In your kitchen
Training on the line where your team works: your walk-in, your prep stations, your dish area. No travel for your staff.
Live online, instructor-led
A live class with a real instructor, not a recorded video. Your team asks questions and gets answers in real time.

Health inspection preparation for Miami restaurants, before the inspector arrives
An inspection simulation shows you what an inspector would look at. We walk your kitchen with your team, point out what needs attention and train on how to fix it.
