Interim culinary director
Searching for the right director can be a very long process. Weeks can easily turn into months, and most administrators don't have the time to run their kitchen. We can ease that burden with our years of management experience in both single-kitchen and multi-kitchen operations. We can step in and assume daily tasks:
oversee food production
fill in as support chef
inventory, purchasing & cost control
scheduling & managing staff
staff training
regulatory compliance & kitchen maintenance
customer service
transition from from 3rd party management to self-op
