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
