my starting point.”
I'm Semih Erdem – chef, entrepreneur and family man. For two years I have been head chef at Spielbank Stuttgart. I gained my event catering experience at Rauschenberger Eventcatering – from events with 60 guests to the IAA with 6,000 guests. My view of hospitality starts in the kitchen: with the ingredients, the preparation and the teamwork. For me, good food happens where careful craftsmanship meets well-organised processes.
I combine this standard with entrepreneurial thinking. How can costs be calculated transparently, tasks organised clearly and stock kept in view? These questions also drive me in developing Chefscalc – my own project for everyday hospitality.
From events with 60 guests
to the IAA with 6,000 guests.
From practice.
With perspective.
In a working kitchen, many tasks interlock: prepping, cooking, coordinating and delivering at the right moment. I'm interested in how these individual steps become a reliable workflow – with clear agreements, a mindful approach to ingredients and attention to the result on the plate.
