UK CHEFS – GET INVOLVED 
Can organisations deliver great hospitality to guests while failing their own staff?
Do kitchen cultures differ from the wider organisation?
I'm looking for UK chefs to spare just 5 minutes to complete a short survey for my university dissertation, exploring workplace culture and the experiences of chefs across the UK.
Your responses are anonymous, and I'll share the findings once the research is complete.
This research is being conducted as part of my degree in International Hospitality Business Management at the University of Derby.
Have your say. Your experiences can help build a better understanding of working life in professional kitchens.
Please take part and share with other chefs who may be interested.
