Company Description

About CocuSocial 

CocuSocial is an established culinary experience provider in the U.S. We bring people together through hands-on cooking, baking, and tasting experiences at partner venues across the Orange County.

The experience we're creating 

Our classes are meant to feel like an outing as much as a lesson — guests come to try something new, in a social, low-pressure setting, at venues worth the trip. Classes are beginner-friendly; most guests have never taken a cooking class before, and that's exactly the point.

Job Description

We are seeking experienced chef instructors to teach live, in-person recreational cooking, baking, and pastry classes. This opportunity is available for chefs who are interested in teaching in one of CocuSocial's partner venues (restaurants, hotels, breweries, event spaces).

We're looking for experienced chef instructors who are comfortable teaching any of the following popular international dishes: Sushi, Handmade Pasta, Pizza, Dumplings, Ramen, Cheese Making, Spanish Paella and Spanish Tapas and Mixology 

Why teach with CocuSocial

  • Flexible schedule — teach as often as suits you
  • $200–$350 per class, plus tips
  • Marketing, bookings, and guest communication handled by CocuSocial
  • Support developing and refining your class format

Qualifications

Who we're looking for

  • Culinary experience: chef, caterer, culinary instructor, culinary school grad, or accomplished self-taught cook
  • Comfortable leading a group and teaching in a clear, hands-on way
  • Reliable and organized
  • Evening and weekend availability

Nice to have
