REAL

PROJECTS

Most of the businesses I work with don’t have a kitchen problem.
They have a structure problem.

Restaurants helped

Menus created

optimisations

Happy businesses

Below are examples of projects where I supported gastronomic businesses in organising their operations, making better decisions, and building solid foundations at key moments in their development.

SPROUT & CO

Context

Before 2016, Sprout & Co had a single location and was in a strong growth phase.

The Challenge

The project needed a solid operational foundation to scale without losing control.
Without clear structure, growth implied risks related to costs, organisation, and consistency across locations.

My role

I supported the project by working on:

  • Design and development of seasonal menus, in collaboration with the group’s executive chefs
  • Cost control and profitability
  • Kitchen organisation

Team training and structuring

Key decisions

  • Standardisation of operational processes
  • Clear definition of workflows
  • Creation of replicable tools for new locations

Result

Sprout & Co grew from one location to seven, consolidating its presence while operating with greater clarity, control, and autonomy.

If you’re in a similar growth phase, we can talk about it.

LITTLE FERN

Context

A brunch restaurant with a New Zealand–inspired concept that needed to improve operations and overall coherence.

The Challenge

 

  • Poorly standardised processes 
  • A menu not well adapted to operational reality 
  • Need for greater day-to-day efficiency

Work Carried Out

  • Workflow optimisation
  • Menu review and adaptation, moving towards a more reduced and executable proposal
  • Recipe adjustments aligned with the team’s real capacity
  • Support during a concept shift during the pandemic, transitioning to a vegetarian offering

Result

A more efficient kitchen and a successful adaptation to new market demands, while preserving the project’s identity.

NEO COFFEE HOUSE

Context

A business initially focused on coffee and pastries, looking to evolve its gastronomic offering.

The Challenge

Expand the offer without losing operational control or compromising profitability.

Intervention

  • Development of a profitable vegan menu
  • Implementation of accessible operational tools
  • Advice on equipment and supplier selection

Result

Since 2022, Neo Coffee House has established itself as a reference for specialty coffee and vegan brunch, strengthening its positioning.

If you’re in a similar growth phase, we can talk about it.

MITZI BRUNCH

Context

A vegetarian brunch project with an open kitchen and limited space.

The Challenge

 

Optimise space usage, improve operational efficiency, and develop a profitable menu proposal.

Work Carried Out

  • Redesign of the kitchen layout
  • Development of a vegetarian brunch menu adapted to operations
  • Integration of equipment that improved workflows

Second phase of support

After the initial phase, the project reached out again for a second stage focused on developing a take-away offer, adapted to both operations and market demand.

Result

A more efficient kitchen and a clear proposal capable of adapting to different formats without losing coherence.

FONDA CAN MISÈRIAS

Context

Opening of a restaurant with a 100% Catalan gastronomic concept, supported from the very early stages of the project.

The Challenge

To define from scratch a 100% Catalan gastronomic identity, coherent with the history of the venue, and build a profitable operation capable of running autonomously from day one.

Work carried out

  • Menu design and definition of the gastronomic concept
  • Development of profitable cost structures
  • Creation of detailed recipe and dish sheets
  • Kitchen design and equipment definition
  • Selection and training of the kitchen team

Result

An operational foundation aligned with the project’s identity and prepared to function sustainably from day one.

MAIKS — BRUNCH

Context

Opening of a brunch project in Poblenou, Barcelona, from initial definition through post-opening.

The Challenge

To launch a brunch project in Poblenou with a clear concept, a functional kitchen and a trained team, ensuring a smooth and organised opening with no room for improvisation.

Work Carried Out

  • Design of a profitable brunch menu
  • Development of cost structures and cost control
  • Kitchen design and equipment selection
  • Recruitment and training of the kitchen team
  • Post-opening support and follow-up

Result

An organized operational launch and a kitchen prepared to work with clarity from the start.
