Culinary Entrepreneurship Beta Program
Culinary school prepares you to be a cook and a chef, but it does not equip you with the skills necessary to be a successful entrepreneur in the food industry. Owning and operating a culinary business requires expertise that goes far beyond culinary skills and the dishes you create.
Just because someone is a great cook does not guarantee their success as a food industry entrepreneur.
The Culinary Management Company presents Culinary Entrepreneurship: The Business Side of Food, our signature professional program designed to guide you through the essential skills needed to establish and run a successful culinary-centered business. This program offers a blend of classroom learning, consulting, coaching, and professional development.
