Chef Tyler and his other chefs make food for all the students and teachers of New Way, from Lower School all the way up to High School. They work from Urban Phoenix Catering, which is part of a non-profit organization called Urban Phoenix, whose plan is to promote urbanism and create a healthier, more sustainable environment.

They cater for any occasion, and can create a one-of-a-kind menu with lots of tasty food for people to eat. New Way Academy accounts for the food made by Urban Phoenix as part of their annual budget, and they have a contract between New Way which allows the school to pay them for the meals on a monthly basis. The Urban Phoenix team manages all the logistics and food through a food supplier, where in which they submit an order request, and it gets delivered to New Way.

The school pays the Urban Phoenix team on a monthly basis for the total number of meals they prepare for students and staff. There are tons of chefs at New Way, but only 2 mainly work with Chef Tyler; Chef Raphael and Chef Ashley. The chefs are paid by Urban Phoenix, not by New Way. The menus for the school lunch are made monthly by Chef Steven. Chef Tyler mainly learned cooking from other chefs he has worked with, and from himself from things like cookbooks or cooking shows.

Chef Tyler got this job at Urban Phoenix as a way to suit his lifestyle with his family. Chef Tyler and the other chefs from Urban Phoenix started working here at New Way during the 2022-2023 school year, meaning they’ve worked here for 3 years. Chef Tyler has worked for Urban Phoenix since 2021. All the chefs have their own jobs. Chef Letti does the dishwashing and small prep work, Chef Ashley does the salad bar, and Chef Tyler does the main courses. All the food Urban Phoenix needs and uses is supplied by Shamrock. Urban Phoenix has been introduced to New Way by the parent of a New Way student after a big event that was hosted by them.
