Questions we hear from owners and operators

Straight answers on audits, refurbishment, restaurant concepts and space and brand design.

How should I choose between refurbishment advice and quotation comparison?

Start with the decision you need to make. Refurbishment consultancy concerns project scope and priorities. FF&E quotation comparison concerns offers you already have. If you still need supplier or project research, review the relevant research service before ordering.

What does the FF&E Quote & Cost Benchmark require?

The automated comparison requires your completed CSV for two or three suppliers, up to 50 items in one currency. It does not read original PDFs or Excel workbooks. Missing costs and unconfirmed equivalence remain visible. Review the input requirements and fictional sample on Raslak Atlas before payment.

Does quotation preparation include the comparison report?

No. Supplier Quote Preparation is a separate service priced at €1,500 plus applicable tax. The automated FF&E Quote & Cost Benchmark is €990 plus applicable tax. Agree the preparation scope before ordering; the comparison has its own input review and purchase step.

Are product samples actual client projects?

The quotation comparison demonstration is fictional and labelled as such. It illustrates the format and decision process. It is not a client result, an independent market price database or evidence of savings.

Can consultancy guarantee higher revenue or AI recommendations?

No outcome is guaranteed. Agree the decision, scope, deliverables and review criteria before commissioning work. Any assessment of commercial results needs the property’s own baseline and subsequent operating data.
