Restaurant & Culinary Operations Consultancy
Aura Hospitality Global works inside your kitchen to fix what quietly drains margin: uncontrolled food cost, wastage, weak portioning, cluttered workflow and missing SOPs. We rebuild menus around contribution margin, standardise recipes, train your brigade and leave behind systems that hold staff performance and profitability in place.
Services
Each engagement is scoped to your outlet, your menu and your team — delivered on the line, documented in writing, and measured against food cost, waste and workflow.
Concept definition, kitchen layout and workflow planning, equipment specification, supplier sourcing and pre-opening SOPs so a new outlet opens with costed recipes and a trained brigade from day one.
A line-by-line review of food cost, wastage, portioning, purchasing, storage discipline and service throughput, followed by a corrective action plan the management team can execute week by week.
Recipe standardisation, yield testing and item-level costing, then menu structure and pricing decisions built around contribution margin, kitchen capacity and what your station layout can realistically deliver.
Hands-on brigade training, station-level checklists, hygiene and temperature logs, prep par levels and performance expectations that keep quality consistent when the founder is not on the floor.
Process
A disciplined sequence — nothing is changed on the line before the numbers behind it are understood.
On-site kitchen and floor assessment: food cost breakdown, wastage points, workflow bottlenecks, storage discipline, staffing structure and current menu performance.
A prioritised plan covering menu structure, costed recipes, purchasing controls, station layout and the SOPs required to hold the standard once it is set.
Working the line with your team: recipe rollouts, station training, checklist and log adoption, prep par levels and supplier alignment.
Review cycles on food cost, wastage, ticket times and staff performance, tightening the system until profitability holds without constant supervision.
