[03] · Case

Crepe Street · Toronto

A crepe food truck in Toronto, built with no external investment.

How we did it

01

DIAGNOSIS

A never-before-seen concept, opened in record time and made for every kind of customer.

02

STRATEGY

Timing, the numbers and Toronto's food scene called for a food truck, not a fixed venue.

03

IMPLEMENTATION

A lean launch plus catering to carry the start: from €35K to €465K/year in 24 months.

Customer Testimonials

❝

We had been operating in the negative for two years. In six months, Axel reorganised operations, the menu, and processes. We turned a profit without reducing staff.

Giancarlo Bruno

Owner · Barocco x Nino · Toronto

❝

It was our first investment in hospitality. Axel guided us from concept to opening: branding, operations, menu. Today, we operate without needing his daily presence.

Andrés Vargas Solano

Investor · Nonna Tiramisù · Santa Ana

❝

We had an underutilized space. Axel redesigned the bar, the service flow, and the menu. The bar went from being a fixed cost to generating its own margin.
