Jonathon has been extremely helpful in helping me plan my kitchen layout for my venue. I've really appreciated his expertise from caterers handling the food to the conveniences they need in the kitchen. I'm thankful we connected!

I worked with Jonathan to develop a cafe/wine venue. He brought in his knowledge of the concept, providing guidance on equipment, menu, while taking into account site constraints, budget, work flow and customer experience. Hope to launch soon.

Jonathan helped us every step of the way when we decided to add a kitchen to our brewery. From menu design, to layout planning and even hiring employees, he helped us get started on the right track. I'd recommend his services to anyone who is starting a restaurant or needs help improving the way their existing kitchen runs.

Jon guides his clients to success by focusing on their menu and then creating recipes, food cost, kitchen layout, equipment needs and labor requirements to pull the project together. Jon's approach is very detail-oriented and draws on his years of experience in the industry.

I worked extensively with Jonathan on the design and build-out of a shared commercial kitchen for food entrepreneurs. Jonathan’s experience as a restaurant chef and production chef was invaluable in both the design of the space, but also the selection of equipment and it’s placement. His relationship’s with suppliers and vendors was an unexpected value-add. I would definitely engage him again and highly recommend him to anyone contemplating a restaurant, food truck or shared kitchen venture.

Jonathan Kouse deserves no better title than "restaurant whisperer." He was very effective at narrowing in on the core issues we were facing and diagnosing them. His professionalism and demeanor are both impeccable and he was wonderful to have around. Most of all, he is someone who truly cares about getting results.
