## Giving back: Chef in Need

\
Funded with a percentage of our initial mint and then by 12.5% of our royalties these events aim to serve multiple purposes.\
Our community will be asked to form teams and put together a pitch deck, this will then be evaluated & awarded by the team and key community members.\\

Prices for the Mint Giveaway will be as follows:

* 1st: $7,000
* 2nd: $5,000
* 3rd: $3,000

Ongoing chef support will be funded by 12.&#x35;**%** of OG Chefs secondary market royalties. \
\
This initiative will serve to bring our community together and start mK's outreach towards more real world businesses.\\

## Product Spotlight / Web 3 E-Commerce&#x20;

Encourage small producers, especially those already engaged in E-commerce to showcase their products to our community. On a case-to-case basis the metaKitchen team will also endeavor to get deals on these products or help the producers expand their business online to increase their sales potential and allow them to accept crypto for payment.

Once we have established ourselves and have a suite of products and restaurants we would like to establish our own marketplace. This will act as a central location to showcase partner projects as well as providing an easy way for on-chain users to purchase goods and services from the real world in cryptocurrencies on the blockchain.&#x20;

## Restaurant Partnerships

Another critical feature we are planning to bring to our community. We understand that restaurants are geographically locked and cannot accommodate their services to an international community but our aim will be to target specific strategic cities based on our needs. This will also allow to grow our family of chef's and allow them to be engaged for suitable masterclasses.

Furthermore having strategic partnerships with opinion leaders in the industry will grant us exposure to niche local products that still have not been properly setup for exports and get us in contact with key producers in their region to accommodate the "Product Spotlight" Utility.&#x20;

## Masterclasses

metaKitchen will partner with in-house and outside chefs to provide exclusive masterclasses for our holders who want to take their Home Chef skills to a new level. We currently have 8 IRL Head Chefs in our community who are pushing the boundaries of culinary perfection. The head chef team will only grow bigger. What we are most excited about is the bonds we will form within our community and the ability to interact directly with the Head Chef, as opposed to just following a video.
