Why restaurants work with us

Built by operators. Paid on results.

We're not a call-centre agency. ChefConnect is run by IKKI Group — we staff our own kitchens every service, so we vet the way you'd hire.

Operators, not middlemen

We run kitchens too

IKKI Group operates four venues in the heart of Heidelberg — two à la carte restaurants and a large events location for banquets, dinner shows and gala dinners. We hire for the exact stations you're filling.

Deep bench

A network on tap

Years on the line have built us a wide network of chefs. When you need someone, we put matching, pre-screened candidates in front of you fast.

No win, no fee

Pay only on success

No retainer and no upfront cost. You pay only when a placement works out — if we don't deliver, you don't pay.

Fast

First names in 7 days

Tell us the station, the style and the city. We come back with your first vetted candidates within seven days.
