ExpertiseRestaurant concepts, menu building, supplier sourcing, opening-night service
Chef Birendra Singh has spent 3 decades in hospitality kitchens. He started Gourmet Guys so restaurant founders get a working chef in their corner, from the first business plan to opening night, and has led 126 projects in India and abroad.
He builds the menus himself, works the concept through with each founder and sources suppliers directly, so the kitchen can cook the menu every day at a cost that still makes money.

What you can count onWhy restaurant owners work with us
- Kitchen-tested
- Every menu, layout and SOP comes from chefs who have cooked and run service themselves.
- Numbers first
- Feasibility, food costing and unit economics come before fit-out, so the business works on paper before it opens.
- Hands-on to launch
- We train your team, run food trials and stay through pre-opening until the kitchen runs on its own.
- Your concept, not ours
- You imagine it, we cook it. Any cuisine, any format, built around your vision and your market.
- Anywhere
- Any cuisine, in Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Ahmedabad, Dubai or Dar es Salaam.
