Culinary Consulting

Great food needs a kitchen that can deliver it.

Chef Shayna works with restaurants and culinary teams on menu development, costing, systems, training, and operational strategy, from pre-opening through stabilization.

Service Areas

Support across the whole operation.

Engagements are scoped to what your operation actually needs, from a single menu overhaul to full pre-opening support.

Restaurant Opening Preparation

Concept-to-open support covering kitchen layout, equipment needs, and launch readiness.

Menu Creation & Refinement

Menus built for your concept, your margins, and the guest you're trying to win.

Recipe Standardization

Recipes documented so any cook can execute the same plate, every service.

Food Costing & Inventory Strategy

Real costing, yield awareness, and inventory discipline that protects margin.

Kitchen Workflow & SOP Development

Station design, prep sequencing, and written standards that hold up on a busy night.

Staff Training & Culinary Leadership

Hands-on training that raises the floor and gives your team a standard to rally around.

Operational Stabilization

Diagnosing what's breaking in service and fixing it at the source.

Ongoing Culinary Support

Continued menu development, audits, and leadership as your operation grows.

Engagements are scoped and quoted individually after an initial consultation.

Consulting Inquiry

Let's talk about your restaurant.

Tell Chef Shayna where you are and what you need. She'll follow up to discuss scope, timeline, and next steps.

Submitting an inquiry does not confirm a date, availability, or pricing.
