Launch Pub-Style Ghost Kitchen

I’m ready to move my “India English” / pub-classic concept from idea to reality and need someone who’s already been through the grind of opening a pub restaurant to guide the entire ghost-kitchen set-up. Your practical start-up know-how—ordering the right kit, laying out a tight line, locking in suppliers, navigating licences, configuring delivery platforms, and pricing a menu that still leaves margin—will be crucial.

The offer at a glance:
• Cuisine direction: a casual, comforting mix of India English flavours and traditional pub classics, designed for delivery and takeaway.
• End goal: a fully operational online kitchen that can trade on Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and similar aggregators from day one.

Concrete deliverables I expect:
1. Scaled kitchen layout with equipment specification that meets UK hygiene regs.
2. Menu framework (recipes, prep sheets, costings, allergen matrix).
3. Supplier and packaging list sourced and priced.
4. Set-up of POS / aggregator accounts, including menu upload and photo guidelines.
5. Standard operating procedures and HACCP docs ready for EHO inspection.
6. Launch-week plan covering staffing levels, prep schedules, and promo ideas.

If you have opened a pub or dark kitchen before and can back it up with references or case studies, I’d like to start straight away.
