For anybody opening a kitchen, a counter, a truck or a stall. I come to the space, look at your menu and your equipment, and we build the opening order together in about three hours. What that gets you: the right pan sizes for your line rather than a guess, container sizes matched to your actual portions and your delivery app's packaging, a realistic first order of disposables based on your projected covers instead of the case counts a salesman wants to hit, and an honest list of what to buy used or not at all. I will tell you which items to buy cheap because you will lose them, and which three to spend real money on because you will hate your life otherwise. I have done this for something like 200 openings since 1998, a lot of them in kitchens smaller than my office. Most first orders I build come in 15 to 30 percent under what the person expected to spend. The fee comes off your first order if it is over 1,500 dollars, so for most people it is free. Five boroughs and near Westchester and Jersey. Book at least a week out.
