Culinary Consulting & Marketing with Keith Kalm
Bringing Flavor, Flow, and Function to Your Food Business
Who I Am
I'm Keith Kalm—chef, creative, strategist, and systems thinker. I’ve spent the last two decades navigating every corner of the culinary world—from fine dining kitchens and private cheffing gigs to pop-up cafés, cannabis dinners, farm-to-table events, and full-blown restaurant launches. My work spans coast to coast, rooted in the belief that food should be soulful, operations should be smart, and marketing should feel human.
Now, I help other chefs, restaurateurs, and food brands bring their vision to life.
What I Do
🍽️ Culinary Consulting
Whether you’re opening a new concept or tightening up an existing one, I help you fine-tune every element of your food operation:
Menu design & costing
Kitchen workflow optimization
Inventory systems & par level management
Supplier sourcing & ordering systems
Event planning & activation
Farm-to-table integration
Private chef launch support
Cannabis + cuisine strategy
I’ve developed Xhef.io to help kitchens run smoother—and I bring that same tech-first, chef-led approach to every consulting project.
📈 Hospitality Marketing & Branding
A good meal is one thing. A brand people remember is another.
I help food businesses stand out with:
Brand voice development
Website design (especially WordPress & AI-built)
Restaurant SEO & Google optimization
QR menu systems & online ordering setups
Table-side reservation and ordering tools
Affiliate integration & revenue partnerships
Video content, social media storytelling & email automation
If you’re tired of chasing customers and want a brand that draws them in—this is the work I do.
Why I Do It
Because the world needs better restaurants.
Because chefs deserve systems that support them—not burn them out.
Because your story matters.
And because I’ve walked the hard road, figured it out the long way, and now want to give you the shortcut.
I believe in food as medicine, storytelling as marketing, and sustainability as a business model.
Let’s build something beautiful.
Who I Work With
I collaborate with:
Restaurant owners & GMs
Private chefs launching or scaling services
Event planners & wedding chefs
Wellness-focused cafés
Cannabis brands seeking culinary crossover
Culinary tech startups
You might be running a high-end club, dreaming of a backyard pop-up, or rebuilding your menu from scratch—I’ve got you.
