ENGAGEMENT THAT ISN'T A SURVEY

Your engagement scores told you
something's missing.This is how you answer.

A pulse survey names the problem. A shared meal starts fixing it. We ship a fresh Ingredient Kit to every teammate and a chef hosts the cook live — ninety minutes where your people are together, hands busy, actually talking. New client? Your first event's upgrades are on us.

BEYOND THE SURVEY
The gap between knowing and doing.

Most engagement programs are very good at measurement and very bad at follow-through. The survey says people feel disconnected; the response is another all-hands. A hands-on cook-along is the rare thing that answers the actual complaint — it puts distributed people in the same room doing the same thing at the same time. One People team runs it after every engagement survey now, as the answer rather than the announcement.

How we keep everyone engaged →
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Employee engagement, answered.
The ones where everybody does the same thing at the same time. A shipped-kit cooking event gives every remote employee identical ingredients and one live chef, so nobody is watching someone else's activity on a screen. Around 90 minutes, coast to coast.
Happy hours ask people to perform. Cooking gives them something to do with their hands, which is why cameras come on and the quieter people stay. There's a task, a chef leading it, and a meal at the end.
One event won't move a score on its own — anyone who says otherwise is selling. What it does is answer the specific complaint most surveys surface: people feel disconnected from each other. Teams that run it on a rhythm see it show up in the comments before the numbers.
It's one of the most common reasons teams book. A kit arriving at someone's door with their name on it reads as recognition in a way a plaque or a points balance doesn't. Signature events and up include a keepsake made in-house.
From a small team to 200+ across the country. Larger groups stay hands-on with breakout-style guidance so it never turns into a lecture.
Every guest's Ingredient Kit is built to their needs at no upcharge — gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, nut-free, and allergen substitutions. Everyone cooks the same dish, adapted to them.
About four weeks is comfortable — that's mostly time for your team to register and for us to gather shipping addresses. Two weeks is the workable minimum, and our Late-Add Guarantee covers people who sign up at the last second.
Pricing is per Ingredient Kit, all-inclusive — chef instruction, fresh ingredients, shipping, and taxes. Social Experiences start at $118 per kit and Signature at $150. Build your event in minutes or talk to a founder.
