I didn't start in digital marketing. I started where you are — in kitchens, behind bars, managing front-of-house teams, and trying to fill seats on a rainy Tuesday night.

Over 20+ years I've managed 250+ outlets across 5 countries, launched 8 dining concepts for Alhokair Group (all profitable within year one), and opened 11 Simit Sarayi stores across London in just 3 years.

Now I combine that hands-on operational experience with modern digital strategy to help independent restaurants, cafés, and hospitality businesses compete — and win — in today's market.

Your Journey With Epicurean Digital Consultants — From Free Consultation to Results and Growth

About Us

We've been in your shoes. Empty tables despite great food. A website that looks nice but doesn't convert. Social media that gets likes but no bookings. A menu that could be more profitable but you're not sure where to start.

Epicurean Digital Consultants was founded on a simple idea: the people who fix restaurant problems should be people who've actually run restaurants. Our founder has 20+ years of hands-on F&B operations across 5 countries — from launching dining concepts in Saudi Arabia to opening 11 stores across London.

Common Problems We Solve:

  • • Websites that look good but don't generate bookings
  • • Social media that gets likes but not paying customers
  • • Menus that aren't engineered for maximum profitability
  • • No clear digital strategy connecting online presence to revenue

We combine deep hospitality knowledge with modern digital strategy — websites that convert, brands that connect, menus that sell, and marketing that actually brings people through your door.
