Plant‑Based Culinary Consultancy

The plant-based experience,
your competitive advantage.

We help hotels and restaurants upgrade their plant-based options to boost sales, cut costs, and drive sustainability.

Your veggie customers

Vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian: not the same thing.

Three very different profiles, one and the same offering.

Vegan

Consumes no animal-derived products at all, in food or in anything else they buy.

Vegetarian

Doesn't eat meat or fish, but may still consume other animal products, such as eggs or dairy.

Flexitarian

Mostly eats a plant-based diet, but occasionally includes meat, fish or other animal products.

35-38% of the European population is already part of the veggie group. They have the veto vote.

The veto vote

The person whose opinion carries the most weight when deciding which hotel to stay at or which restaurant to book. If a restaurant doesn't have appealing, quality options, the whole group will go somewhere else.

Restaurants: some simple math

€25 Average ticket per guest
8 people 2 veggie customers a day, each bringing three companions
€200 more a day
€62,400 – €72,000 more a year
Hotels

The veto vote in hotels

For a long holiday, a veggie guest and their companions rarely choose a hotel. Without plant-based options good enough to justify the price, they'd rather book an apartment where they can cook for themselves. If the hotel offers an appealing plant-based selection, it breaks down that reluctance and turns a guest it wouldn't otherwise have had into one on half board or even all-inclusive.

An elevated plant-based offering, across every dining space in the hotel, is a strategic lever for improving RevPAR and TrevPAR.

The figures below are based on a real case: a 4-star hotel in southern Tenerife; 2 veggie guests (the veto vote) each travelling with three adult family members (8 guests in total), booking 4 rooms for a week (6 nights).

Hotels: from zero to half board

€1,828 Weekly half-board rate per room (6 nights)
4 rooms Booked by 2 veggie guests, each bringing three family members
€7,312 more a week, plus a likely TrevPAR boost from spending in the hotel's other dining areas
€380,224 a year, in new guests

Hotels: from zero to all-inclusive

€2,375 Weekly all-inclusive rate per room (6 nights)
4 rooms Booked by 2 veggie guests, each bringing three family members
€9,500 more a week
€494,000 a year, in new guests

Guests who wouldn't have considered booking the hotel if not for the optimised plant-based options.

The context

The context

The tourism industry has a key role in the future of the planet.

“Food is the climate solution hiding in plain sight for the hotel industry. While many chains focus on incremental gains in energy or waste, they're overlooking the single biggest opportunity: what they serve on the plate. Shifting protein sourcing delivers emissions reductions that dwarf most other operational changes, yet requires no capital investment in infrastructure.”
