Our Mission & Partnerships
San Jose-based ChefCentury offers local chefs a chance to focus on their culinary skills and connect with customers. The company was founded to help chefs hit hard by the pandemic as one way of “doing well to do good.” Chefs have access to a state-licensed, commercial kitchen; logistics for Pop-Ups, catering and specials; and marketing and customer service with no upfront costs. In turn, customers can sample new cuisines and dishes while supporting local talent.
