Chef Paola Rodríguez

Consulting

Built for hospitality.

I help hotels and hospitality brands with their menus, their kitchen teams and the story behind their food.

From the menu to the team that cooks it.

I bring more than 15 years in culinary arts, consulting and television, and a post-grad diploma in culinary arts and hospitality management.

Marking up a kitchen floor plan for a new opening

Openings

From the floor plan up.

Good food needs a kitchen that works. For a new opening I walk the plan with your team: where the line sits, how plates move to the pass, where storage goes. Then I build the menu that kitchen can cook every night.

Menu development

Dishes built to be cooked again and again.
