General Manager at Spritz & Polpette
I opened my street food concept and after 3 months I decided to appoint Simposium Hospitality Consultancy to run my operational checks and advising in Marketing. We started the collaboration with a 3 months contract and I already renewed the contract twice. Antonio and Miki are simply amazing, super professional and the support and knowledges they can put into your business are endless. They managed to turn the stress of the beginning of the business in a pleasant and learning period of my life. I truly believe that Simposium Hospitality can be the right partner to make your business shine.

Throughout the entire project, Antonio demonstrated a remarkable level of skill, creativity, and professionalism that was nothing short of impressive. He also led the team in a cook-off event to test and develop new menu items, showcasing a breadth of culinary expertise that left everyone amazed. Worked closely with our events team to ensure that the new menu offerings were perfectly aligned with our vision and the overall theme of each event. The result was a seamless and truly extraordinary dining experience for our guests.
