NJREF Student Bootcamp

The NJREF ProStart Student Bootcamp is a daylong event (9 am - 1 pm) for both culinary and management students to prepare and hone their skills for the upcoming ProStart Student Invitational. Both breakfast and lunch will be provided, courtesy of NJREF and our sponsors. This event is fueled by several volunteers who will be separated into groups to work with students in a few different areas:

Culinary:

• National Rules Overview, Scoring, and Penalties
• Menus and Costing
• Chef Uniforms, Work Station Setup / Mise en Place / Sanitation
• Knife Cuts, Plating & Presentation

Management:

• Preparation, Proposals, Item Check-In
• Menu Development & Costing
• Floorplan, Operations, & Critical Thinking
• Concepts, Marketing, and Presentations

If you are an industry professional, we need your help as a volunteer. A copy of the ProStart competition rulebook will be provided to you in advance to cover specific topics with the students and talk about your personal experience. Please register as a volunteer.

If you are an educator, please register as a ProStart school member for yourself and each of your team's students.
