A VIBRANT STREETFOOD-BASED CULTURE

We worked with Steigenberger team’s House of Beats brand, a vibrant lifestyle brand under the Steigenberger Hotels umbrella, to develop the full food and beverage concept for their first resort project in Saudi Arabia. This dynamic collaboration involved in-depth market research and the creation of curated street food concepts that resonate with the tastes, trends, and cultural expectations of a new generation of travelers.

SCOPE OF WORK

Create the full F&B concept for the hotel’s first entry into KSA.

The Remix Food Hall was conceptualized by our team to seamlessly offer street food experience across all day dining areas of the hotel. The creative narrative of F&B offerings were not only trend-forward but also fully aligned with the brand’s core identity and the overarching vision of Steigenberger Hotels. This project offered us a unique opportunity to explore Saudi Arabia’s evolving culinary landscape and the modern guest experience. We’re proud to have contributed to shaping an exciting, relevant, and culturally grounded F&B experience for this groundbreaking resort.

Ekaterina Kopanitsa, Twice Café Dubai

We chose RSI because of its extensive restaurant industry experience and proven track record of successful projects. Our meeting with Gabrielle reinforced our decision as we witnessed her passion for her work and expertise. By selecting RSI, we have gained valuable insights into the local restaurant industry in the UAE. This has been helpful in refining our restaurant concept and identifying the optimal location for its establishment. The team at RSI demonstrates tremendous expertise. We appreciate their efforts in taking the time to truly understand our business, industry, and project objectives. They have leveraged their knowledge and skills to design and implement the best possible solution.

Sabina Saldanha, Samakna

We chose RSI based on the many successful restaurants they helped launch. RSI assisted us with Menu Engineering and Staff Training. Each service provided by them was excellent – the tastings, exploring different ingredients, learning the secrets behind assembling burgers, and all the smallest of details. RSI has always been swift with their response and understood every task clearly while meeting all project deadlines. We would definitely recommend RSI for being very supportive, insightful, patient, and professional and for helping us through our journey.

Alya Alkaabi, Monkit AUH

We were looking for the best restaurant consultancy firm in the UAE and Restaurant Secrets Inc. caught our eye. Our journey with RSI started with a simple query, and their swift response was a good indication of how well the company was structured. With RSI, we developed the concept of our brand new QSR business and also a strong, potential long-term partnership. We loved the result of their Menu Development service. The team ensured the project met the set timelines with timely delivered milestones throughout the project, along with flexibility in accommodating our extra last-minute requests. I would recommend RSI without hesitation, especially Gabrielle F. Mather for treating Nine50 as their own business and for doing everything they could to make it successful.

I chose to work with RSI due to their vast experience in the field and that they have worked on many great projects before. The service I received from RSI was excellent. Everyone that we worked with was very helpful, friendly and easygoing. From the first consultation with Gabrielle, she was very interested in the concept, she was able to give me a clear picture of what we needed. She offered valuable advice, was a great listener and took everything I said into consideration. Chef Brian was very knowledgeable about all items we were looking to develop, he trained our team members and made everything smooth and comfortable for everyone, we also worked closely with Nuwan in the baking section, he even visited our outlet in order to offer further training. With his help we were able to perfect the bread items. He was very resourceful in his craft. I would recommend RSI to anyone looking for help with their menu engineering as they made the process really smooth and the results are great!

I previously worked with RSI for an older project that I had done, their level of attention and professionalism is one of the reasons I decide to use them once again for my latest project. I found the techniques used to develop my new menu interesting and was pleased with how special our menu ended up being. They are great at listening to the client’s needs and care about the identity of the brand, they are also great with the guidance they give to the clients during the process. The consultants made me feel at ease and I was happy with the support I received.
