Services & Pricing

Priced for restaurants, not for consultants.

Two monthly plans. A chef writes your kitchen's documentation, builds the numbers behind your menu, and gives your staff a fast way to find all of it mid-service. Every engagement is conducted entirely in writing: no sales calls, no site visits, no meetings.

01 Free audit Sixteen questions, scored as you go
02 Documentation Review, $99 Credited in full to either plan
03 A plan From $59 a month

Founding kitchens The first ten kitchens on either plan keep their price for as long as they stay.

Documentation Review

The entry point

You send what you actually have: recipe files, prep sheets, training notes, safety postings, in whatever state they are in. Mixed formats and half-finished files are normal; they are the point.

You receive a written findings report: an inventory of what exists, every gap ranked by severity, liability first and then cost, and what closing each one involves. Where the material is sound, the report says so.

Add to either plan

Specialized process standard
Reduced oxygen packaging and sous vide, or fermentation and curing: the HACCP-based standard your health department asks for before you run the process, written to your equipment and your code. One revision round after the health department's comments is included. Approval is theirs to give, so it is never promised.
$495 each, one-time
More standardized recipes
Past Kitchen Complete's forty, or on Kitchen Essentials: the same standard, one recipe at a time.
$15 per recipe

The Station Kit

Optional hardware

Every tool runs on the phones and tablets you already own. The Station Kit is for the kitchen that wants purpose-built hardware at the station and the pass: rugged, glove-proof, and set up before it leaves us.

Packing manifestKF-STATION-KIT

The terms, in plain words

Term Twelve months, billed monthly. The first month is billed before work starts.
Paying up front Pay for the year and two months are free.
Delivery Your documents arrive in month one. Recipes arrive over months one to three.
After a year The plan continues month to month. End it in writing whenever you choose.
What you keep Every document delivered to you is yours.
Your data It belongs to you. Export it any time; it is deleted when you leave.
If we are acquired Your agreement moves to the new owner with every data protection intact, and you may leave within 60 days with a full export.

Who this is for, and who it isn't

For Independent restaurants and small groups, single kitchens included. The plans are priced so a kitchen that watches every dollar can still afford them.

Not for Chains large enough to have an internal operations department already doing this work.

Not for Concept development, design, or marketing. That is a different business, and this practice does not pretend to be it.

Written intake

This is how every engagement begins. Describe your operation and the state of your documentation as it actually is. The intake is a working document, not a sales funnel, and you receive a written reply, usually within two business days.
