The Chaine today unites both professional caterers and amateur gastronomes who enjoy good food in general and that cooked on the turning spit and silver grill in particular. There are now over 30,000 members in 123 countries, organised into National and Regional Bailliages.

The Chaine is an International Organisation with its Headquarters  based in Paris. This is where the overall co-ordination of the Chaine’s organisation in terms of administration and membership services is conducted.

Each of the member countries has its own National Administration, which co-ordinates activities within that country and is responsible for the overall development of the Chaine nationally. The National Administration also organises the annual Chapitre, which is the key opportunity for all members of the Chaine to meet together, and for newly appointed members to be intronised and receive their formal regalia.

The larger countries are divided into Regional Bailliages, and it is at this level that most events are organised.
