The Day-to-Day of a Gastronomy Consultant, in Images
What you'll deliver to every client with AI Chef Pro: diagnostics, dashboards, recipe costing, financial plans, competitive analysis, and professional proposals.
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.
Each Client, Calibrated From Minute One
AI Chef Pro starts every project with the «Who Am I?» agent, a 2-minute conversational onboarding where you load the client's context: type of business, city, number of locations, average ticket. From there, every agent — from the Financial Plan to local SEO — responds adapted to the client's real context: market prices in their area, regulations in their country, and the actual scale of their operation. Switch clients and recalibrate in 2 minutes. No long forms, no lost context.
What a Gastronomic Consultant Cannot Leave Unsolved
Profitability and food cost diagnostics that arrive late because the client lacks clean data
Due diligence for investors on impossible deadlines with documentation scattered across Excel, PDF, and notes
Commercial proposals stuck in limbo because each new analysis starts from zero
Opening plans with consistent recipe costing, staffing, local marketing, and financial forecast
Competitive and positioning analysis the client expects "yesterday"
Fee pressure: every unproductive hour comes out of your consulting margin

Frequently Asked Questions from Gastronomy Consultants
How much does a restaurant consultant charge per hour or per project?
In the US and UK, independent restaurant and F&B consultants typically charge $100–300/hour or $1,000–3,000/day. Project-based engagements (concept, menu, opening) range from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on scope, with retainer arrangements at $3,000–10,000/month. Top firms like Aaron Allen and Synergy Restaurant Consultants charge premium rates. AI Chef Pro reduces administrative time by 50–70 %, allowing solo consultants to handle more projects without raising rates or hiring.
What does a restaurant consultant or F&B consultant actually do?
A restaurant / F&B consultant audits and improves the operation of an existing venue or designs a new concept from scratch: profitability diagnostics, food cost control, menu engineering, professional recipe costing, staff scheduling, HACCP compliance, local SEO marketing plan, and financial reporting for owners or investors. Opening projects include concept design, business plan, kitchen layout, equipment selection, operational manuals, and team training. Most consultants work on project basis or monthly retainers serving multiple clients simultaneously.
Does it work for projects with multi-unit groups?
Yes. Dashboards consolidate KPIs across locations and financial plans scale to groups. Some clients run consulting engagements on networks of 25 active units.
Will my client see that I use AI?
Only if you want them to. Deliverables (PDF, Excel) carry whatever branding you choose. Many consultants use AI Chef Pro as an internal engine and deliver white-labeled documentation with their own logo.
How much do I reduce time per project?
Most consultants report 50–70% less time on Excel prep, recipe costing, and financial plan work. That frees up hours for analysis, meetings, and capturing new clients.
Does it work if I work solo, no team?
Yes. AI Chef Pro is built for solo consultants who want to scale without hiring. If you later bring on analysts or assistants, enterprise plans support shared accounts.
How does it fit with my current methodology?
AI Chef Pro doesn't impose a methodology. The kits are templates you can adapt to your framework: BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte, your own. The AI accelerates, it doesn't replace judgment.
Can I use it for clients outside Spain?
Yes. 7 languages available and HORECA pricing data covers Spain, LATAM, Italy, France, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, and English-speaking markets.
