ALEXANDRA, VA — Snapchef, a leader in hospitality and foodservice staffing, is excited to announce the opening of its newest office in Alexandra, Virginia.

Ivan Navas has been appointed as the Franchise Owner for Snapchef in Alexandria, VA. With extensive experience in the hospitality industry, Ivan has been a key figure in the community for many years. His deep understanding of culinary industry processes inspired him to seize the opportunity to open a Snapchef franchise, where he aims to bring exceptional staffing solutions to the DC area.
“I wanted to go into business for myself but knew the challenges without being a Sodexo or Compass Group-approved vendor, which are nearly impossible to obtain in the DMV market. This led me to explore franchises, and I was immediately drawn to the SnapChef brand and story,” said Ivan Navas, Managing Partner. “My experience in opening a branch with top 3 national sales performance, combined with my love for team and relationship building, has prepared me well for this venture. I aim to make this the top hospitality staffing agency in the DMV area. The best part of our work is seeing new employees succeed and customers satisfied, and our candidate training truly sets us apart from the competition.”
