“The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. work is the key to success, and hard work can help you accomplish anything.”― Vince Lombardi
Sam fryer, rosemarinos bristol, co-founder
"We approached Tom Green back shortly after signing the lease for our first restaurant premises. The following months building up to our launch date were fraught with all the usual pressures associated with opening your first hospitality business. Toms guidance throughout this process was invaluable. He helped us design and procure equipment for a fully functioning commercial kitchen working with a very limited budget to an incredibly tight timescale. He really understood what we were trying to achieve with our offering, his menu conception reflected his passion for food and our brand perfectly. The kitchen team he recruited were equally passionate and the energy he brought to training was boundless. Within weeks of opening our levels of trade were much higher than expected but with Tom at the helm we never felt overwhelmed and his commitment to getting us off to a flying start was always evident. Thanks in no small part to Tom, ten years down the line Rosemarino is still going strong and his name has been immortalised on our menus through our most popular brunch dish… the now legendary ’Tommy’s 1 Pan Wonder’! The experience, professionalism and passion he can bring to any project is indisputable and I would recommend his services to anyone in the hospitality industry."
It is often easier to see things more clearly from the outside looking in, giving a different perspective and offering new ideas on the daily working cogs of your business.
I offer a range of services with a brief overview below. However if you feel my expertise can assist you in anyway please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss your requirements and we can create a bespoke proposal together to suit your needs.
New business
Mobilising new business concepts can be a daunting reality; I can support with full business start-ups, menu development and costings, food safety systems and implementation, restaurant and kitchen design, staffing and financial forecasts. My services extend to full mobilisation and opening on the day, my support can then continue after opening if required giving you that extra bit of professional experience and safe pair of hands as you grow your business.
Existing businesses
A fresh set of eyes may be all it takes! You may have a great team in place, but they lack some experience or guidance and you just need a helping hand with someone to assist and mentor them in taking a slightly different approach or direction. This may be in menu concept, stock control, supplier negotiation, imagery for social media, labor management, or dish presentation. You may have a particularly good idea of the area/areas within the business you feel need to be addressed. Alternatively I offer the opportunity for myself to spend some time within your business to get an overview of what areas I feel need to be addressed and will then create a document with both my findings and proposal of how best to progress and a timeline for doing so.
Please get in touch to find out more about the services I can offer and to arrange a bespoke quotation.
