founder pledge

The Chef Network is a resource. AI infrastructure for a new era of hospitality—where hiring is faster, fairer, and built around the needs of chefs and businesses.

If you believe the process can be simpler, more affordable, and grounded in real experience, this is your chance to back it.

What is the Founder Program?

This isn’t about donating. It’s about helping build a system that works better—for chefs, for employers, and yes, for agencies too. Founders help us scale without outside investment. In return, they shape how the platform evolves and are publicly recognised for backing something better.

Why Become a Founder?

Founders influence hiring tools, policy decisions, and product direction through ongoing access to the team. They appear on our digital Founder Wall—highlighted across the network and respected across the trade. From early feature previews to custom hiring insights, Founders stay ahead of the curve.
