Mamattuk means "delicious" in Inuttitut. It's the restaurant we built for the NunatuKavut community in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, now a national award winner at the 2025 ITAC Awards.

The vision was clear from day one: represent the community and showcase Labrador's culinary heritage. The challenge was doing that hundreds of kilometres from the nearest major supplier.

We secured regional ingredients like local shrimp, wild fish and cloudberries months in advance, then built distributor partnerships around real transit schedules and storage limits so supply never faltered.

We also brought Inuttitut into the brand itself, from the kids' menu to a coaster series illustrated by a local Indigenous printmaker, turning every table into a small lesson in language and place.

Today, Mamattuk is a national award-winning restaurant and gathering place for Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

Cutting labour costs is not the same as managing it.

Cut too hard and guest experience drops, then revenue drops with it.

The goal is never to "spend less on labour"...it's investing strategically in a way that protects the guest experience and continually drives your revenue.

Family recipes don't need to be modernized. They need to be respected.

We loved working with Thai Coco to pair their family recipes with a modern restaurant spin.

With more than 70 locations across Canada, FAT BASTARD BURRITO CO. is a Fifteen Group franchise success story that we’re proud of.

Fat Bastard reached out to The Fifteen Group over 12 years ago to start their journey. What started as a single restaurant was ready to franchise, and we were there to build the pieces that made it work.

At the time, the profit model didn't hold up, the menu was disjointed, and there were no operational systems or procedures in place. We rebuilt the operation over 15 weeks into a model franchisees could actually succeed with. Fat Bastard Burrito was acquired in 2022.

Call us to start your franchise journey: 416.597.3173.

Three of Toronto’s best can’t have it wrong.

UK actress Lisa He's mom ran a struggling Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh. Lisa documented her attempt to turn it around, and the video hit 15 million views, eventually giving her mom a proper holiday for the first time in 30 years.

But going viral isn't a long-term fix for a struggling restaurant.

Our founder, David Hopkins, was asked by the BBC's Food Chain podcast for his advice to Lisa on what to do next. Here's a snippet. Click the link below to listen to the full episode.

Creating a restaurant with an already successful parent brand is both a blessing and a challenge. 🍷

For The Modest Butcher we needed to uphold the values of Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery while building a concept that stood on its own, one that celebrated the w**es produced on site.

Every food menu was designed around ingredients that pair well with the w**ery's portfolio.

Working closely with our client made all the difference. They knew their market, knew their product and brought great ideas to the table.

The result: a concept that works as both an extension of the w**ery and a standalone destination in Okanagan w**e country. The Fifteen Group helped shape the positioning, the menu and the brand.

Reviews like this from Olive & Fig are why we are celebrating over 25 years in the business.

“This review truly comes down to one sentence: Our business simply wouldn't be where it is today had we not met David and his team at The Fifteen Group.

When we found The Fifteen Group, we were not even sure whether they would take a call with a small business like ours at the time. But not only did they take the call, David and his team were truly warm and wonderful, and our working relationship has been spectacular since then.

My wife and I left our corporate careers to run our business full-time, but neither of us had any experience operating a food venture. David, Marie, Steve, Chris, Olga and Tricia have all had a huge impact on the way we operate and approach everything from our costing to our operating process, as well as our bookkeeping and at each step they have made it feel like far more than just business, they truly took us under their wing.

I didn't really want to let the cat out of the bag earlier, but at this stage of our growth I'm comfortable saying it's The Fifteen Group that have been our secret weapon. Using the tools, strategies and approach they have taught us, we have transformed from what was once a budding and hopeful pursuit into a professionally structured and properly operating business that has now, again thanks to The Fifteen Group, opened its first headquarters.

We are truly thrilled and thankful, and would highly recommend The Fifteen Group to any other restaurant owners looking to propel their business to the next level.”
