Imagine your team making
an entire meal together!
A fun and inspiring team building event
For bringing your team together.
A team building event
using your team to create a wondrous meal!
A great way to support your team towards building morale and increasing trust by preparing a great meal, breaking bread and acting as a team outside of the normal team routine.
What's the big idea
Your team will be cooking a four to ten course cuisine together. The level of cooking skill is not important but cooking together is. Your team will cook a meal based on a particular cuisine or theme (i.e. Italian, Hungarian, Greek, Brazilian, Spanish). We use cooking both as a metaphor and as an example of how your team works together in the workplace.
The structure
Before Cooking
After an introduction the participants will be randomly put into sub-teams. The sub-teams will be in charge of cooking (or assembling) a particular dish (or two), and will be given the appropriate recipe(s) and ingredients.
Cooking
Some dishes will be easy and others might be more challenging (just like work). Sub-team members will also get to negotiate cooking space, equipment, roles and timing.
Eating
The meal is served by the sub-teams in courses (one course at a time). The task is for the sub-teams to serve their dishes for everyone to enjoy at the appropriate time.
Debrief
After the meal is eaten we do a debrief that will ensure that lessons learned about cooking as a team will be used in the work space.
Where
We use commercial kitchens throughout the United States.
How long
2-6 hours, depending on your needs.
How many people
We can accommodate as many people as you have on your team, from 6 to 20 people. We can accommodate large groups too.
The focus is on teams not the cooking
We have over 27 years in building teams. Our focus is in transferring the lessons learned from the this culinary experience into the work space. This team building event is truly a team building experience. Your team will be working on a project together towards a specific goal. All the while having fun and producing something that all members will enjoy.
Dietary restrictions
Don't worry about your teams dietary restrictions. We will survey your team (you don't have to) and determine each persons dietary requirements. We will then design the menu accordingly.
Cost
Starting at $1,750 USD, plus expenses.
Ease
It is easy: we take care of the whole event including arranging for the facility, creating a custom menu, getting the food and facilitating the whole process.
Optional debrief report
We will capture the lessons learned from cooking as a team in a report that your team members will receive after the event.
