Young Chefs Academy Is A Scalable Business With Many Pathways To Profitability
Many Young Chefs Academy cooking franchise opportunities start with a single facility that offers two kitchens. There, they can implement any or all of the various programs we have for children and even adults. Others open with a multi-kitchen facility that allows for more classes, or a second, independent site for even more revenue opportunities.
The proof that Young Chefs Academy’s business model is able to connect with parents and kids is the fact that our sales are increasing year over year. According to our most recent Franchise Disclosure Document, Young Chefs Academy experienced a 27% increase in same-store sales from 2021 to 2022. This is a testament not only to our proven business model but also the result of the level of engagement that our classes provide to our students. Most importantly, it’s the result of our passionate franchise owners, who go above and beyond to provide meaningful, fun, and educational experiences to the rising stars of the culinary world.

Cooking Franchise Opportunities
An Array Of Classes Creates Multiple Revenue Streams
The Young Chefs Academy cooking franchise model was built around a membership platform, where parents enroll their children in a series of classes. Depending on the child’s age, he or she can progress from kindergarten all the way through high school at these levels:
- KinderCooks®
- JuniorChefs™
- SeniorChefs™
As children become engaged with Young Chefs Academy as members, they work to earn patches for their chef coat and, eventually, earn a black coat that indicates full mastery of all skill sets!
