He partners with hotel owners, restaurant owners, and hospitality businesses across Australia and overseas to design innovative food and beverage concepts, elevate brand experiences, and drive sustainable growth and profitability.

With over a decade of experience in the hospitality consulting industry, Gaurang has helped countless businesses increase food and beverage revenue, improve operations, and deliver unforgettable guest experiences.
