Why Kinetic12?
We are foodservice experts with eight senior-level industry consultants who have decades of practical manufacturer and chain management experience. Our proprietary methodology helps investors make smart, data-driven business evaluations that cover all aspects of manufacturers and restaurant chain due diligence, so you go in fully aware of the risks and opportunities before you invest.
With more than $2.5 billion invested in food startups over the past two years (CB Insights), foodservice offers plenty of upside, but with such a diverse landscape and complex value chain, it’s critical that investors approach each opportunity with clarity.
From manufacturers to chain restaurants to non-commercial foodservice, we help food and beverage private equity investors identify, assess, and maximize profitability, so you have a predictable path to growth.
Then, after the investment, Kinetic12’s food industry consultants work closely with your team to maximize your ROI. With our business strategy design and implementation services, and organization and process design expertise, we align and focus the right capabilities to rapidly grow your investment.
