AFTER THE AUDIT
Run the plan yourself, or bring Siroosh back for one problem, the full implementation, kitchen standards or ongoing oversight.
Review the Profit Audit01 · Implement
Eight to twelve working days on site across the month. Recipe costing and portion standards set and written down. Rota logic rebuilt against demand. Supplier terms reviewed and renegotiated. The menu re-engineered on margin rather than on taste. Manager coaching, so it holds after he leaves.
This is the honest recommendation for most venues, and it is the difference between us and a consultant who hands over a report.
£5,000 to £6,500
30 DAYS
02 · Narrow
One or two workstreams, four to six days. The two biggest problems in the report, and nothing else.
For venues that need the money to go further, or where the audit found one thing large enough to be worth all the attention.
£3,000 to £4,000
30 DAYS
03 · Standards
Siroosh sets what good looks like in your kitchen and judges whether your chef is delivering it. Prep discipline, portion control, section standards, cleanliness, consistency across a service.
This is standards, not cooking. He is not on the line and he is not covering shifts. That boundary is written into the engagement letter.
£750 to £1,000
PER DAY, IN BLOCKS OF THREE OR FIVE
04 · Review
A review of the numbers every quarter against the plan, so the gains do not quietly drift back over six months.
The lightest way to keep someone looking. Most things that get fixed get unfixed, and this is what stops that.

MONTHLY
05 · Partner
Ongoing advisory. Monthly review of performance, support for your management, accountability on the plan, and new opportunities as they appear.
Realistically this starts around month five, once there is something worth holding on to.
£2,000 to £3,000
MONTHLY
CHOOSING THE LEVEL
The five offers are not a ladder you have to climb. They cover three different jobs: implementing the plan, setting a specialist standard, or keeping the gains in place.
IMPLEMENT
01
Choose the Sprint for full implementation, or the Focused Sprint for the one or two findings that matter most.
SPECIALISE
02
Use Kitchen Standards Days when the work is specifically prep, portions, sections, cleanliness and consistency.
RETAIN
03
Use quarterly review for light oversight, or Profit Partner for ongoing advice, management support and accountability.
PAYMENT
01
Start a Sprint or a retainer within fourteen days of your audit presentation and the £1,250 is credited against your first invoice.
02
Invoiced across the thirty days in three payments. Nothing about the work changes.
QUALIFICATION
Current profitability is not the test. The questions are whether you can fund the work and whether the business can act on it.
SUITABLE · 01
Trading well and convinced the profit should be better. The easiest first conversation and the natural home of the full Sprint.
SUITABLE · 02
Often the better client. A venue clearing £30,000 that finds £40,000 of leakage is transformed rather than improved.
THE BOUNDARY
Creditor pressure, arrears with HMRC or the landlord, a sale in progress, or an owner who cannot authorise spend. In those situations there is no cash to pay and no room to change anything, and he will tell you on the call rather than take a fee for a report you cannot act on.
Twenty minutes. He will ask about your covers, your labour percentage and your food cost, and tell you whether there is £25,000 in there worth finding. If there is not, he will say so.
