Menu Development
We develop recipes to create innovative menus for your restaurant.
At Gilkey Restaurant Consulting, food is our passion! As food consultants, we believe food is the essence and soul of the restaurant. It is what first comes to mind when guests are making a dining decision and causes them to return to your restaurant time and time again.
Our approach when creating innovative menu development, in-depth recipe development, and delectable food offerings is to focus on creating food with integrity, honesty and crave-ability. We know food made from scratch and cooked to order sets the foundation of excellence in a restaurant’s food culture.
In every case, we like to align ourselves with clients who share our same passion for food. Our food consultant have found collaboration between enthusiastic clients always results in an outstanding food program.
