The Day-to-Day of a Barista Consultant, in Images
What you'll deliver to each client café: menus, costing, extraction sheets, HACCP, and bar training.
About these images: they are visual references, not the final hero photos
When an AI agent generates an image, it serves to illustrate the idea of the dish, drink, dessert or sub-prep: it helps you sense check volume, texture, plating, tableware and the visual math of the concept. The definitive photo of the recipe cost card or tech sheet is the one you take of your real dish, plated in your own kitchen.
Every recipe and creative-content AI agent offers an option at the end of the workflow to generate an image with Nano Banana 2 (the dedicated AI agent for images starts from scratch with its own steps). You can generate the first one and then as many variants as you need, including sub-preps — not just the final plate.
After generating a recipe, cost card or any content, you can download the output as CSV, PDF or Word and add your real photo when you cook the dish in service.
Every Specialty Coffee Shop, Calibrated in 2 Minutes
Every project starts with «Who Am I?»: type of café (specialty, hotel, brunch, omnivora), average ticket, equipment (machine, grinder, roaster), and city. From there, Creative Kitchen Pro and Recipe Costing Pro Kit respond adapted to the client's real context.

Origin and blend selection that fits the client's profile without blowing the cost
Extraction calibration (espresso, V60, AeroPress, batch brew) the client's team can reproduce alone
Costing with green coffee and premium milk prices that swing weekly
Beverage menus with a differentiated proposition (single origin, espresso tonic, signature drinks)
Advisory to luxury hotels with coffee as a differentiation element
Specialty coffee shop projects with machine, grinder, and roaster forecasts

Frequently Asked Questions from Barista Consultants
How much does it cost to open a coffee shop or specialty coffee bar?
Opening a specialty coffee shop in the US/UK requires $80,000–300,000 for a 600–1,200 sq ft location. Key line items: professional espresso machine (La Marzocco, Slayer, Synesso — $12,000–35,000), espresso grinder ($1,500–4,500), filter grinder ($800–2,500), batch brewer and manual methods kit ($1,200–4,000), refrigeration for milk and pastry ($4,000–12,000), build-out, furniture and licenses ($30,000–150,000), initial inventory of SCA-graded green coffee or roasted single origins ($6,000–18,000).

How much do coffee shop consultants charge?
Coffee shop and barista consultants in the US/UK charge $75–500/hour according to industry sources (Barista Life, Texas Coffee School).

Project-based engagements (concept + menu + barista training + opening playbook) range from $5,000 to $35,000. Retainers for coffee groups go from $2,500 to $7,000/month. AI Chef Pro lets a barista consultant deliver SCA-aligned bar manuals, extraction parameters and costing in hours instead of weeks.
