Three people, three thirds of the same job

Concept and growth. Menu and training. Systems and data. A restaurant needs all three working, which is why none of us runs an engagement alone.

Concept, feasibility and growth: the decisions that settle whether a restaurant survives its second year.

Hamza started CulinaPro after years of watching well-funded restaurants open beautifully and close quietly. The pattern was almost never the food. It was a lease signed before the maths, a kitchen designed around the seating plan, and a menu nobody had costed.

He leads concept work, feasibility and growth planning. On most engagements he is the one asking the uncomfortable question in the first meeting: what return do you actually need, and does this location support it?

He also runs audits and rescue work for restaurants that are already open and struggling, and stays with clients after launch to plan the next outlet.

What he owns: discovery, feasibility models, concept and kitchen planning, restaurant audits and rescue, growth planning, and the client relationship from first call to handover.

The menu and the people who sell it: what each dish costs, what it earns, and a team that can recommend it with confidence.

Aakash builds menus that make money and teams that can sell them. He takes every dish apart: food cost, portion, price, and how often it actually sells. Then he decides what stays, what gets repriced and what goes, without letting quality slip.

The other half of his work is training. A good menu still fails if the floor can’t explain it. Aakash trains kitchen and service teams on menu knowledge, ingredients, preparation and presentation standards, upselling and handling guest questions, until every staff member can recommend a dish and the guest gets the same experience on every visit.

He works with the kitchen and service teams together, so standards hold up during a busy service and not just on paper.

What he owns: menu engineering, food costing, pricing and portion control, menu performance reviews, and staff training for kitchen and service teams.

Every system the restaurant runs on — POS, inventory software, delivery platforms, website and the numbers they produce.

A modern restaurant runs on software whether anyone planned it or not: a POS, an inventory app, three delivery dashboards, a reservation tool and a rating page. Taher makes those talk to each other and produce numbers the owner can act on.

He selects and sets up the POS and inventory stack, gets the data out of it in a form worth reading, manages the delivery platform back-ends, and builds the reporting that our monthly reviews run on. He also handles websites, Google Business Profile and online ordering for clients who need them.

What he owns: POS and inventory systems, delivery platform setup, reporting and dashboards, websites and online ordering, Google Business Profile.

How the three fit together

  • Hamza

    Does the business case hold?

    Decides whether the concept, location and numbers can work before the money is spent.

  • Aakash

    Does the menu earn, and can the team sell it?

    Costs and prices every dish, and trains kitchen and floor to deliver it the same way every time.

  • Taher

    Do the systems tell the truth?

    Makes POS, inventory and delivery platforms report what happened, not what everyone assumed.

Most failed restaurants got two of those three right. That is the whole reason we work as a set.
