Attention Start-Up Chefs

The Marriott Irvine is debuting a first-of-its-kind hotel industry program called CANVAS through January that invites passionate, local chef entrepreneurs to test their new food and drink business ideas in their hotel-based concept labs.

​Local start-up chefs can pitch their food or drink concept, and be selected to incubate their ideas at the Marriott Irvine hotel, receive startup money, and get professional advice from Marriott to realize their ambitions. The space is ready-to-build at the Irvine Marriott, and Marriott's team of designers will work with start-up chefs to help realize a space that supports their vision. Marriott will test their restaurant chops and get the chef's idea off the ground.

This video does a great job explaining the concept.
