About CocuSocial
CocuSocial is an established culinary experience provider in the U.S. We bring people together through hands-on cooking, baking, and tasting experiences at partner venues across the Orange County.
The experience we're creating
Our classes are meant to feel like an outing as much as a lesson — guests come to try something new, in a social, low-pressure setting, at venues worth the trip. Classes are beginner-friendly; most guests have never taken a cooking class before, and that's exactly the point.
We are seeking experienced chef instructors to teach live, in-person recreational cooking, baking, and pastry classes. This opportunity is available for chefs who are interested in teaching in one of CocuSocial's partner venues (restaurants, hotels, breweries, event spaces).
CocuSocial Chef Instructors can expect flexible scheduling, the opportunity to teach recipes and dishes they're passionate about, a supportive team to assist in creating best-selling classes, and competitive compensation.
We're looking for experienced chef instructors who are comfortable teaching any of the following popular international dishes: Sushi, Handmade Pasta, Pizza, Dumplings, Ramen, Cheese Making, Spanish Paella and Spanish Tapas and Mixology
