MYTH 2 - I DON'T NEED CHEF INSURANCE
You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance, or buy a house without insuring it, so why put yourself at risk personally by not insuring your business?
Membership gives you access to the Chef Insurance program which offers liability insurance at a much lower cost than if you were to try to get the insurance by yourself! Rates for Chef Insurance start as low as $300/year.
Chef Insurance gives you your own policy - it's not a group program where you share the coverage amount with all of the other members - so your business won't be affected by the claims of other members.
SO... Even with the cost of the membership factored in - you'll still be saving money!
MYTH 3 - I WON'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF THE MEMBERSHIP
Members of The Chef Alliance get discounts on a wide range of goods and services that they already use or need for their personal life, for family and friends and for their business!
As a member, you could net savings of thousands of dollars each year on goods or services - from housewares to electronics, beauty products to travel, clothing to marketing services, education to pet products - there are hundreds of dollars in savings each and every month.
SO... Membership in The Chef Alliance is a resource you can't do without.

MYTH 5 - I DON"T NEED TO BE A MEMBER

It's like being accredited by the Better Business Bureau - except you get more 'bang for your buck' as a member. of The Chef Alliance!
