Horizon Hospitality Solutions is a vertically integrated complete turn-key food service transformation provider.  While there are many companies that perform consulting, food service design, planning, casework manufacturing or general contracting we offer and unique and highly integrated blend of these services packaged into one powerful completely turn-key impressive solution.  Most providers are heavily diversified and spread out thin by engaging in office building, industrial, healthcare or retail construction and renovation – we only do food service transformations.  This creates a world of difference when a client is considering renovations in the food services areas.  Would you want a general practitioner or a specialty expert managing the entire process?

 

While we do have a great network of approved vendors that we leverage to advance the projects, we exert complete control on the mission critical functions by performing them in-house by our highly trained and motivated team: Planning, Project Management, Engineering, Casework Manufacturing and Construction Management.  This highly lean, integrated and streamlined process  enables us to deliver record-breaking turn-around times and unmatched quality.
