- NEXT Hotel – Lennons Bar
Project Description
NEXT hotels is a new hotel brand developed by SilverNeedle hospitality based out of Singapore with the first property launched in Brisbane.
The F&B scope was to create a dining concept to cater to both in house and walk in guests and become the overarching brand template for future expansion. The brief was to create a venue that can be replicated while avoiding a “cookie cutter” implementation strategy across multiple locations.
The project included the main dining (all day) venue, business lounge, and room service offering. This was followed with a commissioning to adapt the concept to their second property in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Project Outcome
The venue in Brisbane met its financial objectives defined as part of the concept creation scope after one year of trading.
Scope
- Concept Creation / Design brief
- Design Management
- Operational Support
- Visual Merchandising Support
Collaborators
- TNG – Branding
- FCA – Kitchen Design
- Geyer – Interiors
Testimonial
I have had the comfort of working with Wajih’s focused professional guidance in the development and launch of Lennons at NEXT Brisbane. Concept Development, followed by efficient Spatial Planning, presentation and selection of Supplies and Operating Equipment, finished with a Merchandising Guide for consistency. The value is in the detail and not just a bunch of pretty pictures!
Supported at each step with detailed market research and projected profitability; all monitored with an exhaustive project management tools covering all aspects of the Pre-Opening and Launch – not just work in his scope.
Wajih is single minded on the project’s success and In my opinion, sets the benchmark for Advisory Services related to Food & Beverage Concept Development. I do look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.
