About the Texas ProStart Invitational Competitions
Texas ProStart students with proven skills and a commitment to the industry are given the chance to showcase their abilities in the Texas ProStart Invitational. The Texas ProStart Invitational is composed of two distinct competitions: the culinary and management competitions. Regional competitions are held in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio and first through third place winning teams from each regional then compete at the state finals in Austin. The two winning teams, one culinary and one management, represent Texas at the National ProStart Invitational.
Teams participating in the culinary competition must demonstrate their creative abilities through the preparation of a three-course meal in only 60 minutes. Their performance during the practical session is observed and rated by judges from industry and leading colleges and universities.
Teams participating in the management competition demonstrate their knowledge of the restaurant and foodservice industry by developing a restaurant proposal, delivering a verbal presentation, and applying critical thinking skills to challenges managers face in day-to-day operations. Their performance is observed and rated by judges from leading colleges and universities and industry professionals.
To compete, schools must be a Texas ProStart school and submit a letter of intent and registration form. Click here for more information on the resources needed.
