Restaurant Business School
Practical training, consulting and restaurant business development
Restaurant Business School
I am Olena Shevchenko, founder of the restaurant business school RestaVR
I have been working in the restaurant industry since 2012. My journey began with the international chain of Italian restaurants Ciro's Pomodoro, where I worked as a PR manager and organized large conferences. Then - the hotel and restaurant complexes "Berloga", "PryLisne", "Iris", where I gained powerful practical experience in holding banquets, conferences, organizing concerts, meetings of first persons and off-site events.
I am an economist by education, so I always focus on numbers in my work. What is important to me is the analysis of financial indicators and what I can do for the restaurant to increase turnover. I have practical cases of launching and restarting projects, training staff, and developing standardization.
On the website you can find projects in which I participated as a consultant.

OUR COURSES
Professional courses for restaurateurs from RestaVR
I founded my school in 2023, starting with the course "«Basics of the restaurant business» for managers and owners, and later – with the program «Restaurant administrator»". During this time, I have had regular clients and I am very happy with their results, many students have completed the training, opened their own establishments, conducted restarts, and introduced standards into the work of their teams.
Despite the complete blackout, working on a generator, and all the difficulties of that period, I firmly decided to create the school I dreamed of. Today it is a living educational space where I combine my own experience, practical tools, and expert knowledge of invited speakers. In the courses, we use professional game methods that help identify the strengths and weaknesses of the institution's work and find points of growth.
If you need training for the team, personal consultation, project support or developing standardization - I will be happy to help and become part of the development of your business.

Personal support from RestaVR
Personal support for restaurants
If you want fast and stable changes – choose personal support format. This is not just a consultation, but a full-fledged work on the business under the guidance of an expert. We analyze the current state of your restaurant, identify problem areas, train the team, develop standards and help implement them in daily work. This format is especially effective when the owner wants to systematize the business, reduce chaos and build a transparent management model.
Training + Correction of the institution's work
During training, we not only share knowledge, but also immediately implement changes in your establishment. The RestaVR team conducts a SWOT analysis, determines priorities for the first month, corrects processes, and forms understandable work algorithms. The result is improved discipline, speed of service, communication between the hall and the kitchen, as well as increased sales from the first weeks.
Development of a restaurant manual
We create a personalized restaurant manual for each client. It contains checklists, job descriptions, service standards, disciplinary rules, and algorithms for actions in critical situations. This is a document that helps the entire team act in a coordinated and stable manner.
The methodology is a “map” of your restaurant, thanks to which new employees adapt faster, and the manager can effectively control processes without a constant presence in the hall.
Launch or Restart of the Institution
Are you planning to open a new restaurant or want to restart an existing one? We support the project at every stage - from financial analysis to team training.
RestaVR provides staff training, standardizes processes, helps organize test days, and monitors service quality. This ensures that the opening or relaunch is smooth and the team is ready to go from day one.
Latest publications
News and Articles about the restaurant business
We constantly share practical materials for restaurateurs: analytics, experience, real stories of change.
In this section you will find articles that help you understand how to make a restaurant manageable, where exactly money disappears, why service is not just friendliness, but a strategic advantage. We tell you how to increase the efficiency of the team, how to reduce costs without losing quality, how to create a control system that works every day without constant intervention by the owner. Each material is written based on the experience of the RestaVR team and real cases of Ukrainian establishments. This is not theory, but specific solutions that have already yielded results for dozens of restaurants throughout Ukraine.

Customer reviews about consulting and training
We value every feedback, because it is they who best show the result of our work. Most clients say that after a few weeks of cooperation they see changes: the team becomes more disciplined, the indicators are more predictable, and the costs are controlled. The service reaches a new level when each employee understands his influence on the result.

RestaVR – restaurant consulting experts in Ukraine
RestaVR is a team that combines analytics, training, and practical experience in restaurant management. We don’t just consult, we participate in real processes – from building a financial model to training staff on site. Our approach is based on data, standards, and systematicity. We don’t teach «how it should be,» we show how to make it work. That’s why our clients don’t just listen to lectures, but implement changes during their cooperation.
Among the areas of work: restaurant audit, cost optimization, creation of SOP documents, development of service standards, training of administrators, managers and hall leaders. All this with a practical result that is measured by numbers, not impressions.
Who are our programs and training courses designed for?
Our training programs are suitable for anyone involved in the restaurant business who wants to gain control. Whether you are an owner who wants to understand where profits are disappearing or a manager looking for systemic solutions, you are in the right place.
Courses designed for administrators, department heads, chefs, hall managers and administrators, who are responsible for the stability of the establishment. We also work with those who are just planning to open a restaurant and want to avoid typical mistakes. RestaVR is not theoretical lectures, but learning through practice: participants immediately work with cases of their own establishments, analyze mistakes, formulate solutions and see the result.
How does cooperation with the RestaVR team work in practice?
We start by diagnosing your business: analyzing financial indicators, team structure, accounting system, and service. After that, we identify weak points and create a step-by-step action plan.
Cooperation can take the form of short consultations or comprehensive support. In the process, we support the team, train managers, develop standards and help implement changes without stress for staff. After each stage, you get specific results: reduced costs, increased average check, transparent accounting and a team that works without constant control from the owner.
Geography of work and formats of cooperation

We conduct offline training directly on the customer's territory and provide support in a convenient format - both in Ukraine and abroad. Each format is adapted to the needs of a specific institution. If you need an audit, training or personal support - we come to the site, analyze the processes, train the team and monitor the implementation. Also available online collaboration – for institutions that want to implement a remote management system. Living expenses (transportation and accommodation) are paid separately.
