CAPEX framework for Michelin
For a Michelin-target restaurant, CAPEX covers kitchen equipment, specialist storage, service area design, and reservation technology. Every line item is calibrated to Michelin inspection expectations.
Kitchen equipment investment
For a Michelin kitchen, high-quality commercial equipment is mandatory — including a vacuum cooker, combi oven, blast chiller, and precision scales. This investment is non-negotiable.
OPEX realism
Michelin-level procurement, team compensation, and training costs diverge significantly from standard restaurant OPEX. This gap must be entered realistically into the feasibility model.
Budget gap pre-star and post-star
In the pre-star period, Michelin-level costs are carried while the revenue bandwidth is limited. Investment made without modelling this period creates operational fragility.
ROI model integration
CAPEX and OPEX data are modelled separately for pre-star, post-star, and star-loss scenarios. This integration secures the financial robustness of the investment decision.
