Why Work With Me

I’m Thomas. I’m a hands-on hospitality consultant with over 19 years of experience in the industry. For the last 10 years, I’ve looked after high-end, high-turnover venues across Australia. My focus is on helping small and independent restaurants, cafés, and bars save money, improve efficiency, and build teams that deliver consistent results.

I've worked in every type of venue, from profitable restaurants to those struggling for sustainability. As a Group Chef for the past 8 years, I’ve led multiple kitchens, written menus, implemented cost controls, streamlined workflows, and trained staff. I personally managed food sourcing, supplier negotiations, inventory systems, and labour scheduling — essentially, I’ve handled all aspects of operations.

I’ve also worked with venues through extreme challenges, including the shutdowns, taking businesses from the unknkown back to thriving. I implement practical, actionable strategies to safeguard your revenue, optimise your operations, and maintain staff morale.
