After the successful chapter of The Chefs Delight Awards Programme which ran from 2012 to 2013, International Quality Awards Ltd and Go Places, hospitality and tourism-marketing brand, have announced the commencement of the long awaited 2nd chapter of the Chefs’ Delight Awards, the bar & mixology awards.
For the next three months, the country’s leading restaurant and bar teams will be battling it out, for ultimate supremacy for the top most accolades as the best in their categories as voted by their own customers. The voting process will be carried out via IQAL mobile applications.
Speaking at the Luis Leakey auditorium at the Kenya National Museum in Nairobi, the Group CEO of international Quality Awards Ltd, Mansoor Jiwani, said that an exciting new element has been included in the programme, where a corresponding industry awards will be run side-by-side complimenting the Chefs Delight Awards, the Bar & Mixology Awards.
Chef’s delight is one example of a program that has made major strides in the hospitality sector and is informed by the need for the culinary and beverage service sector to strongly reach internationally acclaimed levels. “When International Quality Awards first began its journey, we had a noble goal in mind and set out to do what no other awards programme has done before,” says Jiwani.
“Having worked as a chef myself in the industry, I asked our IQAL awards team to create an unbiased industry awards programme that would continually help build and enhance our culinary and beverage service sector.”
This means focusing on participating establishments and their services team for fair competition. The idea is to encourage participants to be the best in their categories, neither judged by panel of judges nor by individuals on the internet who have never visited and experienced what these establishments have to offer, but more importantly based on their own clients’ opinion.
