Our Consulting Team

Richy Virahsawmy

“Since the age of 14 I’ve been working in kitchens around the world. I’ve cooked for four prime ministers, dozens of celebrities, and have been featured on two Irish TV networks across the last 6 years. I’ve also written a cookbook. I’m an all-rounder with a passion for hospitality: the buzz, the food, the staff, the patrons, the farmers!

It wasn’t until I owned my own restaurant that I discovered the cost impact of actually running one. The bottom line is efficiency, much like running a marathon. If you want to go the distance you must develop an efficient and sustainable approach.

I can cook, and I can tell you how to cook… but I’m here to help you deploy cost-saving changes and time-management techniques that will help you run your company effectively — and efficiently!”

Jason is well known in the Finnish pizza circles, after doing very well in the Finnish pizza master competition, and has a very good understanding what works and what doesn’t work in this beautiful country he calls home.
