Hey Bill,

Thanks for the request. By the way, My father was President of the NAPC many Years back, and I grew up in your industry (but decided to stay in restaurants). I am sure we share a lot of the same insights on interviewing, and the industry in general. Look forward to more dialog.

Welcome to the FohBoh Network! I’m Donald Burns, CDMP & owner of chefTrac™.
There are a lot of resources here if you apply them…..some of the groups I like are Leading Generation Y, Restaurant Marketing, Ask The Experts……

I joined FohBoh to network with culinary professionals (like you) that are looking for more……from their team, themselves and their career. I thought you would be interested in the result and value based services that my company chefTrac™ offers.

“A unanimous commitment to self improvement, through the understanding of our natural strengths through statistically based programs that improve relations within and those we interact with.” – ChefTrac Mission Statement
chefTrac™ has centered it’s programs that support this mission. We create an immediate bond with those very unique individuals called chefs. They have their own language and sub-culture that can be difficult to communicate with. That is were I have the advantage, I am a chef working with chefs. I understand the real world frustrations and challenge that chefs and their teams face.
I have created a mini presentation that is just a brief overview of the programs offered.
If you have questions or would like to receive a package that contains more information on the programs mentioned in the presentation, just let me know.
