Laghman Express
A New York restaurant brand built around hand-pulled noodles — the environment where restaurant production engineering was applied in practice.
Projects
Selected Projects
Kitchen Engineering System (KES)
A structured methodology that brings consistency, operational control and scalability to restaurant production.
Kitchen Engineering Suite
A modular digital environment covering recipes, process mapping, capacity, daily control, SOPs, KPI reporting and production analytics.
Author's Kitchen Standardization Methodology
A proprietary approach that converts recipes, preparation and portioning into technical standards with tolerances and yields.
Kitchen Process Engineering
Station-based production design with defined cycle times and control points instead of improvised workflow management.
Laghman Production Methodology
A documented production methodology that makes a traditional, labour-intensive dish reproducible in fast-service conditions.
Kitchen Academy
A structured training system: onboarding, station-by-station instruction and measurable competence development.
Workstation Certification System
A certification framework that makes staff qualification at each station measurable rather than assumed.
Production Analytics
An analytical layer that turns daily production data into management decisions on capacity, waste and consistency.
SOP Library
A structured library of standard operating procedures covering every station, process and control point of the kitchen.
Dough Engineering
Technical standards for dough preparation: hydration, resting, elasticity and yield parameters for consistent hand-pulled noodles.
Capacity Planning System
A planning system that aligns kitchen layout, equipment and staffing with forecasted demand and service rhythm.
Kitchen KPI System
A system of production indicators — cycle time, yield, waste and quality — used for daily operational control.
JoJaChix
A fast-casual chicken concept developed using the same production engineering approach: standardization, cycle times and control points.
Research in Restaurant Engineering
Peer-reviewed research on reengineering and standardization of manual culinary processes, published in academic journals.
Kitchen Engineering — Author's Book
A book presenting the Kitchen Engineering methodology: principles, modules and implementation sequence for restaurant production.
Kitchen Engineering Licensing Program
A licensing program that allows restaurant operators to implement the documented Kitchen Engineering methodology in their own operations.
Restaurant Engineering Consulting
Consulting on production audit, process redesign, standardization and management systems for restaurant operations.
