Where are you right now?
Tap your card.
01
Opening your first café
- Great idea. No plan yet.
- You need the real cost before you sign a lease.
- You need the right team from day one.
Growing your food business
- Your first place works. Will the next one?
- The recipes live in one chef's head.
- You need a kitchen that runs without you.
Fixing your restaurant
- Good food. Empty tables.
- Full every night. Still no profit.
- Every cook makes the dish a different way.
- Your chef leaves. Everything stops.
Launching a food product
- A great recipe. Not yet a product.
- It must taste the same in every batch.
- You need a range, not one item.
Chef Claire + her team fix all of this.
From the first idea to full tables.

What does Claire Sharryn Roberto Consulting do?
We open new restaurants, cafés + hotel kitchens. We fix ones that struggle. We run kitchens for owners. Chef Claire signs off every recipe.
I have never run a restaurant. Can you help?

How does the work start?
With a conversation. Tell us where you are + where you want to go. Then you get a clear plan in writing.
How much does it cost?
Every project is different. The fee depends on the hours needed, how complex the project is, and the size of your menu + team. We agree it before work starts, in your written plan.
How long does it take?
It depends on the job. A small menu for an experienced team, or a single food product, can take about 2 weeks. A larger project, like a new restaurant built from the ground up, can take up to a few months. Your written plan gives you the dates.
