Studio Operator · F&B & Retail · Japan
You delegate.
We operate.
Studio Operator takes on the day-to-day operation of a venue you own in Japan. You delegate, we operate, you track the results.
The reality
0107
Good projects don't fail on paper.
They fail after opening: no local manager, no systems, nobody watching the numbers day to day.
Close to a third of F&B venues in Japan close within their first year.
The offer
0207
You own it. We run it.
We take on the day-to-day operation of a venue that belongs to you: team, service, systems, numbers. You keep ownership and the vision; we carry the running of it.
The starting point
0307
We start with an audit, not a promise.
Before any Mandate, we run a bounded Operating Audit across six axes. You get a clear diagnosis and a recommended cadence. Then you decide.
Brand & positioning
Menu, drinks offer & food cost
P&L & cost structure
Team & service
Customer experience & reputation
Supply chain & systems
Two to three weeks. Fixed price. No commitment beyond it.
On the floor when it counts. On the numbers every day.
Who it's for
0407
Two situations where we take over.
Continuity
Your venue is already running. You're stepping back: relocating, starting a second project, spending less time on site. It has to keep the same level without you on the floor.
Opening, then operating
Your venue doesn't exist yet. We steer the opening (location, build-out, hiring, launch) then move straight into running it. No break, no change of team midway.
One condition: you own the venue. We never take equity. You delegate the operation, not the ownership.
How it works
0507
There when it counts.
We hire or validate a local manager, stay close at the decisive moments, and build the systems and dashboards that carry the rest. You don't run the floor day to day. Neither do we: that's by design, not by default.
What you get
0607
A manager, hired or validated.
Remote supervision, on site when it counts.
Systems: SOPs, dashboards, KPI tracking.
Monthly reporting, no surprises.
One point of contact, direct escalation.
A network activated when it serves you.
The deal
0707
Simple, aligned.
A fixed monthly fee for the steering, plus a share of performance.
We only really win when your venue wins.
Opening gets you in. Operating keeps you there.
