Three years of preparation, 1,600 rival chefs from all over the world in glass-fronted kitchens, 1,800 seats in restaurants in the halls and 1,700 set menus freshly prepared and served each day; the IKA Culinary Olympics is the world's culinary climax . Chefs and patissiers from over 50 nations once again come together in Germany from 6th-9th October 2012 for this prestigious event.

“Its great to have the on-going support of industry organisations such as HSC; a staffing company that truly embodies the spirit of Masakhane” said Team Manager, Bruce Burns.

In its role as sponsor to the team, HSC has been appointed as the Official Staffing Partner and will be assisting in supplying the specialist front of house and kitchen staff that goes hand-in-hand with the team practises and various upcoming showcase events. In addition, HSC management and staff will also be assisting the team with expertise on running and managing the future events.

One of the added benefits of this sponsorship is the inevitable skills transfer and exposure of many of the HSC Chefs to the Team and their experience. This will be facilitated through various Skills Kitchen programmes as well as exposure at the events themselves. HSC will also involve clients in the exclusive and all important practice dinners allowing for some insight into the hard work and dedication it takes to GO FOR GOLD at the IKA Culinary Olympics.
