In the U.S. dining industry, only 19 percent of all chefs and 7 percent of head chefs are female. And Grubhub hopes to change that.
The food delivery company has launched “RestaurantHer” for Women’s History Month. It’s an initiative “dedicated to supporting women-led restaurants in the industry and advancing female leadership,” said Jessica Burns, Grubhub’s Senior Director of Brand Marketing.
An interactive map on the company’s website points out all nearby restaurants that are either owned by women or have a female executive chef, drawing from Grubhub’s vast database. It also allows restaurants to submit themselves to be a part of the project.
A major issue with the male-dominated food industry is the cutthroat culture and the lack of opportunity to rise to the top.
To address that, GrubHub is working with the Women’s Chefs and Restaurateurs organization to create tools that help all restaurant operators “to lead more equitable kitchens,” said Burns.
