Café Sol Anjuna
Beachside Café Setup
From Dream to Beachside Reality
When Maria and João approached HorecaCraft with their vision of a Portuguese-inspired beachside café in Anjuna, they had passion but lacked the expertise to navigate Goa's complex hospitality landscape. Their dream was to create an authentic café experience that would capture both the laid-back Goan vibe and the vibrant energy of Anjuna's beach culture.
Our team began with comprehensive market research, identifying the perfect location just 200 meters from Anjuna Beach with high foot traffic from both tourists and locals. We handled the complete licensing process, securing FSSAI certification, trade license, and fire safety NOC within 45 days – a process that typically takes 3-4 months when done independently.
The kitchen setup was designed for efficiency and compliance, featuring commercial-grade equipment sourced through our verified vendor network. We implemented a streamlined workflow that allows the small team to serve 150+ customers daily during peak season. Our staff training program ensured consistent service quality, while our menu engineering optimized both cost and customer satisfaction.
Today, Café Sol Anjuna serves over 200 customers daily during peak season, with a 4.8-star Google rating and consistent profitability. The owners have already approached us for their second location in Baga, testament to our end-to-end approach that transforms hospitality dreams into sustainable businesses.

The Red Palm Baga
Resort Transformation
Complete Resort Transformation Success
The Red Palm Baga came to HorecaCraft as a struggling 25-room property with declining occupancy rates and outdated facilities. The owners, the Sharma family, had inherited the property but lacked the hospitality expertise to compete in Baga's competitive resort market. They needed a complete transformation that would reposition their property as a premium destination.
Our comprehensive approach began with a detailed feasibility study and market positioning analysis. We identified the opportunity to transform the property into a boutique resort targeting young professionals and couples seeking a premium Goa experience. The renovation included complete interior redesign, upgraded amenities, and the addition of a rooftop restaurant and bar.
HorecaCraft managed every aspect of the transformation: architectural planning, contractor coordination, equipment sourcing, and regulatory compliance. We implemented modern property management systems, trained the entire staff on hospitality excellence, and developed comprehensive SOPs for consistent service delivery. Our vendor network provided everything from luxury furnishings to commercial kitchen equipment at competitive prices.
The transformation was completed in 6 months, and The Red Palm Baga now maintains 85% average occupancy with rates 40% higher than before renovation. The property has earned a 4.7-star rating on booking platforms and has become one of Baga's most sought-after boutique resorts. The success has enabled the owners to expand their hospitality portfolio with our continued support.

Hostel Uno Vagator
Backpacker Hostel Launch
Backpacker Paradise Creation
Arjun, a young entrepreneur and avid traveler, envisioned creating Goa's most vibrant backpacker hostel in Vagator. Having experienced hostels worldwide, he understood the market but needed expert guidance to navigate the complex setup process in India. His vision was to create a community-focused space that would become the go-to destination for budget travelers seeking authentic Goan experiences.
HorecaCraft's approach focused on understanding the unique requirements of hostel operations. We designed dormitory layouts that maximized occupancy while ensuring comfort and privacy. The common areas were planned to encourage social interaction, featuring a communal kitchen, co-working space, and rooftop hangout area with stunning Vagator cliff views.
Our team handled the complex licensing requirements specific to hostel operations, including fire safety compliance for dormitory-style accommodation and health department approvals for shared facilities. We sourced specialized hostel furniture, implemented keyless entry systems, and established partnerships with local tour operators and activity providers to enhance the guest experience.
Hostel Uno Vagator launched with a soft opening that attracted backpackers through strategic social media marketing and partnerships with travel bloggers. Within three months, the hostel achieved 90% occupancy during peak season and has maintained strong bookings year-round. The property has become a hub for the backpacker community in North Goa, with guests often extending their stays and returning for repeat visits.
