Coming soon
I am Michele Ardoni, a food franchise consultant and catering expert with more than 20 years of experience in innovation in the restaurant and retail industries globally.
Based in Milan, I have built my career transforming restaurant concepts into scalable, high-impact brands. My experience lies in developing food franchise chains, designing operational architectures for food formats and leveraging omnichannel strategies to meet modern consumer needs. Since founding Sciallami©, a pioneering phygital platform that integrates physical and digital catering.
From 2019 to 2024, as an advisor to I Love Poke, I supported their M&A strategy, defined production development and international launch plans, organised executive-level interventions and built long-term advocacy initiatives, while maintaining strict confidentiality on all sensitive aspects.
I specialise in creating efficient operating systems, optimising procurement and scaling catering formats for global markets.
My strategic approach involves creating lobbies and partnerships to amplify industry influence and drive growth. With my deep understanding of consumer behaviour and omnichannel retailing, I help brands connect with customers across all platforms, ensuring seamless experiences.
As an investor and board member of Sublime Torino, I led innovative projects to success, combining operational excellence with forward-looking strategies.
In addition to consulting, I am a guest lecturer and consultant, sharing insights on trends and resilience in the food and beverage industry, from managing pandemics to defining the future of retail. Whether you are a startup or a multinational, I am here to help you grow, innovate and thrive in the dynamic world of food and retail.
