Teambuilding using the medium of food is a novel way of creating an opportunity to build team-spirit, interaction and innovation in your business units. Using the medium of food (as a common starting point) introduces challenges and opportunities to create an atmosphere of interaction. The playing fields are levelled for men and women alike, in a fun, interactive and entertaining manner.

The key drivers include creating unity, mutual understanding, igniting team spirit, developing the ability to listen, co-ordinating tasks, encouraging co-operation, task related interactive team-work, completing tasks timeously, innovation, goal-setting, keeping to schedule, and, of course, lots of fun and laughs.

Teambuilds are structured and personalised around each specific group and helps bring people out of themselves and expose new and hidden talents, in a light-hearted and humorous way. This is an opportunity for even the most uninformed chef to experience the thrills, skills, techniques, creativity and pressures of modern cuisine. Key learnings are highlighted in how teamwork can either create success or failure – both in and out of the kitchen.

Duration
Each teambuild takes between 2-3 hours, and are best done between 8am-11am (breakfast), 11am-2pm (lunch), 2pm-5pm (late lunch) or 6pm-9pm (supper).

Types of teambuilds
We cater for different client requirements, some teambuilds forging unity, team spirit and co-operation, whilst others driving competitiveness, goal-setting, and task related interactive team-work.
