What sets Shapour Pourbagheri apart

Shapour Pourbagheri is a restaurant consultant, restaurant setup specialist, executive chef, and operations professional with more than 20 years of hands-on experience in the restaurant, hospitality, culinary, and management industries. From the first concept to grand opening and ongoing operations, he helps restaurant owners build structured, efficient, consistent, and profitable restaurant systems. His approach goes beyond simply designing a menu or setting up a kitchen. Every part of the restaurant is treated as one connected operational system: Kitchen + Menu + Staff + Service + Cost + Quality + Management + Profitability Services include restaurant concept development, complete restaurant setup, professional kitchen design and workflow planning, menu development and engineering, recipe standardization, food cost analysis, menu pricing, inventory and waste control, staff hiring and training, front-of-house training, restaurant operations and management, and improvement of existing restaurants. Shapour also specializes in Persian restaurant consulting and Persian cuisine operations, including kebab and grill systems, Koobideh, Barg, Joojeh Kebab, Persian stews, rice production, appetizers, breakfast concepts, and traditional and modern Persian menu development. For existing restaurants, he evaluates operational weaknesses such as high food costs, excessive waste, inconsistent food quality, inefficient kitchen workflow, weak service, staffing challenges, poor menu performance, and management issues, then develops practical systems to improve efficiency, consistency, accountability, customer experience, and profitability. His goal is not simply to help a restaurant open. The goal is to build a restaurant that operates correctly from day one, maintains clear standards, develops a strong team, controls costs, delivers consistent quality, and has the structure required for long-term growth. From Concept to Grand Opening. From Kitchen to Profit.
