Consulting

Consulting & Creative Direction

At Kindling Culinary, consulting is never about imposing a system—it’s about helping you build yours. We work alongside chefs, founders, hospitality groups, and emerging brands to shape ideas into operations that are thoughtful, functional, and built to last. Whether you’re opening something new, refining an existing concept, or pushing into your next phase of growth, our role is to bring clarity, momentum, and experience to the table.


Menu Development & Culinary Identity

We help define food that makes sense—for your space, your team, your guests, and your story. From concept-driven menu creation to recipe development, costing, and execution strategy, we build menus that are intentional, seasonal, and scalable without losing soul. Fire-focused cooking, regional influences, and ingredient-first thinking often anchor our work, but every menu starts with who you are.


Kitchen Design & Workflow

A beautiful menu needs a kitchen that can actually execute it. We consult on kitchen layout, equipment selection, and service flow to ensure your space supports efficiency, safety, and creativity. From live-fire builds to small-footprint restaurants and high-volume event kitchens, we help design systems that work under real-world pressure.


Vendor Relations & Sourcing Strategy

Great food starts long before the stove is lit. We assist with building vendor relationships, sourcing quality proteins and produce, negotiating pricing, and creating supply chains that align with your values and budget. Our approach prioritizes transparency, consistency, and partnerships that support long-term success.


Team Building & Training

Strong kitchens are built by strong teams. We help structure BOH systems, training programs, and operational standards that empower cooks, foster accountability, and create a culture people want to be part of. From opening-day training to leadership development, we focus on setting teams up to succeed—not burn out.


R&D, Testing & Growth

For brands looking to innovate or expand, we offer hands-on R&D support—testing new menu items, refining processes, developing seasonal features, or preparing concepts for scale. We’re especially comfortable in the messy middle: the testing phase where ideas become viable realities.


And More

Kindling Culinary consulting often extends beyond the expected—event strategy, brand storytelling, live-fire activations, content collaboration, and creative direction all come into play when they serve the larger vision. We adapt to the needs of the project, staying flexible while keeping the end goal in focus.

Our Approach
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. Every project begins with listening—understanding your goals, constraints, and ambitions—then building a clear path forward. The work is collaborative, honest, and rooted in real kitchen experience.

If you’re ready to build something with intention, we’re ready to light the fire.
