History
The first Eighteen Chefs outlet was opened in 2007, at Eastpoint Mall, by the ex-offender and former drug addict Benny Se Teo.

While on an internship with Jamie Oliver, he heard about the Fifteen Foundation. He started Eighteen Chefs along similar lines, and is now the director of the company in 2015.

In 2009, three outlets located at Yishun, Tiong Bahru and Buona Vista were closed due to financial losses.
