Consulting assignment for the opening of a restaurant within a facility still under construction
The Department of Alpes Maritimes, eager to invigorate the Vésubie territory, decided to invest for an opening in 2016 in the new thermal resort of Berthemont-les-Bains. Covering an area of 4,000 m2, the complex was entrusted under a public service delegation to the VALVITAL group, which completely renovated the facilities that had aged over time. I was engaged for a consulting assignment to open a restaurant within this facility, which was still under construction.

The scope of the Mission
Concept definition
Objective: To define a concept for a restaurant that adheres to the constraints of the Berthemont-les-Bains thermal establishment and to implement all necessary actions for the delivery of a “turnkey” establishment: trained personnel, referenced suppliers, and established procedures.
Once again, I faced the challenge of managing an opening project. This time, with a heightened level of complexity since my recommendations would have concrete implications on the construction work to be carried out.
I established a project management timeline, which I submitted to the regional management, giving me a clear view of the strategy to adopt.
I also had the pleasure of collaborating with high-level service providers like the Chevalier/Triquenot architectural firm, Maison Solomas for layout and decoration, and ECHR for the technical kitchen aspects.
This was a step up in terms of establishment creation. From the construction site to serving the first customer, this experience allowed me to reinforce the skills I had developed while working with the Theatres.
