Why restaurant groups and chains in Puno hire him
Growing a restaurant 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 corporate 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 Puno: the context your portfolio must master
Corporate restaurant groups and chains face a critical inflection: moving from 2–3 units to 5, 10, or 15 requires exponentially more than opening additional doors. Each new location multiplies staffing, supply chain complexity, financial controls, and operational replication—and most groups grow by commercial impulse, not by design. The result: margins erode at each unit, standards drift, and profitability becomes hostage to founder involvement or key operators. Specialized corporate consulting addresses the core gap: how to transform from founder-driven, organic operations into a governed enterprise where each unit replicates margin, every decision rests on data (not intuition), and the group itself becomes more scalable and attractive to investors.
MASTERESTAURANT's methodology transforms a group that grows by impulse into a governed restaurant enterprise. The program integrates portfolio diagnosis (which units to amplify, which to reposition, capital allocation), multi-unit standardization (operations manuals, control processes, quality replication), unit economics and Prime Cost managed at group level (not per unit), executive dashboards (EBITDA, margin velocity, expansion ROI), organizational structure aligned to growth, and expansion strategy ready for franchising. This is not a one-day workshop or isolated recommendations: it is a tailor-made corporate program anchored in the MASTERESTAURANT toolkit (Restaurant Model Canvas, MTIE—Masterestaurant Territory Engine, Executive Dashboard, Technical Sheets)—configured for the local market, scaled to your group's size and ambitions, and embedded into your board's decision cycles.
Diego's global authority—43 countries, +8,400 restaurants advised, C-Suite consultant (signed payrolls, negotiated rents, structured shareholding, closed expansions in multi-hundred-million-dollar operations), Top 5 Amazon author, +65 million annual community reach—reduces expansion risk. His expertise is not theoretical; it is lived experience scaling restaurant enterprises across geographies, market types, and capital structures. For your board and C-suite, this means access to a framework and advisor whose methods have already been stress-tested by groups similar in size and complexity—and the confidence to scale based on proven systems, not hunches.
The concrete return: replicated profitability per unit, protected margins at each new opening, portfolio decisions informed by data (which brands to amplify, which to reposition, how to allocate capital for maximum EBITDA), operations that do not collapse when the founder shifts focus, and a group enterprise that commands investor confidence. A chain that grew from 4 to 18 units with Diego's program in Peru now runs 85% of its monthly decisions through dashboards, not founder intuition. That is not just growth: it is business transformation.

MINCETURPuno as a market
Why Puno is a market for restaurant groups and chains
Puno's restaurant corporate ecosystem pivots on tourism (Lake Titicaca, UNESCO heritage, international visitor flows) and regional supply chains. The market is fragmented: micro and small groups operate without standardized management systems, competing on location and founder reputation rather than operational excellence. Commercial corridors concentrate in the historic center and expansion zones (Juliaca conurbation). Managerial talent is scarce—most experienced operators must be attracted from Lima, increasing recruitment and retention costs. Real estate is moderate compared to metropolitan markets, but labor availability and turnover remain structural constraints. Consumer spend is bimodal: high-ticket international tourism mixed with price-sensitive local demand, requiring different unit-level strategies within the same group.
The expansion opportunity is consolidation: a regional group scaling from 4–6 units to 12–18 over three years can capture market share and professionalize faster than competitors still operating on founder impulse. The real risks: operational drift (each manager improvises without standards), national labor turnover (~45% annually in Peru's hospitality sector, per ADECCO), margin erosion from duplicated costs (rent, management payroll) without proportional volume increase, and absence of portfolio dashboards to decide which units to amplify or reposition. A corporate program tailored for local conditions diagnoses exactly where margins leak in multi-unit operations and deploys systems to protect them.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does corporate consulting for restaurant groups and chains 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 corporate 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.

Your message goes straight to Diego's team: group or chain, number of sites, stage and what you need to achieve in Puno.
“A restaurant group scales or dilutes based on the business system it replicates at each unit, not the velocity of openings. I've built groups that went from 6 to 20 profitable units and groups that went from 6 to 20 units losing money. The difference is system: portfolio diagnosis, operational standardization, unit economics managed at group level, decision dashboards. One is a company; the other is an agglomeration of businesses cannibalizing each other.”
