Kitchen consultancy from operators, not observers

Practical help with the numbers and the running of a kitchen, from people who have run hotel, restaurant and healthcare kitchens rather than written about them.

Operational efficiency review

Kitchen workflow, staffing structure, rota cost and control systems, with a short list of changes ranked by what they save.

Pre-opening and relaunch support

Kitchen layout readiness, equipment commissioning, supplier onboarding, launch timeline and service rehearsals so day one runs as the brand expects.

Menu development and costing

Menu engineering, dish costing, food-cost targets and pricing that holds up in service.

Staff training and onboarding

Section training plans, induction checklists and standards documents that improve retention and consistency.

Compliance and safety

Food safety records, allergen controls, temperature logs and due-diligence systems set up so they are actually kept.

Concept and brand positioning

Turning a culinary idea into a clear concept: audience, price point, signature dishes and a service style the kitchen can deliver every night.

Supplier strategy and procurement

Vendor review, purchasing workflow and negotiation on price, lead time and specification to protect margin without losing quality.

How engagements work

A phone call to scope the problem, then a fixed quote for a half day, a day or a longer project. No retainer unless you want one.
