How it works
From application to your first event in four steps
Apply
Fill out a short application with your experience, cuisines, and a few photos. Takes about 5 minutes.
Get approved
Our team reviews your application, usually within 48 hours. We look for skill, passion, and professionalism.
Build your profile
Set up your public profile, bio, gallery, cuisines, pricing, and availability. This is your storefront.
Start cooking
Receive event briefs, send custom menu proposals, and get booked. You choose which events to accept.
Why go private?
Everything a restaurant job is not.
No more split shifts, line cooking, or someone else's menu. Private cheffing lets you do the work you trained for, on your own terms.
Set your own prices
You decide what you charge per person. No platform-imposed pricing.
Choose your events
Only accept events that fit your schedule, style, and interest.
Design your own menus
Every event is a custom menu. Total creative freedom.
Get paid reliably
Payments processed through the platform. Paid out 3 days after each event.
Build your reputation
Reviews, ratings, and a public profile that works for you.
What you can earn
Real numbers from real events
Chefs pay no commission, guests pay a 10% service fee on top of your price. Everything you quote is yours.

From our chefs
What it's like to cook with us
"I left a head chef position at a restaurant to go private, best decision I've made. I earn more, work fewer hours, and actually enjoy cooking again. The platform handles all the business side."
"I started doing private dining on the side while working part-time. Within six months, the private work had overtaken the restaurant income. I now do 4–5 events a week and take Wednesdays and Sundays off."
"The creative freedom is what I love most. Every event is a blank page, I design a menu for those guests, that occasion, that season. No restaurant gives you that."
