What is chefmaker?
Chefmaker invites aspiring chefs who have a delicious appetizer, entree or dessert concept in mind to apply for this innovative mentorship and business training program. In a competitive application process six food entrepreneurs will be chosen and matched with a local restaurant for hands on training in restaurant service, menu design, meal prep, staffing and customer feedback. The result is a one-night meal service to test market their dishes with their respective partner restaurants. Chefmaker 2022 will focus on the San Gabriel Valley and Orange County regions.
Following the restaurant tastings, the aspiring chefs, along with additional Chefmaker applicants, will receive one-on-one, no cost business coaching from the Latino Restaurant Association and the Orange County Inland Empire Small Business Development Center Network.
The goal of Chefmaker is to give aspiring restaurateurs access to the training and resources they need to jumpstart their culinary dreams after the devastating economic impacts of the past few years.
