Service Nº 06 · Bring something temporary · A note on what it actually is

A bar that becomes a tasting menu for one night. A retail shop that gets a chef-curated dinner. The right room, the right people, food that wasn't on the schedule. The version of dinner that's also marketing, also a launch, also a memory.

What's included

  • Concept + menu development (typically 4–8 courses)
  • Procurement + prep
  • On-site cooking + service
  • Coordination with the venue's flow + capacity
  • Limited collateral (printed menus, signage)
  • Optional: ticketing + RSVP coordination

How it works

  1. Site walk + concept conversation.
  2. Menu draft, pricing per cover, finalized.
  3. Marketing happens in parallel — yours, mine, or shared.
  4. I arrive ~4 hours before service.
  5. Service runs, then breakdown.
Best forThe shape of the room

Retail collabs, restaurant takeovers, brand launches.

The work that wants temporary energy in a permanent room. Where the food does some of the marketing for you, and the room earns a story when guests leave it. Built for collaboration — your audience, my menu, one Saturday night.

Kayla, thank you for making last so so special. After you left I indulged in the food. Everything was beyond delicious. Very much appreciated. Till we meet again.
