Three: Private Dinner (a multi-course meal cooked and served in your home), Event / Catering (celebrations, showers and milestone parties), and Cooking Class (a hands-on, in-home class for you and your guests).

Yes. Chefs must upload an ANSI-accredited food handler certificate such as ServSafe — plus their state's card where required (California Food Handler Card, Texas Food Handler Certificate, Washington Food Worker Card and more). Event chefs in some states must also hold a Food Protection Manager certification. Booking checks that a chef's credential on file is current for your event state.

Allergy and dietary disclosure is required in every booking. Your chef plans the menu around it, separates allergens during prep and labels the major allergens on printed menus. Home kitchens can contain allergens, so please list everything.

Chefs price either per hour or per person. You'll see the chef's rate, any add-ons and a 15% platform fee before you confirm. Tips are never required and always go 100% to the chef.

Per-person menus usually include groceries. Hourly chefs bill groceries at cost, or you can add grocery shopping & sourcing at checkout.

Free cancellation up to 72 hours before your event. Between 24 and 72 hours it's a 50% refund. Under 24 hours you can reschedule once within 90 days.

Chefs bring their knives and specialty tools. Add tableware & linens, service staff or a sous chef during checkout. Anything not selected is on the host.
