While Lebanon's hospitality industry ranks among the top three sectors crucial to its economy, it faces minimal regulation and suffers from a lack of sufficient government-sponsored training and support. Many establishments have struggled in the face of intense competition, economic crises and other factors, leaving them without a safety net.
Founded by industry expert Pierre Akiki in 2007, Next Ideaz stepped in to address this gap and guide these businesses toward profitability. The enthusiastic response from Lebanese hotels, restaurants, and franchises was so overwhelming that the company quickly found itself flooded with clients
Over the years, Next Ideaz has had the privilege of providing consultancy services and establishing partnerships with some of the world's most exceptional brands. We take pride in our capability to not only successfully introduce new brands and high-value concepts but also significantly reduce expenses, increase sales and generate profits in just six months. Next Ideaz has played an essential role in helping retails, factories, farms, hotels, fine dining establishments, quick service restaurants (QSRs), beach resorts, theme parks and various other businesses across the Middle East build brand equity and expand into new regional markets within two years of their establishment
Next Ideaz gained recognition in the industry due to the satisfaction of its clients and the trust of partners and colleagues in the company's integrity. This success prompted Dr. Pierre to bring aboard his trusted partners: ABDO WAKED and RAMZI ABOU JALAD, both industry experts. Together, they assembled a highly successful team characterized by unity and loyalty, which includes financial analysts, managerial accountants, supply chain manager, cost control manager, cost analysts, franchise manager, and food and beverage specialists.
In response to the growing demand from hospitality enterprises abroad, Next Ideaz expanded its operations by opening an office in California, USA in 2022. Presently, the company offers its services in other states, such as Rhode Island and Boston.
