SAVOIA has raised $8 of the $13 million needed to finance a Grand Cafe in Manhattan, a chocolate factory and pastry production facility in the Bronx, and initial operations.
SAVOIA will be unique worldwide: starting with new, state-of-the-art, Swiss-made equipment, Savoia will make the highest possible quality chocolate on a small scale. The chocolate will then be used to craft artisanal bonbons and sold in the cafe, on-line, and through other limited distribution channels. The beautifully designed cafe provides a memorable experience for clients, and depth, impact and leveragability to the brand. Light meals, fine pastry, coffee, tea, and beverages will be served from early morning through late at night, with an emphasis on wine and spirits later; a retail space will sell chocolates, pastries, and other items for gifts or take out. An emphasis on extraordinary design will be another of SAVOIA's hallmarks, having a distinctive, Wiener Werkstaette motif.
Founder Bruce Gilardi's unique background will make him a strong and successful CEO: A degree in hotel administration from Cornell, an MBA from Harvard, and years of experience as an officer in the U.S. Navy, a VP at Goldman Sachs, and many positions in various hospitality venues. Bruce's ability to attract, motivate, and retain a superb team is a key advantage: he has already assembled an impressive group of industry specialists, expert advisers, key employees and partners.
SAVOIA is an extraordinary opportunity for investors. The economics are compelling for three reasons: Vertical integration (starting with beans) increases already generous margins on confections; strong sales volume for two very high-margin items - coffee and liquor; and very efficient real estate utilization due to long opening hours.
