About Sooraj Rajeev

Strategic Connector | F&B Consultant | Global Sourcing Facilitator | Data-Driven Hospitality Leader Expert in Restaurant Operations, Cross-Border Trade, and Brand Growth Strategy Building Bridges Between Restaurants, Suppliers & Global Markets Hi, I’m Sooraj Rajeev — a hospitality professional and global connector who brings not just experience, but strategy, structure, and scalability to every brand I work with. With over 6 years of leadership across fine dining and multi-unit operations in Dubai and India, I’ve grown from managing busy outlets to advising and facilitating business growth for others. My journey started in restaurant operations — mastering P&L control, pre-openings, and guest experience excellence at brands like Relais & Châteaux’s Niraamaya Retreats and Oregano Restaurants. But over time, I realized my true strength lay in connecting businesses — linking the right people, ideas, and opportunities across the F&B and global trade ecosystem. Today, my work focuses on three pillars: F&B Consultancy Helping entrepreneurs and startups bring their restaurant vision to life — from concept creation, menu engineering, and supplier sourcing to operational setup and SOP design. Global Sourcing & Trade Facilitation Building bridges between buyers, suppliers, and logistics partners across borders. I facilitate sourcing connections, export-import relationships, and market entry support — leveraging my growing network instead of physical procurement. Influence & Data-Driven Strategy I share insights, stories, and sourcing knowledge through LinkedIn and social media, transforming my journey into an influence platform. My goal is to combine data analytics, storytelling, and strategy to empower F&B professionals and traders worldwide. I believe in growing with people, not above them — empowering brands to expand smarter, faster, and with integrity. If you’re setting up a restaurant, sourcing across borders, or seeking a strategic partner who understands both people and process, we should connect. Let’s collaborate to build what’s next.
