Hibachi for startups and tech teams
All-hands team dinners, offsite kickoffs, launch celebrations, and investor-dinner alternatives — for a team that's cost-conscious and wants the event to be memorable, not standard.
Why private hibachi fits startups & tech teams
Startups invest in team culture when they close rounds or ship releases. A $1,500 hibachi party for a 30-person team = $50/head and 10 years of "remember when the chef did the onion volcano after we closed Series A" stories. Steakhouse night for the same team = $5,000+ and nobody remembers the appetizer.
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.
