Clients & Projects

The Cakap Group has been incredible… We’ve been working together for almost a year. Peter is not only super easy to work with, he’s kind, he’s honest and he’s extremely experienced. Not just in F&B but also hospitality in general. I own a boutique hotel and I travel and don’t live on-site in Bali, it’s such a great support for me, especially managing things from afar and therefore I can only highly recommend him when it comes to recruitment, training, restructuring, anything you might need, there’s so much that he can help you with.

The Cakap Group provided me with invaluable support in putting together a professional and comprehensive business plan, BOQ and recruitment strategy prior to launching The Barn Pub & Restaurant in 2022. The Teams knowledge and expertise in the field really helped me lay the foundations for my company’s official launch later that year in Bali. Their continued willingness to help out whenever I need is greatly appreciated and I would highly recommend their company to anyone else needing support running a hospitality business in Bali.

We engaged Peter and the Cakap group from the initial stage of concepts and business plan to sourcing a location and are now working with them through the design stage of our store. Being based in Australia and not in bali, we really needed someone on the ground that would Peter and the team have been nothing but amazing. The professionalism shown, along with their knowledge of the industry has made a lot easier than it should have been. I would highly recommend the expertise of Peter and the Cakap group for your next hospitality project in Bali.

Working with Peter and The Cakap Group was a smooth experience from start to finish. Everything felt professional, fast, and easy, which made the whole process enjoyable. They really listened and followed my direction closely, while also bringing in their own creative ideas when needed. What stood out most was how well they understood my vision and executed it exactly as I imagined. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to recreate a menu or build a restaurant from scratch.

Not sure what I would have done without the support of The Cakap Group. Their extensive level of experience combined with a hugely dynamic set of skills and an aggressive approach to get things done quickly and efficiently was exactly what we needed to pull off a successfully executed launch-party and opening of our restaurant. From SOP planning and training, hiring and recruiting, logistical coordination, and everything in between, these guys were simply on it and up for the task at every level. I can’t recommend The Cakap Group enough. Great service, incredibly fair prices and super fun to work with. 5-star hands down.

In the last 3 months working with us and implementing their systems & measures, our kitchen, Purchasing & our Goods Receiving sections are all running very much more efficiently. Furthermore, our kitchen team, through their care, attention & training are showing a renewed motivation. And they have, as promised, reduced our food cost far below our expectations. The whole process has been professional, smooth & with barely an interruption to our day-to-day operations with minimum time input from management here at Old Man’s. On behalf of the staff & owners, our thanks once again for a great job, very well done, from start to end.

Working alongside Peter, Chef Erin & the rest of the Cakap team was an absolute pleasure. They went above and beyond. Wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking to launch/improve their offerings.

The Cakap Group has guide us on the opening of our business in a very professional and efficient way. The whole team is very accurate and transparent making the relation a very easy one. Congratulations to The Cakap Group, thanks.

I highly recommend The Cakap Group consulting company for their exceptional work in assisting my Chinese restaurants in Seminyak and Berawa, as well as with the opening of our Jakarta airport outlet. Their services were invaluable in several key areas. Firstly, The Cakap Group conducted a thorough analysis of our menus, calculated the cost of goods, and implemented a cost reduction strategy that significantly improved our profitability without compromising quality. They also played a crucial role in creating and implementing comprehensive kitchen Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) between our main and secondary outlets, streamlining our production system and enhancing efficiency. Additionally, their expertise was evident in adjusting the menu and developing an effective SOP for the successful opening of our airport outlet. Their commitment to health and safety was apparent through comprehensive training sessions, ensuring that our staff followed proper kitchen organization protocols.

We’ve been very lucky that we have taken on the services of Peter & his team – I don’t think we would have been able to get as far as we’ve got without them. From helping us with our chefs, teaching the team how to cook the menu, preparing the menu and right down to the costing of the menu – it’s just been amazing and the explanations they have given along the way to show us how we can run our business successfully have been phenomenal.

Murex Resorts is a well-established business in North Sulawesi started in 1988 but we have struggled with our F&B for a decade. Times have changed since opening our resorts and guests are expecting better quality food & drinks with more variety & presented well. Our only wish is that we met Peter sooner as investment prior to building a relationship with him was mis-managed. No more. Understanding our F&B objectives, The Cakap Group helped us develop a full business plan and its execution professionally and within time frame & budget. We began our rehab during covid and Peter was a very comforting and flexible to adapt to what was happening. Subsequent to our successful launch at our first resort, we engaged The Cakap Group for our island property too. Nothing in this business is flawless but having the right consultant helps cushion setbacks and accumulates successes while keeping the entire project on point. Thank you, Peter & your team

It is definitely not easy to work with Peter and his team. They pushed us beyond our limits. Challenging us to think through everything as they developed the business plans and financial projections for our projects in Ubud Bali. A 90 room wellness retreat. A 30 room communal living. And a wellness day club.
Always bringing a positive creative energy and enthusiasm, Peter inspires us. Going beyond what we expect, Peter is more than happy to assist us in anything, everything.
And we definitely enjoy every lovely chats over lunch or dinner. It is always interesting to hear him share his experiences.
We look forward as we continue next few months or years partnering with Peter and his team to bring our exciting projects to opening.

The work that The Cakap Group have done has added significant value to our company, as well as profiting from that in the long run, we are already making savings through efficiencies that will repay the cost of the consultancy many times over. Easy to work with and reliable in delivering on what has been promised. Should you require any further details please feel free to give drop me a line, I’ll be happy to do so.

Working with Peter and The Cakap Group has been a game changer for Butter. They came in and reviewed every part of our company, from business analysis, restaurant operations, SOP training, recruitment, HR and kitchen systems. They didn’t just give advice, they got right into the business, found the weak points, and helped put systems in place that will continue to improve the business long term. The biggest win for us was reducing our food cost dramatically. They also set up a new purchasing and receiving system, which has made a massive impact on our margins. They’ve improved our food consistency, customer satisfaction has increased since they overhauled our SOPs and training, and they built an elite HR department with new employment contracts and benefits to raise the standard across Butter. If you’re looking for experienced restaurant consultants in Bali, I highly recommend Peter and the team. Whether you’re opening your first venue or scaling an existing business, they bring a huge amount of knowledge and genuinely care about getting results. Well worth the investment. We’ll definitely continue working with The Cakap Group as Butter grows.

I first discovered them through an AI search, where they were recommended as one of the best property management companies in Bali. The fact that they are already so visible and highly recommended online is a great example of how well they understand their work. Peter personally inspected both of my properties and provided me with a very detailed and valuable management report. Afterwards, we sat down together to discuss everything in detail. The entire process was extremely professional, transparent, and genuinely helpful. As a property owner, I gained many useful insights and a much clearer understanding of where improvements could be made. Their numerous well-known partners and excellent reviews already speak for themselves. I can confidently recommend their services to any hotel, resort, villa, or property owner in Bali who is looking for professional management support, an honest operational assessment, or new ways to improve their business.

Peter and his team at Cakap Group helped us with some much-needed streamlining and cleanup in our Bali operations, across all 7 of our Sinamon outlets and our central kitchen! It was a huge help having their expertise come in and introduce refreshed SOPs and the general cleanups the business needed.

If you’re looking for a consultant with a deep understanding of every aspect of the hospitality business in Bali, I’d highly recommend giving Peter and his team a chance to see what they can do to transform your F&B business.
