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

How do I engage a Private Chef in the US?
Once a PACKAGE (dining style) is booked, CHEFIN’s advanced algorithm takes your preferences into account and matches them with the available Chefs in your area. You will be given a selection of Chefs to choose from, but during busy periods or last-minute bookings, a Chef will be assigned to you. Once a chef is selected, they will create a menu tailored to your unique requests. We also provide a few rounds of menu revisions based on your feedback.
What preparations are required for a Private Chef service in the US?
In truth, very little. Your private chef will only need your assistance with a few minor things. You’ll need to 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 may need to prepare tableware/glassware/cutlery and set the table if your event booking does not include wait staff. If you have arranged for waitstaff through us, the team can assist with table setting before the service.
