Our Story
Dear Business Owners,
As fellow F&B entrepreneurs, we know firsthand the challenges of starting and running a food and beverage business. We’ve been where you are—full of ambition, but soon faced with unexpected setbacks, hidden fees, and unreliable contractors. It takes a lot of experience from multiple industries to smoothly set up a F&B premise, one needs to understand the fundamentals of QPs, LEWs, Construction works. It can be overwhelming, being new to some of these information. We had previously consulted other F&B licensing consultants, only to have them give us a refund as they were only well versed in the application process, and not the technical know-how on how to properly set up a F&B premise as they themselves do not own a F&B business. That’s why we created F&B Guru: to help you avoid these costly mistakes and simply this process.
Takeover fees from landlords often come with promises of working equipment, like exhausts and air conditioning, only for you to find hidden issues after proper testing—leading to unexpected repair costs. What seemed like a smooth setup quickly becomes a financial burden.
Dealing with tenancy agreements can also be tricky. Some landlords collaborate with contractors who overcharge and push unnecessary work. We’ve seen fees marked up tenfold, sometimes even leading to legal battles. Without the right guidance, these inflated costs can set back your business several months.
Many experienced F&B owners skip using interior designers due to high markups, opting for main contractors instead. While this saves money, transparency is key. At F&B Guru, we recommend our trusted vendors that have been working with us for numerous projects, our open-quote system ensures you get the best price and service without hidden charges or unnecessary expenses.
We started this journey because we’ve lived through these frustrations ourselves. Our mission is to help you navigate through the process smoothly, so you can focus on what really matters—building a successful business. Let us handle the headaches, so you don’t have to.
