Before you decide if it’s worth opening with INDX,
see what you actually gain:

( 01 )

Trusted Supplier Network

No wasted money testing random suppliers. Pre-vetted partners, correct specs, smooth approvals.

( 02 )

Exclusive
Rates

Trainings, certifications, monthly tools, and essential safety services.
These are costs every venue must pay anyway — yours are simply lower.

( 03 )

Up-to-Date Compliance

You avoid fines, delays, temporary closures, re-inspections,
 food safety risks, and penalties that cost far more than doing it right first.

Openings we’ve supported

Nonna Bakery

Holborn, London
Challenge

Entering the UK market without local systems, compliance frameworks, or an operational setup.

What We Did

Delivered a full operational reality check, financial modelling, project timeline, menu adaptation, equipment strategy, HR structure, HACCP & Health & Safety compliance, POS setup, SOPs, operational tools, team training, and soft launch support.

Result
Sales targets achieved in Month 1.
Zero critical food safety issues.
Major overspending avoided.
A structured, ready-to-scale operating model in place.

Bobo & Wild

Wanstead, London
Challenge

Launching a new venue with no structured drinks menu, costing logic, or team-ready standards.

What We Did

Full drinks offering aligned with the concept and operational reality, menu development with GP, COGS and pricing logic, recipe and training cards creation, team trainings and tastings. Aligned the bar setup with service speed, stock control, and margin targets.

Result
Clear pricing and margin control.
Consistent drink quality.
Reduced training time and service errors.
A scalable, ready-to-run bar menu.
You will open successfully. With INDX.

It costs far less to open properly than to fix what went wrong
