Terms of service
Last updated: September 24, 2026
1. Who we are
ChefMyParty (chefmyparty.pro) is a marketplace that connects private hosts with independent private chefs, who must hold the food-safety certification required where they cook. We are not a restaurant, caterer or food retailer. Chefs are independent contractors, not our employees.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 to create an account or book a chef. Chefs must hold a current food handler certificate for each state they work in, plus any state or local credential required for the service they provide.
3. Food safety and the law
Chefs follow the food handler, health department and cottage food rules that apply where your event takes place. Catered events with off-site preparation may require a licensed commercial kitchen or permit. Our state requirement pages are informational and may not reflect recent changes or local ordinances.
4. Allergy & dietary disclosure
Hosts must disclose all known guest allergies and dietary restrictions at booking. Chefs take reasonable precautions but cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment in a home kitchen. A chef may decline to prepare any dish they cannot make safely.
5. Bookings and payment
Prices shown include the chef's hourly or per-person rate, any selected add-ons and our platform fee. Online payment is not live yet. When you request a booking, the chef confirms it with you and you arrange payment directly with the chef until online payment opens. Tips are optional and paid entirely to the chef.
6. Cancellations
Cancel 72 or more hours before the event start for a full refund. Between 24 and 72 hours, 50% is refunded. Under 24 hours, no refund is issued, though one reschedule within 90 days is offered. If a chef cancels, hosts are refunded in full.
7. Conduct
Harassment, discrimination, unsafe kitchen conditions and requests to violate food-safety law result in immediate removal from the platform.
8. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ChefMyParty is not liable for injury, illness or property damage arising from an event, including reactions to allergens that were not disclosed.
9. Changes and contact
We may update these terms. Material changes are emailed to account holders before taking effect. Questions: info@roofusventures.com.
