Pampered Chef was recently honored by the U.S. Direct Selling Association (DSA) at the DSA Engage Annual Meeting in Boca Raton, FL with the Technology and Innovation Award for its new digital platform, Table. Table is a virtual party platform that enables Pampered Chef consultants to host customized virtual cooking parties that deliver a highly visual, immersive experience with content designed to improve a consumer’s mealtime journey. The interactive platform is a first for the industry, combining a virtual kitchen experience, social connection, live video engagement and a customized content feed for an innovative, first-class virtual experience designed exclusively for Pampered Chef consultants and customers.

“During the pandemic, our consultants were increasingly using a variety of third party social platforms and digital tools to engage their audiences virtually, but they wanted their own place to party; a place designed to meet the specific needs of their businesses and their customers,” said Shiv Dutt, Vice President of Experience Innovation for Pampered Chef. “We’re proud to say that Table offers the modern digital version of the cooking party experience created by Pampered Chef founder Doris Christopher, that provides meaningful mealtime solutions for customers.”

Table provides Pampered Chef consultants with the resources to offer virtual, interactive experiences with full integration with the company’s suite of robust content tools for a wholly owned, seamless, connected brand experience.

“Pampered Chef is a pioneer and a leader in the direct sales industry, and we are pleased to celebrate their innovation and dedication to enhancing communities with entrepreneurial opportunities and providing renowned products and services throughout the world,” shared Joseph N. Mariano, president of the U.S. Direct Selling Association (DSA).
