Jack Crosti brings a unique perspective to business brokerage—one forged in the demanding kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants and refined through years of hospitality excellence. His journey from Italy's culinary traditions to New Zealand's vibrant dining scene has created an unparalleled understanding of what makes hospitality businesses truly valuable.
After training under some of Europe's most celebrated chefs, Jack established himself in New Zealand's competitive restaurant landscape. His award-winning establishment didn't just serve exceptional food—it created experiences that resonated with critics and customers alike, earning recognition that few in the industry achieve.
This deep operational knowledge became Jack's greatest asset when he transitioned into business sales. Unlike traditional brokers who see numbers on a spreadsheet, Jack sees the soul of a business—the systems, culture, and intangible elements that create lasting value. He understands that selling a hospitality business isn't just a transaction; it's the culmination of years of passion, hard work, and dreams.
Today, Jack combines his hospitality expertise with precision business acumen to guide owners through one of the most important decisions of their lives. His approach is both analytical and empathetic, ensuring that every client receives not just professional service, but genuine care and understanding throughout the process.

A Personal Note from Jack

A Personal Note from Jack
My love for hospitality hasn't diminished since transitioning into business sales—if anything, it's grown stronger. I still find myself drawn to exceptional restaurants, still passionate about the craft that brought me here, and still deeply committed to the people who pour their hearts into this industry.
What drives me now is the opportunity to support owners at one of the most pivotal moments in their lives. Selling a business you've built is never just about the numbers—it's about legacy, dreams, and the next chapter. I'm here to ensure that transition happens with the care, precision, and respect it deserves.
When you work with Lumi, you're not just getting a broker. You're getting someone who understands your world, respects your journey, and is committed to achieving the best possible outcome for your future.
