Is PASS free for chefs?

Yes — PASS is free forever for hospitality staff. You build a verified Chef-ID, enter battles, and get matched to kitchens at no cost.

How does PASS verify a chef's work history?

Every job is confirmed by the head chef or manager who actually employed you — real, dated, and impossible to fake. AI never grants a verification.

What are PASS battles?

60-second cook-off videos where the community watches and votes. They are a way to prove your craft and climb the rankings.

Can restaurants hire on PASS?

Yes. Venues search verified chefs and message them directly. Plans start at £99/month (Café) and £249/month (Restaurant), each billed in the venue's own currency.

Which languages does PASS support?

PASS works in 18 languages worldwide, including English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi and more.
