvisor position achieved within two months of opening

The Chicken Bar opened in October 2018 with a simple operating belief: guests should feel genuinely served, never processed. By improving the welcome, attentiveness and consistency of the experience, the restaurant reached Amsterdam’s number-one TripAdvisor position by the second week of December.

Our approach

Observe deeply.
Decide clearly.
Execute precisely.

  1. 01
    See the operation as it is

    We look beyond reports and assumptions to understand the real guest journey, workflow and pressure points.

  2. 02
    Define the outcome

    We translate findings into clear priorities, ownership and a practical route from current reality to target performance.

  3. 03
    Build it into the business

    We work with the people responsible for delivery, embedding standards that remain useful after the engagement ends.

He sees what
others miss.
