The Restaurant Investment Group was founded by industry leaders and service providers who identified inefficiencies in how chefs craft, fundraise for, and open Greater Boston’s hottest chef-driven restaurants. We offer a novel concept for the industry, providing chefs/owners with capital, service providers, and experience; providing investors with diversification and transparency; and providing landlords and communities with the desired, interesting, and independent chef-operated restaurants.
We formed the Restaurant Investment Group not to eliminate the risks of restaurant investing, but to try to manage these risks. We aim to do so in a number of ways:
- Board of Advisors to vet prospective investment candidates.
- Restaurateurs must select from approved consultants and service providers, offering services at standard or discounted rates (no premium billing), who will provide business oversight.
- Diversified restaurant portfolio.
- Opportunity for economies of scale among restaurants the Fund invests in.
- Chefs retain creative control, brand, and ownership.
The Restaurant Investment Group is the manager of a private fund which has invested in chef-driven restaurants in Boston, Massachusetts. Currently, that fund is fully invested and the Restaurant Investment Group is no longer soliciting applications from chefs or opportunities for investors.
