How hiring a personal chef at home works

You pick the menu, reserve on the site or in the app, and pay by Pix or card. The chef confirms within 24h, you adjust the details in chat, and they cook in your home.

Step by step

From choosing the menu to the table being set, in six steps.

1

Choose the experience

Filter by city, format and price. See the menu, the photos and what is included.

2

Reserve

Enter the date, number of people and your preferences. Pay by Pix or card.

3

The chef confirms

Within 24h. You pay when you reserve and, if the chef does not accept or something goes wrong, we refund you in full.

4

Adjust the details

In the booking chat you settle the menu, dietary needs, timing and address.

5

The day

The chef arrives, cooks in your kitchen and serves. You just host.

6

Review

Afterwards, say how it went. Your review shows on the chef profile and helps the next guest.

Ingredients, shopping and extras

Each chef defines their own package. All of it shows on the experience page before you reserve.

Ingredients

Some packages include the ingredients. When they do not, the chef sends a shopping list ahead of the day.

Shopping service

Rather skip the market? Chefs who offer shopping charge a fee and you reimburse the groceries against the receipt.

Cleanup and travel

Kitchen cleanup may be included or charged separately. Chefs from outside your area may charge travel per km.

Add-ons and waiter

Add the chef's optional extras, like dessert or more courses. For events, some packages need a waiter, charged separately.

Cancellation: each chef sets a cutoff in hours before the event. Before the cutoff cancellation is free; after it the refund is partial. Each experience page shows its cutoff.
