How it works

Hiring a private chef should be as simple as booking a table — except the table is already yours.

  1. 01

    Send a request

    Date, address, guest count, budget per person and any allergies or dietary needs.

  2. 02

    Get menus back

    Available chefs in your area reply with a proposed menu and a fixed price per guest.

  3. 03

    Confirm and pay securely

    Payment is held by ichef. Groceries are either included or billed at cost — always stated upfront.

  4. 04

    Dinner at yours

    The chef arrives 1–2 hours early, cooks, serves each course, and cleans the kitchen before leaving.
