Hospitality Business Consultant, London

Running a successful hospitality business requires more than great food — it demands operational precision, smart cost management, a well-trained team and an exceptional guest experience. Tallow and Shun provides specialist hospitality consultancy to restaurants, cafes, hotels, catering companies and food entrepreneurs across London.

​

What We Offer

​

Menu Engineering and Profitability

Your menu is one of the most powerful tools in your business. We analyse your current menu through the lens of both guest appeal and margin performance, identifying which dishes are carrying the business and which are quietly losing money. We then work with you to redesign your menu to maximise profitability without sacrificing guest experience.

​

Kitchen Operations

Efficient kitchen operations reduce labour costs, waste and stress. We review your current workflows, systems and team structures to identify improvement opportunities. Whether it is reworking prep schedules, standardising recipes or redesigning your kitchen layout for better flow, we bring practical, real-world solutions.

​

Cost Control and Waste Reduction

Food waste and poor cost control are silent killers for hospitality businesses. We implement robust systems for portion control, stock management, supplier negotiation and waste tracking — helping you bring your food cost in line with industry benchmarks.

​

New Concept Development

Planning to open a new restaurant, cafe or food concept? We work with clients at every stage of the development process — from initial concept, menu and brand positioning through to kitchen design, team recruitment and soft launch planning.

Training and Standards

We deliver staff training on food standards, service quality and kitchen hygiene. Our training programmes are practical, engaging and tailored to your operation.

​

Whom We Work With

Our consultancy clients include independent restaurant owners, multi-site operators, hotel food and beverage departments, catering companies, pop-up food businesses and food entrepreneurs looking to enter the market.

​
