YumVillage

Introduction: What we’re building is a system and a standard. YumVillage focuses on giving chef’s and foodpreneurs an opportunity to build and grow with an audience that they’re able to solicit feedback from with every event. Additionally we donate a % of ticket proceeds to local nonprofits. Prior to the onset of an event the team behind YumVillage will go over all the food costs, total tickets price, total cost of the event, and will have negotiated a percent of the profits that will go back to the chef as well as to local non-profits. “We want to really take the barriers of entry away from a chef so that they have a platform where they can earn a sustainable living and also develop a brand and grow with an audience in the process,” said Ihentuge. What’s also great is they hold no prejudice to the success (or lack of) that a chef may already have, the YumVillage team is willing to work with aspiring talent showing promise and aggressive interest in their own growth.
