For restaurant consultants
Your work happens in the restaurant, often between lunch and dinner. Put the restaurant’s address on every visit, quote an opening as a project with a share up front, and sell a half day for the menu review.

Visits at the restaurant
Each half day carries the restaurant’s address, so the visit, the confirmation and the reminder all point to the same door.
An opening as an offer
Send an offer with the scope of the opening and a share due now. The rest is invoiced from the client’s row as the opening reaches each stage.
Your page on the first day
This is the consulting setup, and it’s what your page starts with. Change any of it where it appears.
- Clients can book from tomorrow onward.
- Moving or canceling is free up to 24 hours before.
- There are 15 minutes clear after every session.
- Before booking, your page asks: “What should I read before we talk?”
Your engagement letter opens with this: Advice is given in good faith on the information you share; decisions and outcomes stay yours.
Questions restaurant consultants ask
What does a restaurant consultant do?
Helps an owner fix or open a restaurant: menu and costing, the kitchen’s flow, hiring and training, and the numbers. The scope decides the fee.
How do restaurant consultants charge?
A day or half-day rate for reviews, and a project fee for an opening, paid in stages.
When should a restaurant hire a consultant?
Before opening, or as soon as food costs or reviews start slipping. Waiting until the money runs out leaves little room to fix anything.
What gets in the way
Owners can talk only between services, and every visit gets moved twice.
An opening project grows from the menu to the hiring to the suppliers.
Restaurants pay late in a slow month, which is when they called you.
What it doesn’t do for you
There’s no point of sale, no recipe costing and no staff scheduling. The page holds the visits, the offers and the money.
