Operator search.
Operator search for the hotel and restaurant industry
Turning real estate into successful businesses.
The hotel and restaurant industry thrives on inspiring concepts, clear positioning, and operational excellence. But no concept can be effective without the right people to implement it. A well-founded search for operators is therefore the key to success – whether it’s a hotel, a restaurant, or a hybrid use of space. Because not every operator is suitable for every property. If you want to rent or lease successfully in the long term, you need a partner who not only looks for space, but also brings vision, experience, and a commercially viable concept to the table.
b_welcome supports you in precisely this task. From professional profile definition and targeted candidate approach to contract drafting and operational support, we help owners, developers, and investors find the right operator for their hotel or restaurant property.
Our approach? Not brokerage at any price, but sustainable operator partnerships that work economically, personally, and conceptually.
Why b_welcome?
The search for an operator begins with strategy.
The decision on an operator is one of the most important decisions you will make. That is why we focus on an approach that is not aimed at a quick deal, but at long-term success. Our search for an operator begins with listening – because only those who understand your expectations, values, and goals can find the right partners.
Network strength for your search for an operator.
We know the hotel and restaurant market in Switzerland – and we know the players. We combine this knowledge with a carefully curated network of operators, concept developers, and investors, giving you real access to proven and innovative partners in your search for an operator.
Reliability instead of mass placement.
We stand for a discreet, selective approach. We only recommend operators we are convinced of ourselves – with solid experience, robust concepts, and an entrepreneurial mindset. No gut feeling, but proven quality.
Strategic matching instead of random selection.
Our operator search is based on a systematic process: location analysis, target group definition, concept comparison, credit check – so that in the end, not only the numbers add up, but also the vision. Because only when the concept, the property, and the people fit together can real added value be created.
Personal operator search on equal terms.
b_welcome is not a platform, but a personal partner. We accompany owners through the entire operator search process – with experience, tact, and a clear focus on your entrepreneurial goals.
A strong business starts with the right choice.
Our services for finding operators.
Operator search is more than just advertisements and viewings. It’s about strategy, structure, and trust. What are your requirements for the future business? What are your economic goals? And what leeway do you have in terms of rental model, contract term, or operating concept?
With our professional operator search service for the hotel and restaurant industry, we help you answer these questions in concrete terms – and make informed decisions that suit your property and your goals.
Whether it’s an existing property or a project development, we support you in all the crucial phases:
Location analysis and operator profile.
We analyze the location, target groups, competitive environment, and usage requirements—and use this information to develop a specific operator profile that suits both the property and the market environment.
Approach and selection process.
We approach suitable operators from our network, structure the selection process, and accompany discussions, concept presentations, and decision-making – transparently and efficiently.
Negotiation and securing.
Beyond the search for an operator, we support you in drafting contracts, negotiate on equal terms with potential operators, and ensure an economically viable and legally sound partnership.
Support until the start of operations.
Successful operation does not begin with moving in, but with implementation. We coordinate interfaces, accompany the start-up, and ensure that the property becomes a functioning business.
Risk assessment and exit strategies.
What happens if a concept does not prove successful? We also consider your search for an operator in terms of scenarios and help with the structuring of exit clauses, succession arrangements, or renegotiations.
After a successful search for an operator...
Even after a successful search for an operator and the conclusion of a contract, we remain at your side as a sparring partner – coordinating KPIs, ongoing adjustments, and the further development of the operator concept.
