Chef Consultant

As a business owner, you have enough on your plate. Understanding and problem solving within the food industry requires not just skill and passion but also innovation and strategic insight. At Good Food Studio, we empower restaurants, cafes, and other food-related businesses to exceed their culinary ambitions. With a deep understanding of the food industry as well as business acumen, we provide bespoke consulting services that enhance kitchen operations, refine menus, and enrich the dining experience for your customers.

What is a chef consultant?

Chef consulting services are specialised advisory services provided to restaurants, cafes, catering companies, and food businesses to enhance their menu offerings, improve kitchen efficiency, optimise food costs, and elevate overall guest satisfaction. Our chef consultants bring a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to your kitchen, identifying opportunities for innovation while honouring what makes your brand stand out.

What can a chef consultant do for you?

Each food business, be it a fledgling startup or an established player, has its unique opportunities and challenges to overcome. It can be difficult to find a good development, executive or head chef that understands what makes your brands unique, while being able to integrate within your operation and being able to maintain keeping things commercially viable. As chef consultants, the team at Good Food Studio works for you and with you, benefiting from a breadth of knowledge from across multiple disciplines in the industry. Our services are broad, offering a bespoke plan that aligns with your business goals, emphasising creativity, sustainability, and profitability.

Competitor analysis

We conduct thorough analyses of your competitors to understand market trends and customer expectations. Helping identify strengths and weaknesses both within the market but also within your business. This insight helps in identifying opportunities for differentiation and gaining a competitive advantage.

Product development

Coming up with new innovative products or revamping existing products is just as much about preparation as much as it is about execution. The methodology and research conducted before anything goes into a kitchen is typically what separates the success stories from the flops. Working in collaboration with your team and with an understanding of the market, through cooks and recooks, we ensure that products developed are feasible commercially and operationally. With an end result that meets your expectations as well as that of your customers. Innovative product development has the capability to transform a business, staying ahead of trends and keeping up with the evolving paletes of its clientele.

Menu consultancy

From new concepts to a new seasonal menu, a chef consultant can create a new menu that resonates with your brand that looks as good on the plate as it does on paper. From cost and nutritional analysis to keeping your food offering in line with trends, chef consultants can help push your menus to another level.
