**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.
