Additional features that are yet to be added include a forum where chefs can collaborate and share ideas, ‘how to’ videos and a place to renew or sign up for membership.
Andrew Green, chief executive of the Craft Guild of Chefs, commented: “One thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted for many in the industry is the importance of community.
“At the Craft Guild of Chefs, we’ve always had our network at the heart of everything we do, which includes our popular supper clubs to our training and awards schemes.
“Over the year’s we have been asked to create a home for all of these resources on an app and following several months of hard work, I’m delighted to announce that we’ve launched a beta version in the app stores and a special mention must go to Matt Owens our vice chairman in pulling it all together.
“Over the coming months we will be expanding on the app’s features to give members more of what they want and need and make it an invaluable resource in the hands of our chef membership.”
