Team Building
BackCulinary Team Building - a tasteful approach to team building
A Culinary Team Building program creates an atmosphere of teamwork and camaraderie. Your business team will have fun while relating to colleagues in an appetizing way.
Introduction
Get to know the Executive Chef and the staff. They will take a few minutes to explain what happens, how it happens and who is involved. Learn something new, introduce a whole new way of interacting with one another, listen to instructions and work together to produce a certain product.
Objectives
- Work as a team toward a common goal.
- Skillfully interact with other members of the group.
- Have fun and be creative.
- Create a feeling of accomplishment.
- Build better relationships with fellow colleagues.
- Strategize as a team on how to produce the product (goal) set forth.
- Focus on leadership (group leadership) rather than having a specific leader.
How It Works
The Executive Chef divides the group into teams and sends each team to their appropriate stations, where there is an example of what the finished product should look like. At this point, the time line, safety, and proper sanitation will also be addressed.
Meal Preparation
Once the teams are at their designated stations, the Chef and assistants will provide a cooking demonstration that involves a selected menu item. The Chef will include some group participants to take part in the demonstration. Then the prep begins! During the preparation, our Chef and assistants will be moving about the room to assist when necessary. Upon completion of the meal preparations, the food is plated or set as a buffet, and the Chef will begin a debriefing.
Debrief
The Chef will debrief with the participants by asking if they accomplished the goals and objectives expected of them. They will also discuss working in a new capacity as a team and the evolution of a team leadership for this experience.
