Wisdom Obeng Nyarko (WON), Manager of Menscook, has revealed that although the company currently operates as an all-male team, there are plans to include women in the future as part of its commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Speaking on The Career Trail on Joy Learning TV and Joy News, he explained that the company initially started with men, and their success in a female-dominated industry encouraged them to maintain that structure.
“We naturally started with men, and over time, we realized this gave us a unique position in a female-dominated market—so why change a winning team?” he said.
WON noted that part of Menscook’s mission is to challenge the societal stereotype that cooking is solely a woman’s responsibility.
“We cater for weddings a lot, and we wanted to send a message to grooms that cooking is not a woman’s duty alone. If we, as men, are cooking at your wedding, then when you marry, you too can cook at home. There is nothing wrong with men cooking,” he emphasized.
However, as the company continues to grow, he said they foresee the need to bring women on board—particularly for administrative and operations roles.
“As the company grows, we also need a special place where we will need women. We are also about inclusion. So in the future, we will have women,” he stated.
He clarified that while the core cooking team will remain male, women will be brought in to strengthen the administrative side of the business.
“We will have women joining the administrative and operations side of the business. It’s not going to be all men forever. But our chefs will be men,” he concluded.
