The Chef Network Longevity Pledge
Recruitment in the hospitality industry is broken. Platforms like Indeed and The Caterer prioritise profit over people, driving up costs at a time when businesses are fighting to survive. At The Chef Network, we’re different. Founded by Chefs, we’re committed to disrupting these outdated systems with a tool that’s fair, transparent, and built to last.
Pledge #1: Disrupt the Middleman
Recruitment agencies and job boards profit from inefficiencies in the hiring process. We pledge to remove these barriers, connecting businesses and chefs directly. By doing so, we help businesses save thousands in fees and chefs gain quicker access to the jobs they want.
Pledge #2: Fix Before We Build
While others chase rapid growth, we focus on stability. We pledge to fix bugs and refine the platform before adding new features. Every hour spent improving reliability is an investment in your experience, ensuring that The Chef Network is always a tool you can trust.
Pledge #3: Data That Belongs to You
Unlike platforms that lock you into their ecosystem, we believe in transparency and portability. All your data—job posts, connections, profiles—remains yours. Export it whenever you like, and take confidence in knowing it’s stored securely and backed up regularly.
Pledge #4: Built for the Long Haul
We pledge to grow responsibly, without venture capital or investor pressures. This independence means we’ll never prioritise short-term profit over long-term trust. And if The Chef Network ever faces circumstances that prevent us from continuing, we promise to release our platform tools to the public—ensuring our mission outlives us.
Pledge #5: Built for a Better Industry
The Chef Network exists to help businesses and chefs thrive—not to line our pockets. At a time when recruitment fees and inefficiencies are hurting hospitality, we pledge to remain affordable, effective, and relentlessly user-focused.
