ÇaToque

ÇaToque is a platform for home cooking lessons between individuals. Individuals who are eager to learn can find other individuals on this platform who wish to give cooking lessons. 

There are a wide range of profiles. Indeed, the teachers, more commonly called “Toqueurs”, are not necessarily graduates: parents with a passion for cooking, self-taught students or retired chefs. Everyone can find a place on ÇaToque and generate the type of income they want. 

Besides, for the students, known as the “Toqués”, a practical and friendly service is offered to them since the lessons take place at their home or near their home, that is to say at the Toqueur’s home, thanks to a geolocation algorithm.

A word
from the founder

During the creation of companies that have marked the history of entrepreneurship, the human aspect has often been put aside. Today, I want to put this ingredient, which I believe is essential to the growth of a start-up, back at the centre of my thinking. From the concept to the recruitment, ÇaToque is the result of a reflection which combines both the human aspect, as distinct from the social aspect, and profit. It’s not a question of making utopian speeches, but rather of getting as close as possible to reality. In a world where one out of two start-ups will never see the light of day, everyone must find where to draw their energy, their strength and their differentiation.

A few
more information

I started ÇaToque at the age of 17, with the aim of generating enough income to fulfil my dreams. 

 My aunt was my muse: she had exceptional culinary skills but had to do odd jobs that were not commensurate with her talent, as she did not have a diploma due to her complex personal background. 

 Beyond that, I knew that she was not the only one in this situation and I also knew that learning the culinary arts, which is becoming increasingly popular, was in high demand. The idea of this platform seemed to me to be the best option.
