Licensee Testimonial

"We had long wanted to run professional halal competitions, but we had neither the standards nor the credibility. World Halal gave us both. The training was rigorous (the exam was genuinely difficult), but it was worth it. Now our competitions are the main event of the year for chefs in our country."
— Aidar N., President of the National Chefs Association, Almaty


Frequently Asked Questions

I have no experience running competitions. Am I a good fit?
Yes, as long as you're willing to learn. We train you from scratch — from choosing a venue to working with the jury.

Can I hold competitions online only?
Yes, the "Start" package allows an online-only format (video selection). However, to obtain a wild card for the Halal Chef Grand Final, an in-person semifinal is required.

What is the royalty rate?
For the "Start" and "Professional" packages — 0% royalty (a fixed fee only). For the "Franchise" package — 5% of registration fees.

How often does the license need to be renewed?
Annually. If KPIs are met — priority renewal without a price increase.

I want to hold a competition in another country. Is that allowed?
Only if you have the "Franchise" package or have received written permission from World Halal (on an individual basis).
