I recently opened Herbert Restaurant in Noosa Junction. Russell and his team's assistance with planning and licensing during the building of my restaurant was outstanding. Engaging professionals like RG Strategic saved us time and money, allowing us to focus on areas where we could have the most impact. I will be using them on our next project.

Russell and the team at RG Strategic were extremely efficient with helping to provide our business with our Liquor Licence. We engaged with them based off of their reputation, having represented other high-profile restaurants in the area. They kept us updated throughout the process and made it very seamless and simple. We feel very supported and appreciate the team's incredible service. We are glad to have worked with Russell and RG Strategic. Thanks again :)
