Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Benjamin
Head Chef & operational consultant with over 27 years of experience, including 16 years as a business owner.
I help restaurateurs who want to regain control of their kitchen, improve their profitability, and sustainably structure their business.
Former award-winning restaurateur (Michelin Guide), I am not a theoretical consultant: I am a hands-on professional.
I intervene directly in the kitchen to:
• Structure organization and streamline service
• Reduce food cost and improve margins
• Optimize processes and teams
• Revise menus for greater consistency and profitability
• Support openings, takeovers, or transition periods
My approach is simple: effective, concrete, and results-oriented.
Objective: a profitable kitchen, a solid team, and smooth service.
Available for one-off assignments or operational support.
