Notes from leadership:

Ohai Chefs!
You are all valued Chef users, and we appreciate your insight and would like to make our product even better.

One way to accomplish that is to share your insights directly with our product team through this survey.

The survey takes 15-20 minutes to complete, and your input will be instrumental in helping us improve Chef and your overall experience.

Take the Survey

We are better together; thank you for your time and insight.

As a bonus and token of our appreciation, we are giving away 100 swag bundles to randomly chosen survey participants.
