- After payment, CHEFIN will email you a booking confirmation and a calendar invitation. This will include a form to collect your specific needs/requirements.
- Once you’ve completed the form and returned it to us, we will pair you with a chef when your booking is less than 3 weeks away, taking into account your needs and preferences.
- Your assigned chef will create a unique menu tailored to your specifications, dietary requirements, and tastes.
- You will have the opportunity to review the menu, provide feedback, and make any adjustments to the menu as needed.
FAQ
What’s the menu I will get?
Your chef builds a custom menu for your household after booking, matched to your preferences and dietary needs — backed by CHEFIN’s satisfaction guarantee.
Can I choose a specific chef?
We match you with a private chef in your area once your booking is confirmed. You may get a choice of chef, though during busy periods you may be assigned the best available match.
How does booking work?
After you book, you’ll get a confirmation email and a short form for your schedule, household and preferences. We pair you with a chef once your first visit is close, and they build your menu with you to review before the week begins.
What do I need to prepare at home?
Just clear one or two fridge shelves and a bit of counter space, and show your chef around the kitchen, dining area and where your tableware lives. Everything else — shopping, cooking and cleanup — is handled for you.
Can my chef shop for organic or specific ingredients?
Yes. Most chefs buy from local, boutique shops and trusted suppliers, and can prioritize organic or specific sourcing on request — groceries are billed separately at cost.
Can I ask for specific extras, like fresh fruit?
Of course. Your chef handpicks every ingredient to your brief, and is happy to add extras — fresh fruit, a particular snack, a specific cut of meat — just let them know.
What time does the chef arrive, and what happens during the visit?
Your chef typically arrives about 1.5 hours before your meal time to shop and prep, cooks everything fresh in your kitchen, plates the meal you’ll eat that day, and cleans up before leaving — with the rest of your week’s meals left either refrigerated and ready to reheat, or frozen and ready to cook.
Is this the same as your meal delivery service?
Not quite. This plan brings a private chef into your home once a week to shop, cook and prep everything on-site. If you’d rather have meals prepared off-site and delivered chilled, ready to reheat, our personal chef meal delivery service is built for that instead.
Experience Flow
Arrival & grocery shopping, handpicked to your brief → Prep begins in your kitchen → Today’s meal cooked and shared together — a weekly family get-together → Kitchen cleaned, the week’s meals refrigerated or frozen → Breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack, ready Monday to Friday → Next week, a new menu built around you
Perfect For
- Busy households who want restaurant-quality meals without the shopping, cooking or cleanup
- Families who want one proper sit-down meal together each week, without anyone cooking it
- Parents short on weeknight time who still want real, home-cooked meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
- Anyone working toward dietary goals — high-protein, low-carb, gluten-free and more — who’d rather not cook it themselves
- Households that want the same or different chef, cooking in their home, every single week
Personal Chef Service Near You
CHEFIN’s private chefs cook in homes across every metro area we serve — so whether you’ve been searching for a personal chef service near you or a weekly private chef for your household, this is it. Your chef comes to you, cooks in your kitchen, and builds every menu around your household’s preferences, wherever you are in our service area.
Like Bringing a Different Restaurant Home Each Week
You can keep the same chef every week, or choose a different one each time. If it’s a different chef, it’s like bringing a new restaurant into your home — every CHEFIN chef specializes in their own cuisine, from Italian to Japanese to Mexican, so a new chef means a new menu and a new set of flavors, all without leaving your kitchen.
In-Home Cooking, Not Drop-Off Meals
Your private chef cooks in your own kitchen, not off-site. They handle all the grocery shopping, cook breakfast, lunch, dinner and a daily snack for your household Monday to Friday, and serve you one fresh meal together as a family while they’re there — then prep the rest of the week before cleaning up and heading out. If you’d rather have meals delivered instead of a chef cooking in your home, our personal chef meal delivery is built for that.
Why a Weekly Private Chef, Not a Meal Kit
A meal kit hands you pre-measured ingredients and a recipe card — you’re still the one cooking. A weekly private chef is different: your chef does the shopping, the cooking and the cleanup, so your only job is eating. It’s the difference between home-cooked and home-made.
Built Around Your Household
Every menu is designed around what your household actually eats — high-protein, low-carb, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, or simply your family’s favorites. Tell your chef your likes, dislikes and dietary goals once, and they’ll keep building weeks around them.
