About this Gig

Opening night and big functions are where kitchens get exposed. Get a head chef who has run both, without paying a full-time salary.


WHO THIS IS FOR

Owners opening a restaurant, cafe or pub, relaunching a menu, or planning large events and functions.


WHY ME

25 years in kitchens, 15+ as sous/head chef. Several openings, large events and functions, a central prep kitchen supplying 3 Melbourne venues, and a pub takeover where I wrote and launched a full menu solo within days. Fine dining, BBQ, steakhouse, pub, pizza and seafood.


WHAT WE BUILD

- Menu concept and dishes matched to your guests and kitchen

- Recipe specs and costing, profitable from day one

- Kitchen flow and station notes from your floor plan

- Prep/par systems, opening checklists, staffing and prep plans

- Event and function menus, batch prep and run sheets


Remote, in writing and shared docs. Opening dates don't move, so start early: message me your concept, location and date for scope or a custom offer.


Not included: fit-out design, permits, legal advice.
