Welcome to The Paperwork Chef!

We are dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses to start, scale, and sustain regulatory-compliant food enterprises. Our mission to increase diversity throughout the supply chain by simplifying the complexities of food-based entrepreneurship, is achieved by providing strategic business support from idea to franchise. 

 

Our comprehensive range of products and services includes coaching, training, program development, food safety and pest management. Our focus is on helping you become more business-savvy by creating documented programs, procedures, and providing the tools you can use to build a company culture that meets local, federal, and international food regulations. Whether you aim to start a food business, enhance your operations, or simply need a boost of positive energy, The Paperwork Chef is here to support you every step of the way.

Our clients' success is our top priority. We excel in creating and delivering relevant and impactful programs, policies, and procedures that drive results. We've helped entrepreneurs and organizations achieve their goals and transform operations through comprehensive training, innovative solutions, and expert advice.

As a social enterprise, we dedicate a portion of our profits to improving social determinants of health. We focus on two key areas:

  • Economic Stability: We work to increase the number and longevity of viable food-based businesses, fostering economic growth and stability in diverse communities by providing free and low-cost programming.

  • Education Access and Quality: We ensure that youth from low-income communities have exposure to food-based STEM careers, access to mentors, training opportunities, and pathways to success in the food industry.

Need Strategy and Support?

Coaching & Consulting

We specialize in creative solutions to fit your specific needs. Whether you want help working through your business plan or need an expert to call for occasional guidance, our coaching and consulting program supports you in making your dreams a reality.

Food Safety Management

Our food safety experts know how challenging it can be to stay compliant with current regulatory requirements. From passing opening inspections to ensuring your pest control vendor is keeping the pests out. We develop programs, write policies and procedures, audit facilities, and manage food safety incidents so you won't have to worry about the health inspector. 

 Training &
Program Development

A well-trained and led team is the most important part of the business. To ensure you comply with regulatory requirements, we offer ANSI certified Food Safety training such as ServSafe Manager, Food Handler, and Allergens training to professionals in the US (Including Chicago) and internationally. We also develop and deliver a variety of developmental trainings for your organization.
