about plate & glass
Plate & Glass is a consulting company that offers support to restaurants, venues, and hospitality-driven brands for operations, events and marketing.
Full-Service Hospitality Consulting & Support
From restaurants to hotels, new food and beverage products, and everything in between, our full-service hospitality consulting and support can lend a helping hand at any stage of your business. You may have ideas in your mind waiting to be brought to life, or, you’re an open concept needing some love streamlining existing operations. Whatever the case, our team is available to lend a helping hand.
Event Sales Department Systems & Structure
It starts with one of two scenarios:
(1) You're opening a new restaurant (or venue) and you have ideas, dreams, and goals for your private dining, events, and catering department, but you're not sure where to begin. Plate & Glass will take the time to learn about your business, assess your goals, and assist you with building your infrastructure from the ground up. From sales to coordination and event execution, we apply systems, structure, and "steps of service" for your employees. We'll also work with your culinary and beverage teams to formulate menus, packages, and pricing that fits the space, flow, and design.
(2) Your sales department has been running like a well-oiled machine, ready to take on more volume, or perhaps it's a squeaky wheel in need of some grease. Plate & Glass can reinvigorate your existing department, bringing fresh, new ideas and business practices with the ultimate goal of increasing revenue for your business. We'll analyze and evaluate current practices, and advise you on how to make your business more efficient and profitable. Whether you need a simple extension of what's already working, or a total department makeover, we've got you covered.
Hospitality Brand Development & Industry Networking
There's nothing more exciting than developing a new brand or product. The world is your oyster as you determine what you want it to be, how you want it to make people feel, and what separates it from the competition. We'll work with your team to design creative operations and marketing plans – including implementing systems and top-of-the-line restaurant technology platforms, curating social media calendars, and branding strategies. Our network runs far and wide. We’ll also work to connect you with trusted industry influencers and supporters who can help advance the growth and awareness of your brand.
