TLDR: The Chef Network’s Founder Program invites chefs, businesses, and agencies to help shape a fairer, faster, and more intelligent hiring system in hospitality—while gaining early access, visibility, and direct influence on the platform’s future.
Introduction
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.
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.
