My culinary background ranges from high-volume banquet production and catering to Michelin-starred fine dining and QSR operations. I focus on implementing measures that produce the highest quality food possible given your staff, clientele, finances and aspirations.
My goal is to enhance your restaurant's niche while running a precise and lean kitchen and exploring revenue-enhancing techniques. We can assess front of house needs, service upgrades, staff training, and menu design possibilities. I can also assist in creating a marketing plan and realistic budgets that are key elements in any restaurant opening.
