Frequently asked

What to know before your first enquiry.

How does a collaboration work?

In four steps: analysis of your existing products and processes, development of individual recipes and standards, hands-on training for your team, and ongoing support to secure the implementation through follow-ups and visits.

Are there standard packages or ready-made ranges?

No. Every concept is developed individually – matched to the property, the region, the kitchen and the quality standard. There is no off-the-shelf assortment.

How does the Resident Bread Expert differ from a training session?

A training session is a one-off appointment. As Resident Bread Expert, the bread culture of your property is developed across the entire year – with seasonal concepts, regular on-site visits and clearly defined quality standards.

Are international projects possible?

Yes. International projects and personal collaboration are arranged individually.

Can Chris Ofner be booked for events?

Yes – for keynotes, masterclasses, live baking shows and authentic live formats at events, exhibitions and brand experiences. See Speaker & Live for details.
