Culinary Options
Specialty: Management Advisory Services
Headquarters: Seattle, Washington

Every successful foodservice operation begins with a clearly articulated concept. From there, the menu must be developed to support that core concept. Once that is done - even if just on paper - the kitchen designer can effectively design the kitchen. To approach design or lease-signing without first having determined the details of the concept, menu and financial implications is to potentially face failure, or at least low satisfaction. Culinary Options deals with these issues.
