Our Culinary Roots
In a busy restaurant kitchen, operations and development are often mixed together in one big stew — optimization, leadership, cost management, menu development, pricing strategy etc.— all while operating sharp knives and hot ovens, no less. Besides learning how to think on your toes, at the heart of it all is a constant customer-centric focus that helps chefs to understand the customer journey, create memorable experiences, and cultivate customer loyalty.
With extensive experience in the restaurant industry, across a range of roles and customer segments, we bring a distinctive approach to consultancy. We combine an analytical, data-driven approach with creative vision to deliver transformative solutions. Our roots are in the kitchen, but our capabilities extend well beyond.
