Thank for your post, Keshavbhagat. I'll move it to the Global Chefs' forum where it'll get the attention you're hoping for.

Good luck!

I guess i cant really comment, but if this isnt a hotel restaurent, from what ive learnt by reading, these places are really hard to run aren't they? thats alot of micro-management you need to have and the logistics and such are gonna be really tough. Good luck though.

Yikes dude, I agree with piracer
I have yet to hear of multi cuisen resturants running very well. Not to Mention you nearly have to be a genuis to have a mulit Cuisien resturant being able to have clear an understandable menu's an tastes that run together

On the Other hand, if you pull it off... you'd go pretty far

although if your resturants opening up that soon, you should really have most of your crew already? Other chefs that you can depend on. god knows i don't think i'd employ a sou chef i didn't know at a Resturant i was just opening up.

Keshav,
Are you insane?
Too much management, no continuity, too much inventory. The venue sounds nice, trendy etc. Start with a solid menu, and add as you build a clientele, and a strong team.
I'd hate to see you belly flop!
Good luck,
Lyne

Actually, I've worked in similar places, and they function fairly well. In the (formerly called Dynasty Hotel S'pore) Marriott there was a Chinese kitchen, a French kitchen, a Malaysian kitchen, the Coffee shop kitchen, and the pastry kitchen. If the Chef, the purchaser, and the bqt. sales team are strong players it works well, but if it's an all-you-can-eat variety type buffet retaurant it'll be a catastrophe.

true, but thats a hotel, in a hotel its kinda expected to have multi-cuisine.
