01How it works
Discover. Consult. Hire.
Star chefs bring the attention. The talent network and the consulting practice turn it into a business. All three run on the same verified data.

02Brand architecture
One network, six connected businesses.
03Chef Network
The people behind great hospitality.
Verified profiles, not listings. Career history confirmed with the employer, expertise scored from evidence, and a clear statement of the work each chef will take on.
04Verified, not claimed
A credential that means something.
The industry runs on CVs nobody checks. For a group hiring across borders that is not a minor inefficiency — a failed appointment costs around 1.5× salary.

Built from verified history rather than self-assessment — which is the difference between a score and a LinkedIn endorsement. The shape is the point: it is far quicker to compare two chefs than seven numbers are.

A badge that means “this person filled in a form” is worse than no badge, because it launders a claim into a fact.
05Gastro Business Solutions
Four ways in.
Consulting. Talent. Pre-Opening. Performance. Pick the one that matches where the business actually is — each has a defined scope, a duration and a price.
01

Business Health Check
Two weeks on site and in the numbers. We tell you where the margin is going and what it would take to get it back — before anyone talks about a new menu.

07Live projects
Not job posts. Projects.
Pre-openings, consultancy briefs, menu development and confidential searches. A hotel posts a project; the network assembles the team it needs — chef, consultant and specialists together.
08Business connections
Chefs × Brands
A food company looking for five international chefs is a different kind of buyer to a hotel filling a vacancy. Ambassadorships, product development and collaborations, matched against verified expertise.
09Insights
Writing about the unglamorous half.
Food cost, payroll ratio, retention and why openings slip. The parts of the business that decide whether the food ever gets a chance.
10Membership
Free for chefs. Priced for business.
The roster is the shopfront, so professionals join at no cost. The margin sits where the value is — with the hotels, groups and brands doing the hiring.
