Why hospitality groups in Israel hire him
Growing a hospitality group is harder than opening one: each new site multiplies costs, standards, talent and complexity, and what worked with three locations collapses with twenty. The scale opportunity is real - and so is the risk of expanding without a system that guarantees per-unit profitability.
This service exists to close that gap: tailor-made hospitality consulting, executive bootcamps, events and private advisory with the MASTERESTAURANT methodology and its TOOLKIT, applied in 8,400+ restaurants across 43 countries. You bring the growth ambition; we bring the system that makes it profitable, standardized and scalable.
The local market
The restaurant-group and chain market in Israel: the context your portfolio must master
A hospitality group—hotel chain, resort, multi-brand F&B holding, or restaurant chain—that operates profitably across three or four units faces structural collapse when scaling to fifteen, twenty, or thirty locations. Each new property multiplies fixed costs (rents across different commercial districts, variable salary structures, fluctuating regulations), challenges operational standardization (uncontrolled shifts, fragmented talent profiles, ad-hoc processes per location), and erodes financial visibility across the portfolio. Most groups grow by commercial impulse—they spot an opportunity, open, operate—without designing themselves as a governed gastronomic enterprise. This is precisely where specialized corporate consulting for hospitality groups makes the difference. It's not about opening faster; it's about designing each opening into a replicable system from day one, with protected margins and unit-level profit visibility.
The transformation this service delivers is moving from a group that grows by impulse to an enterprise structured under the MASTERESTAURANT methodology. This includes: portfolio diagnosis (current position of each brand, unit, investor group), growth strategy (which brands to amplify, which to restructure, where to expand), multi-location standardization (operational manuals, control processes, brand asset replication), unit economics engineering (profitability per unit, Prime Cost governed, EBITDA target, projected cash flow), indicator dashboards connected to real data, organizational structure to operate multiple locations without depending on founders or heroic operators, and support through expansion and franchising if that's your model. All integrated into a single corporate program 100% tailored to your group, with no generic packages.
The authority that reduces the risk of this transformation is concrete. Diego has designed this model of governed gastronomic operation across 43 countries with more than 8,400 restaurants and groups that have adopted it; he has been a C-Suite advisor in operations moving hundreds of millions of dollars (signing payrolls, structuring corporations, negotiating leases, closing expansions); he is a TOP 5 author on Amazon in his category ('From Slave to Owner'); he generates more than 65 million annual views across his global community of owners and operators. When your board approves a scalability program under this methodology, it's not betting on a theory; it's replicating a system proven to work across luxury hotel chains, multi-brand F&B operations, and hospitality holdings in markets as diverse as Latin America, Spain, the U.S., Asia, and the Middle East.
The concrete return for your group is measurable across three dimensions. First, replicated profitability: each new opening maintains margins similar to mature units because the operating system is locked in. Second, portfolio decisions with data: your board has real visibility into which brands generate ROI, which are consuming resources without return, and where to allocate expansion capital. Third, operations independent of individuals: the founder shifts from operational to strategic, the group doesn't collapse if a key manager leaves, and expansion decisions are made on documented processes, not trust in an internal superhero. The net result is a gastronomic group more valuable, more attractive to investors and funds, with predictable cash flow and real capacity to scale in your market without diluting.

Why Israel is a market for hospitality groups
The ecosystem of hospitality groups includes both consolidated hotel chains (operating with portfolios of dozens of locations across premium corridors) and emerging restaurant groups concentrated in high-traffic commercial districts and urban centers. The labor market structure is specialized (management talent scarce in multi-location standardization, high turnover in operations), rents vary dramatically between premium and secondary corridors, and demand splits between local consumption, international tourism, and corporate travel—each with distinct occupancy, pricing, and seasonality dynamics. Directorial talent capable of replicating an operating model across multiple locations exists but is scarce and expensive, which raises the risk that a group grows without the people or processes to sustain that expansion.
The expansion opportunity for a hospitality group is real—high-potential corridors exist that aren't saturated, corporate demand is growing, and hotel consolidation is underway—but the risks of profitability erosion at scale are what stop most owners. A group that opens a third location without reviewing its Prime Cost model, without standardizing procurement and control processes, without adjusting its talent structure, sees its EBITDA fall 15% to 30% in the new unit compared to its historical average. The local consumer by zone varies: in tourism zones you have pricing power but seasonality vulnerability; in residential zones you have volume but compressed margins; in corporate zones you have frequency but high operating costs. Understanding these dynamics by zone and designing the unit (format, revenue mix, cost structure) within them is what separates a profitable launch from failure.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does hospitality consulting for hospitality groups work?
It starts with a strategic diagnosis of the group and its portfolio of brands and units. Based on it, the growth plan is designed -portfolio strategy, multi-site standardization, per-unit profitability and expansion- and leadership is supported through implementation.
Is the confidentiality of the group's information protected?
Yes. The whole process operates under confidentiality agreements (NDA). The group's financial, operational and strategic information is and remains the client's. Limited spots worldwide exist to guarantee dedication and focus on each organization.
How long does it take and what are the phases of the corporate engagement?
It depends on the group's size and complexity: diagnosis, strategic planning, standardization and implementation, and support during operation and expansion. Scaling a group profitably is a process with method, not an event.
What is the investment for a hospitality program?
Corporate programs range from USD $50K to USD $500K+ and are priced to the group's size and complexity, number of sites and scope of the engagement. They are quoted tailor-made after the diagnosis.
Do you work with growing groups and also with consolidated chains?
Both: expanding groups that need to standardize and get in order before scaling, and consolidated chains seeking to recover per-unit profitability, restructure the portfolio or prepare franchise and new markets.

“Opening five restaurants in five cities is easy—the market is there. The hard part is keeping those five restaurants at the margin the first one had. The difference between a group that scales and one that dilutes isn't how many units it opens; it's whether it has a business system that replicates profitability in each one.”
