Planning a menu that can be delivered consistently and cost-efficiently is critical to any restaurant’s success. Our food-concept services help you create a menu that is gastronomically and operationally perfected for you

With a large social network of close industry followers and a finger firmly on the pulse of the London hospitality scene we are able to swiftly anticipate and connect chefs, looking to make their next move, with upcoming opportunities before they reach the market
Procurement
True collaboration with suppliers is how to get the best from one another. Our network of trusted business partners - experts in their respective fields - have been established over years in the industry.
Accounting
Monthly reporting, balance sheets, food margin - we expect more and more of our chefs to drive down costs and increase efficiency. We provide the tools, process and methodology to keep track with minimal effort.
Case Studies
I was brought onto the Hotel to support the team during a re structure time. The Hotels menus need a complete overhaul, from design to costing, tasting and implementation. I then moved onto the Banqueting menus, breakfast and Kiosk. While working on these I supported the hotel with meetings, the Christmas season and social media input. I also recruited them an executive chef who is still currently there, improved the procurement process in turn helping them achieve over 3% increase in their margins and liaised with all suppliers and negotiated better prices all round
