Kitchen consulting
Help in your kitchen, from people who run kitchens.
Consulting services from KindyMenu Pty Ltd. Our team, led by Aleksey Zhurin (Head Chef, 30+ years in restaurants, hotels and childcare kitchens), works alongside your chef and manager: your chef knows the kitchen best, we help remove what gets in the way. We prefer to visit your kitchen in person. Outside Queensland, or if you are far away, we start online.
Four parts of one kitchen system
People and numbers
Portions, staffing and prep time for your real numbers; a meal timetable the kitchen can keep; clear team and parent communication.
Food and allergies
A clear path for each child’s meal, from delivery to the plate; recipe cards any cook can follow; menus that suit your families.
Space and equipment
Zones for raw, cooked and allergen-free food; the equipment your menu needs; enough cold and dry storage.
Suppliers and checks
Fewer, reliable suppliers with clear delivery days; a walk-through of what already works well.
How it works
1. Email us
Tell us about your centre, your kitchen or your plans.
2. Visit or online meeting
We look at the kitchen, the menu, the records and how the day runs.
3. Written plan
A short report and an action plan, agreed with your team.
Services
Kitchen walk-through with your team
What is working, what is missing, what to fix first. A visit, not a council rating.
Menu and recipe cards
A menu written for your children, each dish with weights, method and steps.
Layout and equipment
Where benches, sinks and the cooking line sit; which ovens and fridges you need.
Kitchen system design
Children, numbers, allergies, recipes, storage, suppliers and people, on one plan.
Kitchen zoning and flow
Delivery, storage, prep, cooking, serving and washing up, one way.
New kitchen start-up
From the first plan to the first lunch.
