01 / The approach

We operate.
We improve.
We create.

Every hospitality business is different. Our job isn’t to arrive with a formula — it’s to understand what’s happening, identify what can be better, and turn ideas into action.

We combine hands-on operations, business strategy, creative thinking, and a genuine love for hospitality to help concepts become more efficient, more profitable, and more memorable.

02 / About

Family business. Hospitality mindset. Entrepreneurial spirit.

Why Saturno & Bro?

Because we wanted to build the kind of company we would want to hire ourselves.

  • 01Small enough to care deeply.
  • 02Experienced enough to know what matters.
  • 03Creative enough to question the obvious.
  • 04Practical enough to get things done.

Saturno & Bro was created to bring together something our family has always shared: a love of food, hospitality, creativity, and building things.

Our experience crosses hospitality operations, restaurant and café management, business strategy, branding, design, culinary, and entrepreneurship. That mix shapes the way we work.

We don’t see operations, finance, guest experience, food, beverage, design, marketing, and culture as separate departments living in separate boxes. To the guest, they are all one experience — and to the business, they all affect the same bottom line.

That’s why we approach hospitality as a complete system.

We can zoom out to understand the business and where it needs to go, then zoom all the way in to the details that make it happen: staffing, service, purchasing, programming, menus, workflows, training, revenue strategy, partnerships, and the experience guests have every day.

We believe the best hospitality feels effortless to the guest — even though everyone in the business knows how much work goes into making it feel that way.

That’s the work we love.

The family table

Built like a family business. Because it is one.

We believe hospitality works best when there’s ownership, trust, creativity, accountability — and people who actually give a damn.

Saturno & Bro brings that mentality to every project.

We work closely with owners and teams, get into the details, solve problems without creating unnecessary complexity, and treat the businesses we work with as if our family name were on the door.

Because, well… ours is.

Creative Direction & Brand Experience

The smallest details often become the things people remember.

We bring a creative perspective to the entire guest experience, from visual identity and storytelling to music, menus, programming, communication, environment, and the moments worth sharing.

Because a strong operation keeps people coming back. A strong identity gives them a reason to come in the first place.

A few examples of what happens when strategy, operations, and guest experience are treated as parts of the same business.

01

MADE Hotel

Boutique Hotel · New York City

Hotel F&B · Performance Analysis · Turnaround Strategy

MADE’s food and beverage operation spans multiple concepts under one roof — each with its own guest behavior, revenue opportunities, operating challenges, and role within the hotel.

The engagement started with a three-day on-site diagnostic focused on a simple question: where was performance being lost, and what could realistically change it?

The work

Combined financial analysis, operating data, and hands-on observation to identify the most important revenue, labor, cost-allocation, and guest-spend opportunities across the hotel’s F&B outlets.

From there, the work moved from diagnosis to action: outlet positioning, labor and kitchen structure, revenue strategy, events and programming, partnerships, KPI visibility, and clearer management accountability.

The outcome

A prioritized findings report and 60–90 day action plan presented to ownership and investors — giving the team a clearer picture of where performance was being lost, which levers mattered most, and what to tackle first.

Nili

Neighborhood Café · Brooklyn, New York

Café Operations · Team Systems · Guest Experience

At a busy neighborhood café, operational improvement rarely comes from one dramatic change.

It comes from making hundreds of small things happen consistently — every day, across every shift.

The work

Hands-on operational leadership across scheduling, labor, team training, task management, opening and closing procedures, purchasing, vendor relationships, inventory, invoice workflows, DOH readiness, catering support, guest experience, and the inevitable daily problem-solving that comes with running a café.

The focus has been on building practical systems around the way the business actually operates — not adding process simply for the sake of having more process.

The outcome

Standardized daily checklists and task systems, clarified ordering and inventory routines, strengthened accountability and food-safety practices, and documented core management procedures into a detailed transition system.

The goal: a café that is easier to run, easier to hand over, and more consistent for both the team and the guest — without losing the personality that makes it a neighborhood place.

Arroces NYC

Street Paella Pop-Ups · New York City

Event Production · Operations · Partner Coordination

Arroces turns paella into a New York event: large pans, chef collaborations, music, drinks, and crowds gathered around rice.

To guests, each pop-up feels social, energetic, and spontaneous. Behind the scenes, it depends on careful coordination across the culinary team, host venue, collaborators, vendors, equipment, timing, and service.

The work

Led the production and coordination of Arroces events and pop-ups, translating each concept into a practical plan from early preparation through day-of execution.

The work included production timelines, venue and partner coordination, team communication, equipment and vendor logistics, setup and breakdown planning, service flow, guest experience, and real-time problem-solving on site.

The focus was to protect the personality of each event while giving everyone involved clear responsibilities, clear timing, and one shared plan.

The outcome

A structured and repeatable approach to producing Arroces events without making the experience feel overproduced.

Stronger coordination across teams and partners helped each pop-up move smoothly from idea to service. It gave Chef Eduardo Cuenca and the culinary team more room to focus on the food while the complete guest experience came together around them.
