FAQ

We entertain and create bespoke events solely focused on the overall guest experience. We ensure the details and expectations are exceeded at every opportunity of a guest interaction.

We bill a contract/ consulting fee for Ross’s services, from concept to execution of the event. Labour for all personnel are at a prescribed rate based on the type of function you are requesting. Everything else is billed at cost; all food and beverage, materials/ goods and rentals.

We do, but we look at every event request with a bit of a different lens as each request is completely unique. We suggest that you reach our here to get in touch! We are always searching for the next great event!

We look at every opportunity that presents itself for foodservice establishments looking to take the leap and drive better results and deliver on a better product and sustainable financial growth metrics. Cafés, full service restaurants, QSR's, catering companies, food product development for food manufacturing all come under the consultation umbrella. The area of focus really revolves around functional assets within the Six Sigma framework and continuous improvement. Whether it's recipe and menu development, a menu rewrite, menu engineering or even building out your entire food plan from concept to doors open, we have you covered.

Not one project is not like any other. We always meet with our clients, sometimes several times to hone in on what their expectations and own metrics are. Fees are based on how in-depth the project, it's duration, and location can all play parts in the breakdown of costs for any project request. The one item we aim for, is that the client can correlate relevant and foreseeable ROI on every dollar spent for any project. If we can't show that, then it's likely not a project we'd consider.

Currently we focus our tours in Italy and France. Ross is a well seasoned traveler in both countries and has relevant contacts to put these tours together to please the most discerning traveler! We generally don't do these tours for more than 12-16 people. We keep the groups smaller as it allows for more elevated experiences in lodging, transportation and for our culinary experiences and adventures.

No tour is identical in pricing. We put together exceptional packages for guests who prefer the finer offerings in these types of experiential tours. We offer business class flights where available, first class villa type lodging, unique bespoke tours, curated culinary and dining experiences and we always plan some free time for our guests as well. Not every minute has to be planned to enjoy a vacation away. A day of exploring on your own, a day by the pool with a book or a great podcast is as good away as it is at home without many of life's interruptions. Prices for these types of tours can range between $22,000 and $25,000/ person for 10-12 day excursions. Planning for these events takes an exorbitant amount of time, so we usually announce these events at least 12-18 months in advance. Keep an eye out for exploratory information sessions if your are wanting to experience travel like this with you and a group of friends, colleagues or even incentive travel.

Guru was born out of a few things! Fun being at the top of the list. But also sharing food from an amazing country, Italy. It's all about sharing a cultural experience to people who may not have had that grassroots experience in country.

The simple answer is Yes! Guru is centered around the food, culture and lifestyle of Italy! We do handmade pasta classes, Italian food classes, Italian food-centered dinners and events. It is all about experiencing Italian culture in every amazing way possible, here on the island or anywhere else you would like to enquire about.
