The split
The cast
Own the menu, kitchen team, food cost, and consistency on every plate.
Run front-of-house, service standards, suppliers, and inventory.
Own the brand, launch buzz, socials, and the reservations funnel.
Own registration, GST, licenses, bookkeeping, and payroll.
Design and deliver the fit-out — layout, lighting, and the look.
Run takeaway and delivery orders, packaging, and rider handoffs.
Serve tables, keep the floor turning, and look after guests.
Man the door, watch the premises, and keep the space safe.
What it costs to build
A Junto-verified estimate. The team's money lives in a guarded treasury — every spend is voted on and paid to verified vendors, never a member.
About
A sit-down restaurant: fix the format and location, get the licenses, build the kitchen and front-of-house, and open the doors. Split is founder-weighted with the kitchen close behind.
