Direct management · Flagship case
Ristorante ART — Punta Ala (Tuscany)
A venue closed for years, written off by the town, in a tough old-money market. We did everything: concept and positioning, reopening and full operations (staff, payroll, suppliers), booking website, custom-built management software with menu engineering, Apple Wallet loyalty, content production. In a single season it became a local reference again — and guests say so: 5.0/5 on Google (49 reviews), 9.6/10 on TheFork (#1 in Punta Ala), 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor.

Ristorante Figallo — Cortemilia (Alta Langa)
Luis and Heather Figallo, American founders, are opening a "Piemontex" concept restaurant — Piedmontese-Texan fusion — in Alta Langa. IOD21 is operating partner alongside Lorenzo Battistello: IT, financial model and marketing are ours. Investor-grade business plan delivered as a dynamic site with sensitivity analysis; then the hard part — construction-site management protecting the client (works contract, penalties, milestones), supplier comparisons, site minutes and bilingual reports. The owners, from the United States, have full visibility on every spending decision. Opening soon.

Feasibility: restaurant inside a major Northern-Italy museum
The previous management had lost money for 11 straight years. Three economic scenarios, reconstruction of past managements from filed accounts, tourism-flow analysis, a European benchmark of museum restaurants — successes and failures. The numbers overturned the initial approach: a stronger strategy is now in development with the owners.
