The traditional saké industry is in decline, with overall sales falling for the past 3 decades. Why? The competition from beer, wine and whiskey brands running rampant and in Japan, the younger generation commonly refers to sake as “your father or grandfather’s drink”, and old producers have lost touch with modern consumers.

Time for a Plan B.

With snippets and slices of life on Tokyo streets after dark, the fascination with Japanese sub-culture. Plan B will set about expressing the dark and secretive, as well as the bright and bold, drawing on the multitude of sub-cultures that fuel Japanese nightlife – outrageous and daring, these tribes thrive in a parallel universe, often doing a better job of ‘living the lifestyle’ than the original protagonist that inspired them.

Management Team Development
As nightlife group EDL Management approached their target opening date for their first full service restaurant and lounge, Toca Madera, they reached out for some leadership and operational experience for the ambitious West Hollywood hideaway. The elevated Mexican eatery and cocktail bar aimed to bring much more than tacos and tequila to West 3rd St, and needed an eleventh*hour assist in ensuring their FOH squad brought a level of hospitality to match the dark, sexy vibe and high*energy pulse of one of LA’s first “clubstaurants”. We stepped in and recruited, trained, developed and managed a world class team of service talent who earned rave reviews from the droves of regular Hollywood elite that put Toca Madera on the national map. Our one year stint helped established EDL as a national player, and spurred the launch of their white*hot fresh*casual spinoff, Tocaya Organica.
