How do you start a restaurant? That is how conversations often starts with clients. It has long been a dream of many, but it is, at best a daunting task to concept and open a successful restaurant. Hyer Creative can guide a client though every critical decision. Zeal was the brainchild of a Scott Sawant a 20 something entrepreneur with a passion for restaurants. Together Hyer creative was able to advise in the site selection and help to secure an A site location. HC lead all landlord negotiations, ensuring a smooth tenant/landlord relationship. Hyer Creative identified a need for a family friendly, neighborhood driven, upscale casual concept with a hint of international flare. Unique in its BoHo casual elegance, the menu of small plates and healthy entrees maintains the restaurant as a top pick of the locals. The bar strategy was to create a living room environment that allows people to feel relaxed and pampered. Warm jewel tones, mixed with antique mirror and vibrant art makes Zeal feel comfortable to both those in suits and board shorts. Hyer was able to acquire the outdoor sidewalk area to create an outdoor patio that opens up the restaurant, and almost doubles the number of table tops. From start to finish, the name ZEAL is emanated from the smallest detail in the dining room to custom cocktails, and shuffleboard tables. Zeal continues to garner great reviews and a loyal following.
