How to succeed as a restaurateur by Hugo Warner

Hugo Warner, 40, is co-founder of the Benugo restaurant business started by himself and his brother, Ben, 45, in 1998. Their first outlet was a small café in Clerkenwell, which was made popular by locals within two weeks of opening.

Since then, the brothers have moved into providing cafés and restaurants to the UK’s cultural spaces. They now have 1,100 staff and more than 30 sites — including the café at the V&A and the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen in Hyde Park — five of which have opened within the past 12 months.
