The Audit tells you what's broken. Sharpen fixes it.

One module. One outcome. Real work.

Each Sharpen module is between 3 and 5 hours of structured facilitation — part working session, part co-build. By the end, you and Christopher have built the tool together. You know how to use it, why it works, and what to monitor.

Modules are typically sequenced following an Audit. They can also be purchased standalone if the gap is already identified.

Menu Engine

Menus that are too long, poorly priced, or structured for the kitchen instead of the customer.

A rebuilt menu engineering matrix showing GP contribution by dish, a trimmed and re-priced menu structure, and a pricing framework you can apply to future changes.

Cost Floor

Food cost creep, uncontrolled waste, and the absence of a functioning stocktake system.

A food cost audit by category, a waste tracking system, a supplier cost comparison template, and a target cost floor by department.

The Standard

Inconsistent service delivery, absent SOPs, and the gap between what you expect and what the team delivers.

A core SOP template suite for your venue, a training checklist, and a quality control reference for use in briefings.

The Roster

Rosters built on habit rather than covers data, labour cost blowout, and compliance gaps.

A labour coverage model matched to your trading pattern, a roster design framework, and a compliance reference for award obligations.

This module does not constitute legal advice — refer to Fair Work Australia for award specifics.

The Capture

Poor review scores, no structured response process, and a digital presence that doesn't convert foot traffic.

A review response template library, a 90-day content calendar framework, and a local visibility checklist.

The Room

A venue that underperforms its physical potential — layout friction, atmosphere inconsistency, covers-per-hour inefficiency.

A guest journey map, an atmosphere scorecard, and a prioritised list of room interventions ranked by implementation effort.

The Shield

Compliance gaps in food safety, RSA (if licensed), record keeping, and legal obligations.

A compliance register, a food safety system checklist, and an RSA responsibility framework (if licensed).

If the Audit returns a Foundation Override (D7 walkthrough score below 40%), The Shield is always the first module engaged — regardless of other priorities.
