Driving Growth & Operational Excellence for a Fast-Growing F&B Brand

The F&B industry in the UAE continues to expand, but with growth comes increasing complexity. ThrivePoint has recently partnered with a rising bakery-coffee hybrid brand—originally known for its bakery items and now expanding into coffees, beverages, and other menu offerings. With multiple branches in operation and more planned, the owners recognized the need for a structured, strategic transformation to support sustainable growth.

This is where our Business Transformation Package comes in.

The Project: 6–9 Months of Strategic F&B Optimization

ThrivePoint has been engaged for a 6–9 month transformation project focused on strengthening the foundation of the brand as it prepares for further expansion. The scope includes:

✔ Cost Optimization

Analyzing operational spend across branches to identify:

• Unnecessary expenses

• Over-ordering and wastage

• Vendor and procurement inefficiencies

• High-cost processes that can be streamlined

The goal: reduce costs without compromising quality.

✔ Revenue Growth

Exploring opportunities that directly increase income across all locations:

• Best-selling vs low-performing items

• Menu engineering for higher margins

• Customer flow and service efficiency

• Upsell opportunities and combo strategies

• Optimizing beverage and bakery lines

The aim: maximize branch profitability and prepare for scalable growth.

✔ Standardization Across All Branches

As the brand expands, consistency becomes crucial. ThrivePoint is establishing:

• Standard operating procedures (SOPs)

• Unified quality and service standards

• Standard recipes and measurements

• Branch reporting templates

• Cleanliness & hygiene protocols

This ensures that whether customers visit Branch A or Branch C, they experience the same quality every time.

Preparing for a Centralized Kitchen

With expansion on the horizon, the business is planning to build a centralized kitchen.

ThrivePoint is supporting this shift by:

• Assessing feasibility and cost-benefit

• Identifying which products and prep steps can be centralized

• Structuring workflows for efficiency

• Preparing branch operations to integrate smoothly with a central hub

A centralized kitchen reduces production cost, waste, and inconsistencies—while enabling the brand to scale faster and more profitably.

People First: Staff Development & Capability Building

A strong business requires strong people.

Part of this transformation includes:

• Staff skills assessment

• Barista and service training

• Improved leadership and supervision

• Coaching on productivity and customer service

• Setting performance standards and KPIs

• Building a culture of accountability and teamwork

When employees grow, the business grows. ThrivePoint ensures teams are aligned, equipped, and motivated to deliver excellence daily.
