“Hello CHEF Sonia, It was great and I’d do it again. I still have a $201.00 credit left with the Sponsor ‘Try That!’ so it may be possible. Have a great day.

- Erland & Linda Dueck

10/10. Loved it… would do it again

- Joanna Dimitriadis

Last night we learned to cook my favourite dish - Thai Red Curry. Everything was made from scratch, so the flavours were so fresh and yummy. This will be a regular on our menu, and I don't think I'll ever eat this dish in a restaurant again, now that I know what it SHOULD taste like. Awesome experience. I'll be giving your number to my girlfriends. Please say thank you to Chef Patrick -he was so easy to work with!

- Sidney & Gail Mortimer

Loyalty Rewards Program Launched - 2009-05-20

The Chef Alliance has launched its new Loyalty Rewards program, offering an endless number of Chef Experiences as rewards."We are currently working with a number of companies across Canada to introduce Loyalty Rewards programs as a way for businesses to retain existing clients and bring on new clients," commented CHEF Sonia, The Chef Alliance's President."No longer a domain for the street-level stores, we are working with companies in the service sector to reward clients for using their service.  At this level, their clients are not interested in 'trinkets' or consumer products that they can buy themselves; they want something new & unique that they may not have considered buying for themselves. With hundreds of Personal Chefs across the country, every Chef Experience booked is completely different from the last one - clients can redeem their points for an Asian-style cooking class one time, and a Classical French dinner for 2 the next."Not only can the system be used for customer rewards programs, but also to track employee rewards.  This gives employees the flexibility to redeem their points when they want to for the Chef Gift Experience of their choice.Points can also be redeemed for gift cards to be used as gifts - The Chef Alliance launched their professional gift card service in March 2009.For more information on introducing a Loyalty Rewards program or for Professional Gift Card Printing services, please contact The Chef Alliance.
