Client Overview

Casablanca Seafood operates as Miami’s premier boat-to-table seafood restaurant with 30+ years of commercial fishing operation integration. The establishment combines upscale casual dining with direct-from-vessel seafood sourcing, offering unmatched freshness and authentic waterfront dining experiences along the Miami River.

Challenge

Casablanca required comprehensive startup consulting to integrate their successful fishing operations with both restaurant development and seafood market operations. The complex project involved coordinating multiple elements including dual concept development, operational programming, and marketing development while maintaining their unique boat-to-table authenticity across both venues.

TRG’s Solution

TRG provided complete startup consulting services encompassing every aspect of restaurant and seafood market development. Our team created concept development frameworks highlighting the unique boat-to-table positioning for both operations, designed efficient kitchen layouts accommodating fresh seafood processing, and developed comprehensive operational programming. We managed equipment selection and procurement, created hiring and training protocols, developed marketing strategies, and provided owner representation throughout the entire development process.

Results

Casablanca Seafood launched successfully as South Florida’s most authentic boat-to-table operation, with both restaurant and seafood market achieving immediate recognition for unparalleled freshness and quality. The integrated operations model generates multiple revenue streams from restaurant sales, wholesale fish market operations, and retail seafood sales. TRG’s programming and menu development were successfully replicated for a second location, demonstrating the scalability of the concept and operational systems.
