What We Do

Curating a destination for meals and entertainment.

Food Hall Programming & Development

Food halls are not a trend or a fad, they are an evolution in dining out, taking cues from the shared economy model. From conceptualization and planning to deal structuring to vendor curation, our team has been tapped by property owners and developers worldwide to create and execute successful food hall operating models.

By drawing on our relationships in the culinary, entertainment and architectural worlds, we are able to provide unparalleled experience in Food Hall programming and development:

  • Design and space planning
  • Branding, theming and merchandising
  • Venue operator underwriting and selection
  • Financial proforma development
  • Management and license agreements
  • Vendor curation

"The partners at Colicchio Consulting are America’s foremost food hall consultants" - Garrick Brown, Cushman and Wakefield

Pairing the best restaurant concept with top real estate.

Thoughtful Restaurant Curation

Owners and developers tap our team to identify, select and engage a well known, high-quality chef or restaurant partner that will be a project differentiator and additive to foot traffic, surrounding retail/office rents, occupancy, and ADR.

We are often engaged to manage the process from initial financial analysis to local market due-diligence to chef procurement to the final deal structuring and underwriting. Our current clients include:

  • Hotels and Resorts
  • Shopping Centers
  • Mixed-Use Developments
  • Universities
  • Town Centers
  • Private Clubs

Partnerships

Our team remains available to serve as a partner in review of a property owner’s overall food & beverage portfolio. A holistic analysis by our team includes:

  • A review of all current deal structures between landlord and food & beverage professionals
  • An analysis of the most current state of various food & beverage deal terms
  • Overview of current local, regional, national, or international F&B market for potential realignment
  • Lead or support in solicitation, formulation of contracts, and negotiations with F&B operators
Events made memorable by stimulating the senses with unique performance, food and beverage collaborations.
