What They're Saying

“Developing new restaurants in new areas is what I thought we were great at, until we partnered up with Andrew and the team at BCD. As it turns out, it's what they're great at. The experience, organization, and contacts they bring to our projects are just unmatched. The information and insight they exchange throughout the process of finding, securing, and developing a location has made our expansion less of a headache and even more importantly, it has allowed us to re-focus on what we actually do best: operating the restaurants.”

BCD truly helped us mitigate that risk.”

Additionally, BCD is an exceptional value-added partner, having introduced us to other leaders in the restaurant industry who have made our growth and development significantly more successful.”

We were hesitant to bring on a Project Manager; however, Andrew proved himself to be invaluable to our growth at the outset of our first project together. BCD has helped us stay on budget, on time, and is effective at holding everyone accountable for their jobs along the way. We are now in the midst of our second project with BCD, and we cannot imagine building a restaurant without them- not only because of their exceptional services but because Andrew has become a trusted advisor to us on wide-ranging issues.

“In the 1980s, we found our first location through a classified ad in the Village Voice and built it using a crew of unemployed artists. Things have gotten more complicated. Embarking on a restaurant project today without an experienced project management team is sheer madness. In fact, it was crazy back then, we just didn't know about BCD. Andrew and his team run a professional, efficient job from start to finish. We've been using BCD for years and will continue to do so.”

Ken Sofer

Our restaurant is 25 years old, with very loyal regular guests who view the restaurant as a 2nd home. BCD effected the necessary changes while ensuring the essence of Petaluma was not compromised. Moreover, the project was on-time and on-budget and they scheduled the construction so that we could stay open for the duration.”
