TeamChefs Consultancy is a UK hospitality consultancy led by Daniel Mullings. We bring three decades of professional kitchen experience and practical, AI-assisted thinking into real food and drink businesses.
Who we work with
We work in collaboration with three groups who shape the industry's future.
- Chefs. Working chefs, heads of kitchen and emerging talent who want sharper menu economics, calmer services and new ways to use technology at the pass.
- Food and drink businesses. From food trucks and takeaways to independent producers taking a drink to shelf — we help owners get the business model, licences, labelling and brand right.
- Colleges that train the next generation. The institutions turning out tomorrow's chefs and front-of-house teams, where industry pace and classroom pace have to meet.
What we do
Six connected services, each grounded in real kitchens: AI-accelerated product development, brand and concept, menu economics, sustainability, compliance and workforce design. See the services.
Our approach
- Kitchen-first. Advice has to survive a Friday service, not just a slide.
- Commercially honest. We work from real margins and real buyer feedback, not optimistic numbers.
- AI as a tool, not the story. Technology is used where it earns its place — menu costing, product development, learning, assistant support — never for its own sake.
- Accessible by design. The way we present information, teach and build is shaped around different ways of learning and working.
Where we have shown up
Drink product development with an independent UK caterer, taking four drinks from concept toward retail; "Meet the Buyer" trade-floor advisory; 360° kitchen filming; and a growing library of courses on this site, starting with How to Start a Food Truck Business in the UK.
Education and training materials for learners and apprentices live on our sister site, TeamChefs Education.
