business model

Culinary Knights aims to serve those in the community considered society's "marginalized" population.  The plan is to operate a store-front while offering training in the food service industry.  Training will be comprehensive from back-to-front-of-house preparation to service.  Participants will learn basic kitchen etiquette, knife skills, customer service, problem solving, and on-the-job training.  An option to obtain a ServSafe certificate, a California food handler's card, will be offered at the end of their instruction.  Our intention is to gather momentum and evolve into a full-service restaurant/cafe with a space to continue instruction and this program.  This expanded version of our space would include a culinary garden and an extended barista program.
