Olla Común
Compete all you like. Dinner is still one pot.
A team challenge with a twist built into the rules: every team works its own station, and every station ends up in the same pot. Competition that only pays off if it is shared — three hours, facilitator chef, full menu.
- 01The briefTeams are drawn and each one gets a station, a role in the meal and a limited set of ingredients. Nobody has everything they need.
- 02The challengeTeams cook against the clock — and negotiate with each other for what they are missing. That trade is the exercise.
- 03The common potEvery station is served into one meal and tasted together. The result is judged as one table, not four.
Move the headcount and switch the extras on or off. The price updates as you go.
- Lead chef who runs the activity
- 3 kitchen assistants (one per 8 guests), who also coordinate and clean up
- Ingredients and full menu for 24 people
- Aprons, knives and specialty cooking utensils
- Transport of ingredients and equipment (by zone), set-up and clean-up
- Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options at no extra cost
The team grows with your group: one kitchen assistant per 8 guests. Part of the cost (the chef, the transport) is shared, so the per-person price drops as the group grows. No extra charges on the day.
- Kitchen or stoves
- Pots and pans
- Plates, glasses and cutlery
- Tables and chairs
At your place. We bring the experience.
We run the experience at your office, house or event space. We arrive with the chef, the cooks, the host, the food and the drinks, plus aprons, knives, specialty utensils and the coffee or tasting gear. We set up before your team arrives and leave the space clean.
What the space needs- A room where the whole group fits, with tables and chairs
- For cooking: a kitchen or stoves, pots and pans
- Plates, glasses, cups and cutlery for the group
- Running water and a sink close by
- Collaboration under time pressure, made visible
- A live lesson in negotiating resources across teams
- A win that only counts collectively — the point of the format
Kick-offs, cross-area teams that rarely work together, sales and operations groups, and anyone whose "collaboration" workshop needs a body.
