TORONTO & BOCA RATON, Fla. - ColoradoDesk -- In the midst of a seismic shift in the food services industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a newly launched live video network provides a simple way for food and beverage industry professionals to earn money through connecting with audiences of food lovers.

FoodiezLive, powered by ONVIVA Broadcasting Corporation (www.onviva.live), is a live video network that allows chefs, cooks, restaurateurs, bartenders, mixologists, sommeliers, foodies and cooking schools to price, schedule, promote and deliver live broadcasts, webinars and video-on-demand to audiences of any size.

"COVID-19 forced me to look for new ways to earn income, since my work in the food services business has been greatly reduced," says Andrew Carter co-founder Chefs Night At Home. "FoodiezLive gives me a direct way to monetize my culinary expertise."

By joining the network, content creators with culinary talents, skills and expertise can get paid directly for their live video content and begin building their following, opening new revenue streams from the comfort of their own home or professional kitchen.

There are no monthly fees to join FoodiezLive and no minimum payouts, eliminating barriers to entry for emerging culinary stars ready to make money by sharing their expertise with the world.

According to ONVIVA Broadcasting Corporation founder and CEO Michael O'Farrell, "Our goal for FoodiezLive is to help chefs, cooks, bartenders, mixologists and cooking schools earn more money from their skills at a time when many food industry professionals have been forced to explore new ways to earn income during the pandemic."

With FoodiezLive, culinary content creators can run live demos, host Q + A sessions and private classes, show cooking or beverage hacks and tips, offer guidance to up-and-coming culinary experts, and much more. In fact, many people in the restaurant industry have been doing this already through social media platforms but haven't found a way to charge for their service. FoodiezLive allows them to set their price then sell live broadcast events in HD all from one platform. They can also host interactive sessions with their followers and sell training videos or books using the platform's built-in billing system.
