Dima Fomin

Chef, product technologist and kitchen process leader.

For more than twenty years I have worked with products, people and process in Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Germany, France and Canada.

I combine hands-on cooking with product development, quality control, purchasing, staff training and production process setup.

Product and brand

I help seafood shops, sushi bars, restaurants and delivery brands create products from scratch and turn them into a brand.

Today, a website alone is almost useless if there is no strong product, clear brand and ready commercial offer behind it.

I create products from scratch and turn them into a packaged brand that can be sold online.

What I can do

  • develop a product idea
  • create a menu or product line
  • shape the taste, presentation and sales format
  • turn the product into a clear offer for customers
  • create a website, catalog or online storefront
  • prepare copy, structure and visual presentation
  • help prepare the product for market launch

My strength is that I connect kitchen work and development. I understand the product as a chef: taste, cost, presentation and process. And I can package it as a developer: a website, catalog, online presentation or brand page.

I am looking for partners for seafood, sushi, delivery and online sales projects.
