F&B Master-planning & Architectural Services

Vision-led. Data-driven. Globally trusted.

At MYA, we develop F&B strategies that bring greenfield sites to life, and breathe new energy into existing venues from hotels and resorts to campuses and cultural destinations. Working across the UK and globally, our process combines commercial insight, creativity, and technical rigour to shape spaces that perform now and into the future.

Our approach is grounded in robust data: we use forecasting models to predict footfall, analyse trends, and evaluate the external forces shaping the sector. This gives clients clear visibility on feasibility, ROI, and strategic potential, before committing to complex builds or renovations.

But it doesn’t stop with data. We overlay intelligence with vision, developing concepts that capture imagination, elevate brand identity, and define future-facing food experiences. From ground breaking ideas and sustainable strategies to F&B that resonates with guests, we design with purpose and impact. Our goal? To redefine the consumer experience—and help your site stand out from the pack.

We’re proud to collaborate on some of the most ambitious hospitality projects in the world, partnering with renowned architects and visionary development teams.

Our capabilities span from strategic master-planning through to full design delivery, working across all RIBA stages (1–7). With specialists at every stage of the journey, we deliver through Revit and a fully integrated design process.

No project is too small or too ambitious—we grow our expertise with every brief.

We recently worked with the team at MYA on a bid for a tender for multiple catering sites. Their proactive, innovative and dynamic approach to the task was a breath of fresh air, and we were able to work systematically through a complex set of designs with an abundance of creativity and design options to consider. Throughout the whole process, the team at MYA were fully engaged and, above all, great fun to work with. I will definitely be working with the team again on future projects and would highly recommend them as design consultants.

We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with MYA on the City of London School for Girls project at the Barbican, London. One of the standout aspects of MYA’s involvement was their swift, detailed, and highly effective coordination of design elements. MYA’s proactive approach, attention to detail, and dedication to achieving design harmony made them an invaluable partner in this project. Their ability to strategically align diverse design aspects contributed significantly to the success of the collaboration, reinforcing the importance of well-integrated teamwork in delivering high-quality solutions.

The team, led by Carla McKenzie, were meticulous in every detail. They modelled the cleaning requirements to deliver the optimum solution for the facilities across EMEA, and really took time to understand the culture of our business. I have no hesitation in recommending MYA and its team – they are dedicated and innovative, and always go the extra mile.

Carla and her team have broad experience in the industry. Apart from being very supportive in inventing (new) concepts, they also make use of their many years of experience when implementing these concepts. Their ultimate goal is to let people enjoy honest and good food.

Carla and her team worked tirelessly with us to ensure our very international and cross-cultural needs were met with great creativity and skill. They listened to us, responded to our needs and delivered above expectations.

They are brave enough to challenge others in pursuit of the ultimate solution, whether it be behind the scenes with kitchen flow and catering management, or front-of-house service and design.

If all companies who serve the independent school sector had your breadth of vision and openness of mind, I have little doubt that the sector would be a richer and more exciting place to be.

Phillip Godfrey, Bursar, Halliford School
During the negotiation process, Carla’s knowledge and expertise enabled our company to achieve a very strong commercial outcome, and some significant savings were yielded from the exercise.
