What is included in a Private Chef service in the US?
Once you confirm your booking, our algorithm will match you with the most suitable private chef, who will craft a menu just for you. On the day of the event, your private chef will arrive 1.5 hours early with fresh ingredients to start preparing your dishes. Waitstaff are arranged separately. The team handles all food and beverage needs (as specified). After your event, they will clean up the kitchen and event area, leaving you to enjoy the success of a splendid occasion. Additional services like drinks, tableware, and glassware can be organized as extras.

If your assigned chef has to cancel, we can quickly arrange a replacement, even at the last minute. That’s the advantage of our platform—peace of mind for your special occasions.
How do I engage a Private Chef in the US?
Once a PACKAGE (dining style) is booked, CHEFIN’s advanced algorithm considers your preferences and matches them with available Chefs in your area. You’ll receive a selection of Chefs to choose from, but during busy periods or last-minute bookings, a Chef will be assigned to you. Once selected, the chef will create a menu tailored to your unique requests, with a few rounds of menu revisions based on your feedback.
What preparations are required for a Private Chef service in the US?
Not much! Your private chef will only need a little help from you. Clear some space in your fridge (1-2 shelves), clean your kitchen counter, and show the Chef the kitchen and dining areas. Depending on your booking, you might need to prepare tableware, glassware, and cutlery, and set the table if your event doesn’t include waitstaff. If you’ve arranged for waitstaff through us, the team can assist with table setting before the service.
