Redefine Your Future. Join Our Global Movement. 

In the restaurant world, women’s voices are still underrepresented at the highest tables of leadership – less than 7% of the world’s best restaurants are led by female chefs. Barriers including lack of mentorship, few role models and self-doubt continue to hold many talented women back from reaching their potential. At Rosewood Foundation, we inspire women to reach their potential by removing barriers to employment and career progression.

We are proud to introduce Rise to the Table, a Rosewood Foundation program aimed to empower female restaurant leaders of tomorrow. Selected participants will take part in a sponsored weeklong residency at Rosewood Hong Kong in early March 2026. The experience will combine relevant leadership and business skill development through professional coaching and strategy workshops that include personal branding and financial literacy. Following the residency, participants will embark on a one-year mentorship journey, as each is paired with a senior Rosewood leader.   

We hope to get to know you though this application. Are you a cook, sommelier, bartender, or service manager who is looking to learn to lead through mentorship, coaching and greater connection with industry leaders? Rosewood Foundation invites you to be part of this global movement where talent meets community, and every women’s success is celebrated.
