Indonesian migrant workers often return with valuable work experience and savings, yet many have limited opportunities to turn these assets into sustainable businesses. This community service program addressed gaps in entrepreneurial readiness, culinary business planning, and food safety awareness among 26 Indonesian migrant workers in Singapore. The program was delivered with D’Gayatri International Pte. Ltd. through short lectures, guided discussion, case examples, hands-on culinary demonstration, cost and pricing exercises, digital marketing practice, and mentoring. Participant learning was assessed using a 10-item pre-test and post-test, while satisfaction was measured through a five-item questionnaire. The mean proportion of correct responses increased from 38.08% to 76.54%. Before training, no participant was in the high-score category; afterward, 20 participants (77%) reached that category. Overall satisfaction averaged 4.42 out of 5 (88.46%). The clearest gains concerned entrepreneurial competencies, corporate mindset, business systems, marketing, and branding. One item on competitor and consumer analysis declined, indicating a need for clearer question wording and stronger market-research practice. The program shows that practical, context-sensitive culinary entrepreneurship training can strengthen migrant workers’ confidence and post-migration business preparedness.
