Jeremy Kovitch
Jeremy’s journey began humbly, working as an unpaid prep cook and dishwasher at a traditional Japanese establishment in San Francisco after attending the International Culinary Center.Through his love of food, deep respect for true craftsmanship, student for life & servant leader ethos, his passion and discipline helped him navigate through every kitchen role to become an Executive Chef.From traditional Japanese Kaiseki, Teishoku & Sushi, modernist cuisine at a private golf course & PGA tour, to a California influenced French Brasserie and large scale corporate culinary operations at Google:
Jeremy has helped lead teams of up to 100 serving thousands daily, in addition to helping open, advise, and consult for diverse concepts ranging from classic Japanese to plant-based dining.
Concept Development & Strategic Openings

Successful Hospitality openings are engineered throughout every phase of development.Initial architecture and concept design, overseeing construction, menu engineering and implementation, vendor/supplier selection and contracting, kitchen and dining layout & workflow, equipment and serveware procurement, and hiring & training every team member all come together harmoniously in a successful opening.We have helped develop, anchor, and open establishments with the structure required to handle initial momentum, sustain long term profitability and growth, and instill the operational discipline and pride that brings everything together across both sides of the pass.
Menu architecture & Customer acquisition

Every restaurant has a baseline rhythm, but long term stability and growth requires strategic momentum.Whether you are launching a new or seasonal menu, introducing a gateway dish to attract new customers, or breaking out of a revenue plateau, adjustments at the seemingly smallest of points have the capacity to spill over and positively ripple throughout your entire business. A single strategic feature or existing menu evolution can open your doors to an entirely new customer base.We work alongside you and your team to engineer, implement, and launch menu evolutions & features that drive new foot traffic without compromising on kitchen throughput or P&L targets. Generating organic buzz, and optimizing your operations for sustainable growth.
