The Ohio ProStart Invitational is a high school competition that showcases the talent of the next generation of restaurant management and culinary arts professionals. This exciting event features two separate competitions - culinary and management. The culinary competition requires teams to prepare a 3-course meal in 60 minutes without access to running water or electricity using only two butane burners. The management competition has teams develop an original restaurant concept and present it to a panel of judges who ask the students to solve challenges that restuarant managers face every day.

This is your opportunity to watch the next generation of culinary and management students deliver their best culinary masterpieces and restaurant concepts and compete to win their spot in the National ProStart Invitational in Baltimore, MD April 26-28, 2024.
