After 24 years on the kitchen front lines, I know exactly what it’s like when the bookings keep coming in but the kitchen staff doesn’t show up.
I’ve spent my career navigating the highest levels of the hotel industry, but I’ve also worked the pans in nursing homes, factories, and colleges. I’ve seen every side of this trade, which is why I founded Got Ya Chef Recruitment.
I didn’t start this agency to just be another middleman; I started it because I know the "no-staff" panic personally, and I wanted to provide a solution built by a chef, for chefs.
