ProStart students with proven skills and a commitment to the industry are given the chance to showcase their abilities in the National ProStart Invitational.

Teams of students representing their state restaurant association’s ProStart program compete in the individual state competitions. First-place winning teams in the culinary and/or management competitions then move on to compete at the annual National ProStart Invitational. Vigorous coursework and on-the-job training are key elements to success.

Two challenging competitions.

The National ProStart Invitational is composed of two distinct competitions: the culinary and management competitions. First-through fifth-place winning teams from each of the two events are awarded medals and scholarships to pursue a career in the restaurant and foodservice industry.

Teams participating in the culinary competition must demonstrate their creative abilities through the preparation of a three-course meal in only 60 minutes. Their performance during the practical session is observed and rated by judges from leading colleges and universities.

Teams participating in the management competition demonstrate their knowledge of the restaurant and foodservice industry by developing a restaurant proposal, delivering a verbal presentation, and applying critical thinking skills to challenges managers face in day-to-day operations. Their performance is observed and rated by judges from leading colleges and universities and industry professionals.

Location and date.

The 11th Annual National ProStart Invitational will be held April 27-29, in Baltimore, Maryland at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront hotel.
