SmokeHouse Manila: Texas smoke, Medellín soul
An investor brief for acquiring a 55–70-seat smokehouse in Barrio Manila, El Poblado, built around Central Texas barbecue, picanha carving, and a lean operating model.
Field notes
The operating model treats barbecue as batch production: meats are forecast, smoked ahead, and converted into carved portions during service. The page pairs that workflow with scheduled picanha presentations rather than continuous rodizio labor, and proposes a compact South American wine list of 8–12 labels, with 4–6 offered by the glass. Financial assumptions include a stated 40-cover daily break-even point and rent equal to 2.3% of sales.
