The first event, taking place on Tuesday 26th March (during HRC week) at 6pm at Piano Works in London Farringdon, has been designed to bring together people from across the hospitality, food service and supply chain to help raise vital funds for its designated charities.

The Wafflemeister Foundation has been created to make a difference to people’s lives through food and hospitality charitable activities. Team members from across the hospitality industry will be performing onstage throughout the evening. There will be complimentary drinks and canapés available at the event.

Talented individuals working in hospitality are encouraged to apply for the competition by sending in a short video of their performance for consideration for the night. The competition winner will be decided by the audience on the night.

People in hospitality businesses large and small are encouraged to buy tickets for themselves and their teams, through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hospitalitys-got-talent-tickets-781436005127?aff=oddtdtcreatorz. Funds raised will go towards the Make-A-Wish Foundation and The Burnt Chef Project.

Jon White, commercial director at Wafflemeister, said: “We’re already receiving auditions from hospitality professionals who are also singers, magicians, musicians and flair bartenders, as well as loads of clients who are really up for making it a great night out with their teams – don’t miss out, it’s going to be a fantastic evening!”

Bidfood will be the headline sponsor of the event alongside Bacardi, Tilda, Adnams Brewery, Dr Oetker Professional and Dewberry Redpoint acting as chief support.
