Benny Se Teo Becoming a Motivational Speaker & F&B Consultant After Leaving Eighteen Chefs

Miss seeing Benny Se Teoโ€™s face in Eighteen Chefs restaurants or on various Eighteen Chefs advertisements?

Donโ€™t worry; while you might no longer see him as you down your salted egg yolk burger, youโ€™d be able to see him motivating you instead.

Because the man who co-founded one of most well-known brands in Singapore isnโ€™t going to retire fully: heโ€™s going to be a โ€œChef-At-Large and a Serial Motivational Speakerโ€.

Benny Se Teo Becoming a Motivational Speaker & F&B Consultant After Leaving Eighteen Chefs

On Tuesday, Benny dropped a bombshell: heโ€™s leaving the restaurant chain that he co-founded.

Thereโ€™s no mention on the reason why he left, but he highlighted that he left the company โ€œon a good noteโ€, and wished the company well.

It also appears that heโ€™s retiringโ€ฆa few days later, that is, when he posted this:

Yes, heโ€™s not retiring after all.

In his announcement, he said that other than being a motivational speaker, heโ€™s going to do consulting for F&B businesses (both restaurants and hawkers) in โ€œcreating new concepts food strategies โ€ฆ kitchen planning โ€ฆ marketing and menu development โ€ฆ mentoring entrepreneurs and their food development teams and driving operational excellence โ€ฆ Pre & Post opening onsite training and management support.โ€

And in his usual trademark style, he ended the post with a joke: โ€œMy opening line is still : When you want to destroy the life of your enemy ask him/her to start a restaurant.โ€

Since then, heโ€™s gone back to making cheeky jokes on his Facebook page:

His new image doesnโ€™t appear to be him in his Eighteen Chefs uniform with his arms folded, but a black jacket with a friendly smile:

Eighteen Chefs, The Company That Started in 2007

The first Eighteen Chefs outlet was opened in 2007 at Eastpoint Mall by Benny as he had difficulty finding a job due to his status as an ex-offender and former drug addict.

The restaurant chain is popular for employing ex-offenders.

In addition, the company also has a franchise model (which means the outlet youโ€™re in now might be a franchise), with one of the conditions being that they have to employ ex-offenders.

The chain currently has 10 outlets in Singapore.
