What avanti food & beverage - a collective eatery does

Avanti Food & Beverage is a privately held, multi-location food hall operator founded in 2015 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The company operates a "collective eatery" model inspired by European markets and food truck roundups, currently running three Colorado locations: Denver (LoHi, opened 2015), Boulder (Pearl Street, opened 2020), and Vail (Golden Peak, opened 2025). Each venue hosts 5–7 independent food stall concepts under one roof, anchored by multiple bar programs offering craft cocktails, draft beer, and wine. Across the three sites, Avanti aggregates 19 food stalls (7 in Denver, 7 in Boulder, 5 in Vail) plus 7 bars and several large outdoor patios positioned as destination dining with scenic views (Denver skyline, Boulder Flatirons, Vail mountain).

The company monetizes through three primary streams: (1) food and beverage sales generated across the multi-stall format on a walk-in, no-reservation basis; (2) short-term (1–2 year) leases to independent chefs and emerging restaurateurs as a chef incubator program, providing Avanti rental income while rotating concepts; and (3) private event bookings (corporate, milestone, social) managed through Tripleseat, with catering menus at each location. Pricing is menu-based and varies by stall concept, with Happy Hour and Late Night programs driving weekday traffic. Supporting technology is third-party SaaS: BentoBox for the website and online ordering infrastructure, Toast Tab for gift cards, 7Shifts for workforce scheduling, and Tripleseat for event inquiry management. Avanti serves a broad consumer base — local residents, tourists, and food/drink enthusiasts — alongside a B2B segment for private events and an emerging-chef supply side for vendor recruitment. Marketing is event-driven (trivia, live music, outdoor movies, Yappy Hour, Industry Night) and amplified through Instagram, TikTok, email signup, and earned media from regional outlets. The company is founder/operator managed with no disclosed institutional investment or parent entity.

Revenue model

1. Food & Beverage Sales: Primary revenue from sales across multiple food stalls and bars at three Colorado locations. Each of the 7 stalls (Denver), 7 stalls (Boulder), and 5 stalls (Vail) operates as an independent concept offering diverse cuisines. Beverage revenue includes craft cocktails, beer on draft, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks. The company acts as a landlord/operator, hosting independent chef concepts under one roof.
2. Chef Incubator / Vendor Leases: Avanti provides space for independent chefs and restaurateurs to launch concepts at a fraction of the cost of a brick-and-mortar restaurant, using short-term leases (1-2 years). This creates a rotating roster of food concepts, generating lease/rental income while incubating emerging culinary talent.
3. Private Event Bookings: Avanti rents out its versatile indoor and patio spaces for private events including corporate gatherings, milestone celebrations, and intimate social events. A space rental fee is charged, with catering menus available for each location. Bookings are managed through a Tripleseat-powered inquiry system.
