Learn From a Chef

Learn From a Chef offers home cooks virtual cooking classes taught by Michelin-trained chefs. The platform has over 500 active users and 18 chef instructors, with more being added weekly. Learn From a Chef was developed to give some financial footing to chefs who have been furloughed during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The current class management system is time-consuming for chef instructors who only want to spend three hours per week teaching live classes. As a result, chef instructors are not registering more classes.

Chef instructors currently create classes using a combination of Google Forms, Google Docs, and Acuity Scheduling. Aside from being spread across multiple tools, the class creation framework is fairly open-ended, which, in this case, leads to inefficiency.

From a business perspective, having materials spread out across tools makes it difficult to stay organized.

- Increase chef instructor retention by making the process of creating and managing a class quicker and easier.

- Reduce the number of external applications necessary for daily operations.
