What is mentoring?

Mentoring with me is for you if you:

  • have an idea for a restaurant or a food-related business and want to develop it into a real business.
  • have an idea for a business and simply don't know where to start.
  • are in the early stages of your gastro business and are looking to improve and grow.
  • need advice and feedback on your business plan.
  • are feeling stuck in your business and need general guidance.
  • are a newcomer to the swiss market.
  • are passionate about your idea but lack the business knowledge to jump right into it.
  • want to pick my brain about starting a gastro business in Switzerland.
  • want to be connected to key players in the industry.
  • want to learn how to successfully operationally run a gastro business in Switzerland

Mentoring with me is NOT for you if you:

  • need guidance on financing your business idea.
  • want to follow a set coaching program designed especially for you.
  • want to open up a Michelin Star restaurant
  • need someone to keep you accountable, such as a business coach.
  • want to open a franchise

Mentoring vs. Coaching

I think it’s important to take a moment to differentiate mentoring and coaching on this page. 

As a mentor, I am here to share my knowledge and experience to help my mentee develop and grow. It is the full responsibility of the mentee to bring an agenda to every meeting to get the most out of our sessions. 

As opposed to this, a coach is someone who guides a client more closely on their goals and helps them reach their full potential, using accountability to do so.

Network

Over the past decade and a half, I have built up a network of professionals with whom I have worked in the past and continue to work, whom I can highly recommend to my mentees, depending on what services or advice is needed.

These include but are not limited to:

  • Design and communication agencies
  • Real estate agencies
  • Gastro brokers
  • Business coaches
  • Business consultants
  • Recipe developers
  • Lawyers
  • Digital marketing agencies
  • Life coaches
  • Interior design experts
  • Social media experts
  • Gastro kitchen experts
