Case study
Gaja Restaurant
ChallengeA tasting-menu kitchen was losing aroma in dishes — bulk timur and cardamom arrived months old and pre-ground.
ApproachSwitched to whole, small-batch spice milled weekly, with a fixed harvest calendar so the kitchen knew exactly what was peaking.
ResultSpice cost per cover up 9%, but guest feedback on the Newari course rose sharply. Now a standing weekly order.
