Hibachi for churches & nonprofits

Volunteer appreciation dinners, donor cultivation events, staff retreats, and youth-group end-of-year celebrations — on a nonprofit budget.

Why private hibachi fits churches & nonprofits

Nonprofits need high-impact events that don't look wasteful on the 990. $50/head for a volunteer-appreciation dinner is defensible, memorable, and keeps volunteers coming back. For donor events, the private-home format is more intimate than a hotel ballroom and the fire show gives a natural moment for the ask.

How it works

One chef (or two for 25+ guests) arrives at your venue — office, home, event space, or offsite rental — with a portable teppanyaki griddle, propane, every ingredient, plates, utensils, sauces, and trash bags. The chef cooks hibachi-style in front of your group, does the fire show at the midpoint, and leaves the space cleaner than they found it. 2-2.5 hours door-to-door.
