FAQ

Common Questions

What does kitchen operations consulting cover?

Kitchen workflow and station design, recipe standardization, food cost and portion control, vendor sourcing and pricing, prep systems, quality control standards, menu item profitability, and kitchen staff training and accountability.

How do you reduce food cost?

We standardize recipes and portions, review the profitability of each menu item, and look at vendor sourcing and pricing. Ingredient cross-utilization helps cut waste and tighten your order guide.

Can you develop new menu items?

Yes. Menu development runs through our Culinary Program: up to 25 new menu items and up to 15 existing items improved, with two revision rounds per item in tasting sessions with you. Every item gets full recipe specs and food-cost guidance.

Do you work with our chef or replace them?

We work with your chef and kitchen team. We build the systems, recipes, and workflows. Your team executes them.

What do we keep at the end?

Typical take-home materials include a recipe book, a food costing workbook, ingredient and prep guides, kitchen opening and closing procedures, checklists and SOPs, prep and production standards, and storage and organization guidelines.

How much does the Culinary Program cost?

For a new opening, $18,000 to $30,000. For an existing restaurant, $8,000 to $16,000. Your exact price is confirmed after a free consultation.
