Building and repairing the kitchen cost control system

Without a system behind the kitchen, there is no real control either. I build the operational structure that makes the kitchen’s finances transparent and measurable.

Recipe development and food cost calculation

Do you know how much a portion actually costs? Gram-precise recipes, cost calculation, and a system that shows you where changes are worthwhile.

Inward handling optimization and supplier relations

Raw material prices are constantly changing – but most kitchens don't keep up. I'll examine your current inward handling and show you where you can save without sacrificing quality. Where necessary, I can also help you achieve better supplier terms through my personal network.

Continuous price monitoring & reporting

Ingredient prices shift constantly and move food cost with them, yet in most places nobody tracks this regularly. I take over entering supplier invoices into the system, which gives me real-time visibility of price movements, and I send regular reports to the chef or to management.

Stock and inventory management

This is where most of the invisible loss comes from. I put in place a system that makes stock movement trackable and controllable. A regular stocktake then gives you real data, not just paperwork.

System rollout and training

A system only works if people use it correctly. I implement practical workflows and train your team to ensure long-term consistency and accountability.

Ongoing control

Kitchen management is not a one-time project. Regular audits, reviews, and adjustments keep your operation efficient as your business grows and changes.

Creative support

I think like a chef too – once the numbers show us where the problem is, I can suggest practical solutions as well: substituting ingredients, adjusting recipes, rethinking portions.

Creative Development

Looking to change your menu but don't know where to start? Want to open with a new concept, or just modernize your existing offerings?

I think like a chef, but not just about creativity. When we develop a new menu, we also consider ingredient costs, kitchen capacity, and practical feasibility. I can also help introduce modern culinary techniques that not only result in more exciting dishes but can also be more cost-effective.

Kitchen Projects

I have been involved in building several kitchens, from small units to large projects. That means not only experience, but also strong connections in the kitchen equipment trade.

Whether you're planning a development, looking for new equipment, or opening a restaurant from scratch, feel free to reach out. Whether it's organizing a minor equipment replacement or designing and building a complete kitchen, I'll guide you through the project from the initial plan to handover, as needed.

F.A.Q.

Every establishment that has kitchen operations – restaurants, bars, bistros, street food places, catering companies, or smaller eateries. The size of the business doesn't matter – wherever there's a need for a system and transparency, I can help.

Yes. In many cases it isn’t that the system is missing, but that it isn’t working properly. I review the existing processes and identify the errors – whether in recipes, stock handling or costings.

Both are possible. Sometimes the goal is system design or repair, while other times long-term control is needed: monthly inventory, managing discrepancies, reporting, and continuous optimization.

Most kitchens don't lose profit due to one big mistake, but rather a collection of many small, invisible losses. Inaccurate recipes, poor purchasing, unmonitored inventory, or incorrect food cost calculations. When these become visible, operations become more predictable and profitable.
