Sometimes the hardest thing one can have as a business owner is perspective. I know that I struggled with this at times when I put
my heart and soul into my much-loved inner-west cafe, Neumann’s Kitchen. With the great successes came the odd culinary disappointment. As business grew, I was keen to illicit more but like so many, was time-poor.
The excitement one feels when entering the world of owner/operator is challenged when the days become longer, family priorities take second place and the hard work is not always matched in dollars received. Passion converted into profit is a fine line, and this is where another set of constructive hands and commercial and consumer knowledge is invaluable.
I have spent most of my working life in the hospitality industry, and in many roles; ranging from Front of House, Commercial Kitchen, Specialized Catering, Personal Chef, Home Economist and Food Writer. I am able to see from every perspective the trials and tribulations of being a Cafe Owner/Operator and have recently found great satisfaction in helping others work towards their goals.
Consider Commercial Menu Design by Corby-Sue as another valuable supplier, or much needed staff member temporarily added to your business. Whether it’s a seasonal menu update, implementation of stock & prep systems or a monthly front-of-house ‘window make-over’, I have the skills to help.
My consultancy fee is based on your needs and desired length of time. It is how I operate all of my services because I strongly believe that no two situations are the same. Together we will identify and assess your business’ weaknesses and strengths. At this point, I will create a plan of action, refine, then implement, and review accordingly.
Sometimes two cooks in the kitchen are better than one!
