An international standard for events in France
Organizers in France don't need another motivator: they need the creator of the Restaurant Model Canvas translating Prime Cost engineering, EBITDA optimization and waste control into language that owners, chefs and executives in France can execute the following Monday.
Every keynote adapts to the France food market: local context, sector figures and applicable cases — not a generic talk translated.
The local market
What's happening with restaurants in France
HORECA events across the region lack conferences on OPERATIONAL ENGINEERING and replicable systems for sustainable growth. Seasoned operators—operations directors, multi-unit owners—attend events covering menu trends or generic motivation, not how to engineer real EBITDA lift, control Prime Cost variance, or scale without margin erosion. They face real pressure: expand without losing margin, control Prime Cost across multiple outlets, lift sustainable EBITDA. What sets a reference-level event apart is proven global methodology, tools that reduce Prime Cost 3–18% in 60 days, and visibility into numbers a CFO recognizes. MASTERESTAURANT, applied across +8,400 restaurants in 43 countries, fills this gap immediately.
This is not a speech. It is IMPLEMENTATION. Diego delivers Restaurant Model Canvas: complete mapping of fixed vs. variable costs in 30 minutes. Prime Cost engineering, EBITDA per unit, waste (PDA) control, process standardization that scales without margin erosion, decision architecture for replicable expansion. Every attendee receives: downloadable Excel matrices, action triggers (alert if variance >8%), decision matrices deployable Monday. Three tools proven across 12–150-unit chains in Patagonia, Madrid, Bangkok, Buenos Aires. The session is not information consumption—it is adoption of a system that operations directors walk back to their teams ready to deploy.
Global authority: creator of MASTERESTAURANT (adopted across 43 countries), Top 5 Amazon author ('From Slave to Owner'), +65M annual community reach, architect of the MASTERESTAURANT Territory Engine (MTiE) platform that restaurant operators adopt immediately. A regional event that brings the creator of methodology operating in Silicon Valley, Latam, Asia, and across Europe elevates your convocation, attracts premium international sponsors, generates specialist HORECA media coverage, and positions the organizer as a sector reference—not 'another conference.' Defensible differentiation.
Concrete return for committee and attendees: regional event differentiation, content that resonates with operators wrestling margin and scalability, a session that shifts from 'calendar day' to measurable investment. Post-event, attendees can demonstrate Prime Cost gains (CFO and boards recognize this), EBITDA clarity per unit, fixed-vs.-variable cost control that enables expansion decisions without uncertainty. Organizer gains: attendance above sector average (confirmed speaker traction, not cancellation risk), corporate multi-ticket sponsor purchases, specialist HORECA press coverage, secure future-event invitations because the format proved ROI.

Stages in France where this conference delivers results
The gastronomy and HORECA event ecosystem across the region is mature and world-scale. SIRHA (Salon International de la Restauration, de l'Hôtellerie et de l'Alimentation) in Lyon convenes +200,000 visitors and is mandatory circuit for European operators; the Bocuse d'Or competition during SIRHA draws international media. Beyond SIRHA, organizations like UMIH (Union des Métiers et des Industries de l'Hôtellerie) coordinate regional conventions across multiple venues. Paris concentrates destination-gastronomy events, hospitality trade shows in districts like Marais, and local association conventions. Universities such as Institut Paul Bocuse in Lyon and hospitality schools across Île-de-France host forums for operations directors and owners. The circuit is structured: local, European, and international operators expect to encounter reference-level content, new operational tools, KPI benchmarking. This is not sporadic; it is an annual decision calendar.
Sector calendar: SIRHA typically occurs in March/April (Lyon), the year's anchor event. High-season convention activity runs May–June (pre-summer corporate freeze) and September–October (post-summer restructures, new Q4 budgets). Regional signature products—Bourgogne, Bordeaux, Champagne, Aquitaine specialties—inspire thematic conferences on 'territorial excellence' that attract operators interested in local sourcing and differentiation. Audience: operations directors, mid-size chain owners (10–80 units), executive chefs, CFOs of hospitality groups, consultants. Preferred formats: 45–60 min opening keynote (full attendance, high-impact), 2-hour hands-on workshops post-keynote for implementation, peer-led roundtables. Timing: early morning or immediately post-coffee-break maximizes engagement. Midday (lunch conflict) closing slots underperform.

Engineer, C-Suite consultant and international keynote speaker, creator of the MASTERESTAURANT® methodology applied by 8,400+ restaurants in 43 countries, Amazon TOP 5 author in hospitality and a reference among the top Latino restaurant operations experts.
How would you tailor the session for our specific audience—mid-size chain operators, 15–80 units, with presence in Île-de-France and Rhône-Alpes?
The session targets the three operational problems of your bracket: expansion without margin loss, Prime Cost control across multiple outlets, and uneven EBITDA per unit across locations. Diego brings real case studies from 12–150-unit chains across 5 countries and structures around Restaurant Model Canvas: fixed-vs.-variable cost mapping, maneuverability indicators by zone, 3–4 decision milestones your audience will recognize. Includes KPI radar and Prime Cost benchmarks for your territory vs. European peers—data your team brings to the board. Final format locks 4 weeks before the event, in dialogue with your programming committee.
What assurance do we have that content is Monday-deployable, not just inspirational theory?
Three tools, all downloadable and immediate: (1) Restaurant Model Canvas in Excel—30 minutes to map your chain; (2) Prime Cost variance tables with action triggers (alert if variance >8%); (3) expansion/consolidation decision matrix keyed to EBITDA and unit stability. Each tool includes real case studies: 200-cover restaurant (Patagonia), 120-cover operation (Madrid), high-end dining property (Buenos Aires)—before and after implementation. Post-event, attendees receive 3-month access to the MASTERESTAURANT Territory Engine (MTiE) platform plus implementation support for the first two calculations. MASTERESTAURANT tracks operator adoption within 60 days of each session—audit data available on request to the organizing committee.
