Full Time Private Chef Dubai.
Come home to your kind of food.

Yes. Your initial enquiry and suitability discussion have no payment or booking commitment. We review your household, budget and preferred start date, then agree a realistic brief before you decide whether to activate the paid search.

Start with your Dubai area, household size, cooking schedule, preferred start, monthly budget and living arrangement. You can ask us to help you decide. We discuss cuisines, allergies, meal times, shopping and household expectations during the personal brief, before matching and any cooking trial.

No. AED 15,000/month is the starting fee for a dedicated full-time Managed Household arrangement, with the chef role, days, hours and responsibilities agreed in your proposal. Daily, recurring-visit and short-stay bookings retain their separate published visit rates. A full-day visit and a full-time household role are different arrangements.

A managed household chef relationship in Dubai. We learn your requirements, coordinate a personal chef search, help with interviews and a paid trial, support onboarding and stay involved through the monthly service. Your chef handles the agreed cooking responsibilities; myCHEF remains your contact for feedback, support and rematching.

Managed Household Chef services start from AED 15,000/month. Premium arrangements are approximately AED 24,000–30,000; Executive / Estate roles are individually quoted. These are indicative client service fees including myCHEF management, before 5% VAT. AED 950 Match Activation, paid trials, groceries and agreed extras are separate. Your written proposal confirms the complete cost.

The agreed personal search, initial screening, availability checks, curated introductions, interview coordination and refinement of the search where needed. It is separate from monthly management and any paid cooking trial. We first review your brief and budget and accept a search only when we believe it is realistic. The fee is before 5% VAT; the activation terms are provided before payment.

Allow time before your preferred start date. The first matching stage typically takes 3–5 working days after your brief is approved and the search is activated. This is a target for initial matching, not a guaranteed chef start date. Specialist requirements, interviews, trials and a chef’s notice period may take longer.

Yes. Living arrangements and culinary experience are separate choices. A live-in role requires suitable accommodation; a live-out role needs a workable travel and arrival schedule. Working hours, days off, meals and responsibilities are agreed in either arrangement.

The Learning Month gives the chef time to understand portions, seasoning, meal times, family favourites and kitchen routines. We plan early check-ins and a first-month review, record useful feedback with your permission and help refine the service.

You may request rematching whenever something is not working. During an active Managed Household agreement, continued matching for substantially the same role does not require another activation fee. We review your feedback, update the brief and coordinate suitable introductions. New chef costs may differ, paid trials remain chargeable and temporary cover or a materially changed role may cost extra. Timing depends on suitable availability.

We discuss continuity in your service agreement. Planned absence may be addressed with a relief chef, advance meal preparation or an adjusted schedule. Unexpected absence depends on available relief capacity. Temporary cover may cost extra, and an immediate replacement is not guaranteed.

We retain useful household information with your permission and share relevant details with the people supporting your service. You can ask us to correct it. During a chef change, only approved information needed for the handover is passed on. See our privacy policy or discuss specific confidentiality requirements with your myCHEF contact.

Tell us if you would enjoy learning with your chef or recording a meaningful family recipe. We confirm teaching capability, permission and the extra time or scope required as part of your arrangement. These are optional services.

Explore part-time chef visits, weekly meal preparation or short-term chef bookings. These are priced separately from Managed Household and may be a better fit for a smaller schedule or budget.
