GOOD TO GO BY JBF
Good to Go by JBF is an incubator for new, fast-casual concepts from established operators who embody the James Beard Foundation’s mission and values. We’re featuring a selection of dishes crafted by our James Beard House Fellows in advance of our first incubator concept this fall. Swing by for bites like Pernil al Horno, Salmon Croquettes, and Burnt Honey Mocha Cupcakes. These menu items are only available for a short period of time, so don’t miss your chance to try them out!
The mission of Good To Go is to incubate new, fast casual concepts from experienced operators in a risk-mitigated environment, allowing JBF to operate a successful kiosk while offering the chef valuable data, metrics, and financial support that will promote the future growth of the concept.
The Foundation's operational partner, Great Performances (GP), will test, finalize, and execute each concept from application through service. Regular meetings and check-ins will be scheduled with JBF and GP team members to review sales, guest feedback, food cost, and other metrics.
Incubator concepts will collect a stipend of $3,500 per month while in residence. At the end of the run, JBF may help to broker conversations with entities that feature fast-casual concepts.
Concepts will be selected from this application process which is open to the public and there is no requirement for a chef to have previously been through other JBF programs or events. No special consideration will be given to chefs that have previously been through Foundation programs or events, though chefs and concepts will need to be mission- and value-aligned with JBF.
The application period has now closed. Stay tuned for updates!
