Menu Recipe & Development

**Culinary Guide Shop**’s flagship process is “*Pantry With A Purpose*” which identifies your restaurant’s key ingredients to create profitable items.

Most restaurants or food businesses look for more than hitting the bottom-line when it comes to recipe and menu development. With Culinary Guide Shop’s consulting, our strategy is not just craveable menu items but evaluating true market conditions and helping you express your restaurant’s true food narrative.

With our recipe development and testing methods, Culinary Guide Shop helps restaurants:

Create amazing and flavorful food but still keep menu offerings simple.
Implement cross utilization of ingredients for your developed menu.
Establish flavor profiles that reveal your food culture and story.
Develop and maintain your recipe database.
