Restaurant Menu Consulting in Newport, Laguna and Huntington Beach, California.

I am an executive chef who also offers restaurant food consulting services in and around Newport, Laguna and Huntington Beach, California. The restaurant business is notoriously competitive, often working on tight margins and with remarkable turn-over rates. Around 60% of restaurants in the United States fail within the first year. (Source) As an experienced professional chef, I enjoy being a restaurant business consultant. I have spent years in kitchens throughout the culinary world and am passionate about sharing what I’ve learned. I’ve supervised the opening and contributed to the menu design of more than a dozen restaurants.

What Does a Restaurant Menu Development Consultant Do?

When I plan restaurant openings or run my own catering business, it is helpful for me to have someone with expertise and outside perspective that I can trust and talk with. That’s what I, in turn, supply my clients when they hire me as a consultant. I don’t create menus from scratch or do data gathering about your restaurant patrons.

As a consulting chef, I do, however:
 
  • Give expert advice on existing menus, streamlining or adding to them.
  • Taste dishes and give recommendations for improvement.
  • Discuss the structure of your kitchen and how to make it more efficient.
  • Answer any business questions for those newer to the culinary world. 

Essentially, if you have questions about starting a restaurant, running a restaurant, or custom menu development, call (949) 469-0604 or contact me. I am eager to help.

After we work together in your kitchen, you can enjoy being the recipient of a personal menu for a change, if you hire me as a personal chef for a night or on a regular basis.
