#FairKitchens is a global movement, fighting for a healthier and fairer hospitality industry
About us
#FairKitchens is a movement that’s calling for change by showing that a healthier culture makes for a healthier business. The foodservice industry faces a challenge: great chefs are leaving the industry, and young people are less likely to want to work in professional kitchens than any previous generation. What’s the cause? Research conducted by Unilever Food Solutions in 2017 revealed serious wellbeing issues in professional kitchens: 74% of chefs were sleep deprived to the point of exhaustion, 63% of chefs felt depressed, and more than half felt pushed to breaking point. Believing that this industry will only thrive when the people who work in it thrive, UFS came together with a group of chefs and partners including Naama Tamir, Michael Gulotta, Kat Kinsman, and John Vitale to initiate the #FairKitchens movement in 2018. Since then, we have expanded globally, attracting the support of chefs, operators, and hospitality businesses worldwide. #FairKitchens now has more than 20,000 community members learning from each other and creating resilient businesses in the process. Resources and success stories are shared to help operators improve working environments, with the focus on fair pay, fair treatment and fair hours. And in September 2021 we launched our first free online education series, ‘Leading a Fair Kitchen’, in partnership with The Culinary Institute of America. No meal should come at the cost of someone’s well being. If we are to retain staff and attract the future talent our industry desperately needs, we must act now.
