The first Ohio ProStart® Invitational competition was held in 2003. The Invitational has evolved over the years and the rules are reviewed annually to keep current with ever-changing industry dynamics for excellence.
The Invitational is divided into two competitions: culinary skills/techniques, and restaurant management. The culinary competition requires student teams to prepare a three-course meal in 60 minutes, using only butane burners with no access to running water or electricity. The management competition requires students to develop a business proposal for an original restaurant concept and present to a panel of industry experts.
Listed below are winners from previous years.
