A growth plan prepared for Niko Diamantopoulos
Niko, you run two strong concepts side by side at Avanti Food and Beverage in Denver: Berliner Haus, the only real German doner in Colorado, and Ciao Babe, Italian with zero apologies. The food is not the problem. The system around it is. This page is our plan to fix that, and exactly what it costs.
Berliner Haus. German doner kebab, food truck, and a stall at Avanti. The truck calendar is booked solid.
Ciao Babe. Florentine schiacciata and Roman pasta, right next door to Berliner Haus. Opened June 25, 2026.
The Berliner Doner: beef and lamb on real Berlin style pide, baked by a German baker in New York. This is the product Denver cannot get anywhere else.
The two brands
Berliner Haus has the reputation, the truck, and the press. Ciao Babe has the branding and the room to grow. Run right, each one feeds the other.
Berlin style doner kebab. Started as a tent at the Denver Christkindl Market in 2024, a food truck in 2025, and a permanent stall at Avanti in September 2025.
Florentine schiacciata sandwiches and Roman pastas, with ingredients imported from Italy weekly. Dedicated to Niko's father, Dimitri.
What we found
We audited both brands, the websites, the listings, and the numbers before our call. Then we compared it with what you told us on October 6. It all lines up.
The food truck schedule is fully booked. Berliner Haus has demand. It just does not show up inside Avanti the same way.
People inside the hall are not finding the stalls, or not choosing them. That is a visibility and offer problem, not a food problem.
Your words on the call: a few months to decide if Ciao Babe works. That makes Ciao Babe the urgent brand, not the second one.
Avanti guests want finger food they can carry to a table, a bar seat, or the patio. Sit down pasta works against that habit.
Volume is high and the rating is 4.8 stars, but delivery and marketing fees leave very little. Direct orders are worth real money.
Berliner Haus runs on a thin Wix site with the menu as a picture and hours that disagree with Toast, DoorDash, and Google. Ciao Babe has no website or domain of its own at all.
What we will do
Four moves, in order. Foundation first, then traffic, then pipeline, then margin. No random marketing. Every piece points at covers, catering, and truck bookings.
Weeks 1 to 3: Foundation
Weeks 2 to 6: Traffic engine
Weeks 3 to 10: Pipeline
Weeks 6 to 13: Margin
The only real German doner in Colorado.
That claim is already true, already proven, and already pressed. The job now is making sure Denver hears it every week, and that Ciao Babe gets the same push while there is still time to prove it.
Two ways to work with us
This is the range we discussed on the call, $600 to $1,000 a month. You are not buying software seats. You are buying the work, done: a marketing and lead development department for two restaurants.
$600 / month
The foundation and the traffic basics, handled every month.
$1,000 / month
Everything in Marketing and Lead Development, plus the full pipeline work.
No long contract. If the work does not earn its keep, you stop. The results have to justify the fee every month.
Everything built is yours: websites, domains, lists, content, and the CRM data. Built for you, owned by you.
When the volume earns it, the next step is xRESTAURANTx and the full Biz Dev App ERP: inventory, staff, and multi location operations for the national Berliner Haus expansion you described.
How we organize everything
This is how we run every engagement, including how DC Sniper came on board. You see the whole deal before you owe anything.
1
One private deal room holds this plan, the two proposal PDFs, your brand files, and every deliverable. One link, everything in it.
2
A plain written agreement sits in the deal room: scope, the monthly fee you pick, month to month terms. Read it on your schedule.
3
When you are ready, invoices run through the XODIAK blockchain transaction system, so every payment has a clean, verifiable record on both sides.
4
Review now. Sign and pay only when you decide. Nothing starts, and nothing is charged, before that.
Nothing is due today. This page, the proposals, and the agreement are for your review.
Next steps
The two PDFs in your email match this page: one tells the story and the plan, one is the working proposal with scope and fees. Your deal room and the agreement are ready when you are.
