What is culinary team building?

One of the most important dynamic elements in any professional kitchen is group coherence. This dynamic is a key component to any successful business. Here is an enjoyable opportunity to bring together employees from various departments in your organization, create an experience for them to meet and to work together as a team, and produce immediate and tangible results.

What can I expect from the experience?

By engaging in small projects, i.e. recipes, in smaller groups, employees have the opportunity to see how their recipe becomes integrated into the complete dining experience, thereby understanding how a single contribution is imperative to the whole.

The results are:
Team Building in Denver Increased communication
Team Building in Denver Effective time management
Team Building in Denver Quality interaction
Team Building in Denver Mutual cooperation
Team Building in Denver A tremendous meal at the end

Chef Dan provides direct supervision and guidance at every stage of the event.

When the meal preparations are complete, employees relax with a glass of wine, enjoy a delicious meal and Chef Dan will conduct a casual review, leading the class in discussion over the day's accomplishments and areas where improvements can be made.

Complete and detailed recipe packets are provided for each participant.
