On today's episode, I'm joined by Alice Cheng, Founder and CEO of Culinary Agents, a fantastic resource for hospitality workers seeking new professional development opportunities. Like many in the industry, Alice began in hospitality at a young age, working in food service as one of her first jobs. While she eventually moved on from the industry to pursue a career at IBM, she continued to work alongside friends who were growing in their hospitality professions. What started as a side hustle, helping these friends perfect their resumes or connect with potential employers, allowed Alice to merge her knowledge of hospitality with her experience in tech startups in the form of Culinary Agents. Alice now works to bridge the gap between passion and work, helping hospitality workers find roles that they can be excited about. That energy and commitment are among the reasons Alice cares so much about the hospitality industry. As she sees it, this business has something for everyone. - Culinary Agents - https://culinaryagents.com/ - Chris Cano - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrismcano/ - Upshift - https://www.linkedin.com/company/upsh%C4%B1ft/ #hospitality #Foodservice If you enjoyed today's show, please leave a 5-Star review.
