Hotels, bars and restaurants run to five-star standard.
CF Hospitality Management & Consultancy helps owners and hotel groups plan, open and run hotels, resorts, guest houses and food and beverage venues that guests come back to. Led by Charbel Feghali, with more than 26 years in international luxury hospitality.
Technical discipline, hospitality instinct
My background is in food and beverage operations: events, banqueting, private dining, hygiene and food safety, stewarding, retail, food promotions, outside catering and a wide range of cuisines. My firm specializes in nightlife, bars, lounges and entertainment-driven F&B inside five-star properties.
I plan carefully, manage time and capacity, and work to budget. I have led, motivated and trained teams in professional settings for over two decades. My view is simple: a successful operation combines technical skill with hospitality skill in food and service quality, and it invests in its people.

Property management
Management and consultancy for hospitality properties, from a single guest house to a full resort. We either run the property for the owner or advise the owner's own team.
Hotels
Day-to-day operation and performance of city and business hotels, including rooms, F&B and events.
Resorts
Leisure destinations where accommodation, dining, entertainment and guest programs must work as one.
Auberges
Characterful inns and boutique stays where service style and local identity set the standard.
Guest houses
Smaller properties that need hotel-grade systems and a personal welcome.
Management
We take operational responsibility for the property on the owner's behalf: team structure, hiring and training, service standards, food safety, budgets and reporting.
Consultancy
We advise owners and developers on concept, positioning, pre-opening planning, operating processes and performance, then support your team as it puts the plan into practice.
Fine dining, restaurants, cafés and night clubs
Management and consultancy for food, beverage and entertainment venues, whether they sit inside a five-star hotel or stand on their own.
Fine dining
Refined menus, polished service and private dining, run to the standard five-star guests expect.
Restaurants
Concept, menu, kitchen and service operations, food safety, and a team trained to deliver every night.
Cafés
Coffee and food programs, daily operations and cost control for venues built on repeat visits.
Night clubs
Nightlife, bars and lounges: entertainment-led venues with the licensing discipline, safety standards and service culture to match.
Management
We run the venue day to day for the owner: staffing, training, service standards, budgets, supplier control and reporting.
Consultancy
We shape the concept and positioning, plan the opening, set up the processes, and coach your team once the doors are open.
Services
Start with a conversation. From there we agree the scope that fits your venue and your timeline.
Introductory consultation
We look at what comparable venues and operators are doing to stay relevant, and which ones do it best. Then we work through the choices open to you, using practical tools and global benchmarks, so you understand what each decision means before you make it.
Strategic planning session
For a new venue or a reset of an existing one. We shape the concept, the processes and the team structure, and we set out how the business will be managed day to day. The aim is a plan you can hand to your team and run.
Branding and positioning analysis
Not sure where to turn, or planning your next project? We review how your venue is positioned against its market and identify the changes that will move it forward, from small adjustments to bolder moves when the moment calls for them.
