Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Kitchens can you help?

At Propergander Cuisine, we don’t just help kitchens—we transform them. Whether you’re in chaos or cruising, we bring strategy, systems, and chef-savvy solutions tailored to your world.

🔧 Startup Kitchens

Launching a new venue? We’ll help you design workflows, set up your menu and costing systems, hire smart, and avoid expensive first-timer mistakes.

🍽️ Hotel & Resort Kitchens

With deep roots in luxury operations, we understand the complexity of all-day dining, banquets, and fine dining under one roof. We bring cohesion, control, and creative spark.

🏫 Institutional & Education Kitchens

From high-volume student catering to dietary compliance and staff training—we’ve led full-service revamps for universities and government contracts.

🪖 Defence & Remote Site Kitchens

We understand the discipline, logistics, and output needed in military and industrial kitchens. We’ve mobilised teams, revamped systems, and built self-sustaining routines.

🍴 Cafés & Bistro Kitchens

Small team? Big ideas? We help independent operators streamline, cost properly, and create menus that punch above their weight.

🧠 Ghost, Central & Production Kitchens

Need scale without chaos? We set up systems for batching, dispatch, stock control, and AI-driven forecasting so you can grow smart, not messy.

How do you ensure food quality and safety?

At Propergander Cuisine, quality and safety aren’t just checkboxes—they’re non-negotiables. We embed best-practice systems that are chef-driven, team-owned, and built to last under pressure.

Proven Systems, Not Paperwork

We implement HACCP-based systems tailored to your kitchen’s scale and complexity—without overwhelming your team with useless red tape.

🧑‍🍳 Staff Training That Sticks

From knife skills to allergen protocols, we train your team in ways that are practical, repeatable, and role-specific—so quality becomes habit, not hope.

🔍 Operational Audits & Spot Checks

We run internal audits, mystery assessments, and pre-audit prep to keep your kitchen inspection-ready at all times.

📲 Digital Tools for Real-Time Oversight

We introduce easy-to-use digital logs, temp monitoring, AI-driven stock checks, and task tracking tools—making compliance visible and manageable.

🛠️ Built-In Quality Control

From supplier management to plate presentation, we help you set quality standards that everyone understands and owns—from apprentice to exec.

🌿 Sustainability & Waste Control

We tie food safety into broader quality goals like minimising waste, managing allergens, and using smarter sourcing strategies.

How Can You Stop My Outlet Hemorrhaging Money?

🩸 Where You’re Losing Money (and How We Plug It):

  • Menu Costing & Pricing:
    We break down every dish to the cent. If you’re underpricing, overportioning, or running deadweight dishes—we’ll fix it.

  • Roster vs. Revenue:
    We align your labour with demand using AI-assisted scheduling. No more overstaffing during dead zones.

  • Stock Control & Waste:
    We set up simple but sharp systems to track every crumb. FIFO, par levels, ordering cycles—we teach your team to control, not just count.

  • Suppliers & Margins:
    We audit your supply chain, renegotiate where needed, and kill off lazy purchasing habits.

  • Workflow & Speed:
    A slow kitchen costs money. We redesign your service line for flow, reduce comp errors, and cut downtime.

  • Leadership & Accountability:
    If culture’s rotten, profit leaks follow. We coach your leaders to lead with purpose, urgency, and clarity.

Will you work for me in my kitchen?

I’d love to roll up my sleeves and get stuck into your kitchen—there’s nothing like the heat of service to solve problems fast. While I can’t be there full-time like a regular chef, I bring executive-level experience, strategic insight, and AI-driven solutions that go far beyond chopping and plating.

To be upfront, my fee reflects that expertise—you’d be paying roughly double what a capable chef costs because you’re not just hiring kitchen hands; you’re investing in a proven leader who transforms operations, boosts profits, and future-proofs your business.

Think of me as your virtual right hand—providing tailored coaching, smart systems, and hands-on guidance remotely, plus occasional on-site visits to get things firing on all cylinders.

If you want, we can build a hybrid plan that balances expert strategy with your kitchen’s day-to-day needs.

“I think like every other job, you put your head down and learn your job, do it well. Whether it’s cooking, washing plates, serving wine, or greeting guests, you keep your head down and do it well.”
