Concept & Menu Development Services
Award-winning Culinary Design
Menus and concepts that drive sales & keep guests coming back.
We create concepts and menus that guests love and operators can profit from. Whether building a brand new menu or elevating your current one, we take a holistic approach to align your cuisine and pricing with current trends, culinary influences, primary business objectives and local market demand. The result is a concept that’s focused, a menu that sells, and margins that hold up on busy and slow nights alike.
Concept Development
Opening a new venue or starting a concept from scratch? We’ll work with you to define the cuisine and overall brand, taking into account local competition and demand, current culinary trends, your production capabilities, staff skillset and overall business goals. Together we’ll create a concept that is focused and original.
Menu Creation & Recipe Development
After researching your target market, geographic location, industry trends, style of cuisine and overall business goals, we develop menu(s) that drive sales, create excitement in the community and keep your guests coming back for more.
Menu Training & Execution
Building a delicious menu is only the first step. It’s imperative that your team can execute the entire menu with consistency. We can work with just leadership or your full culinary team to show how each menu item is prepped, plated and executed.
Food Costing & Profitability
Without accurate food costing, it’s impossible to accurately measure your profits or evaluate the performance of your kitchen. We can food cost every item on your menu, and implement a system that ensures your menu is competitively and profitably priced going forward.
Order Guides & Vendor Relations
Knowing exactly what to order and from who is critical for having the correct products at the appropriate price. We create detailed order guides for each purveyor so that whoever is running the kitchen can order items consistently.
Kitchen Checklists & Station Prep Lists
We harp on consistency because it is the cornerstone of any successful restaurant business. As part of this effort, we will create prep lists for every station, and checklists for opening and closing kitchen duties.
Private Dining / Group Sales
Private events and groups sales are one of the biggest sources of revenue in the hospitality world. Whether you have a dedicated event space or would simply like to offer the ability to host private events, we’ll work with you to setup a private dining program with mouth-watering menus that generate interest and drive profits.
Glassware & Plateware
Every touchpoint and visual element within your venue is part of the experience and plays a role in the appearance of your concept. We’ll help you select plateware, glassware and other items that help foster the desired ambiance and vibe, while also ensuring that every item is functional for service.
