About Grammid

Grammid is an interactive teaching and tool collection for restaurant operations. The goal is to connect theory and practical work: calculators for costs, ingredient calculations and waste; a project bank with teaching descriptions; and a simple system for working on and evaluating projects. All content is localized to Icelandic conditions, with an emphasis on responsible operations and less waste.

Grammid supports professionals in being better prepared to run their establishments and helps students understand the importance of knowing ingredient costs — among many other things — and helps them transfer theory to real projects: from basic operational concepts to menu design, pricing and service quality. Great emphasis is placed on using AI to get quick feedback when participants try their hand at projects and thus immediately know whether they are on the right track.

Hinrik Carl Ellertsson is a teacher and chef at Menntaskolinn i Kopavogi, with a strong emphasis on professionalism, responsible use of ingredients, and a data-driven approach in the kitchen. He has developed teaching materials and tools that simplify cost control and menu design — and leads various projects in the Arctic region, including the Arctic Young Chef competition.

Through his work in recent years, he has gathered extensive knowledge, including as operations manager at Dill and head chef at Spirinn, along with numerous other positions. Hinrik combines experience from restaurant operations and education: clear methods, measurable results, and records that enable participants to achieve consistent success. Grammid is a continuation of that work — practical, visible insight that is useful in teaching and daily work.
