Part-Time Private Chef for Your Home
Regular chef support 2–3 days per week — meal planning, shopping, cooking, and cleanup — without the cost or commitment of a full-time placement.
The "Regular But Not Full-Time" Solution
Get reliable, restaurant-quality cooking at home without the cost of a full-time chef. Tell us about your household size, schedule, and dietary preferences, and we will match you with a vetted chef who fits your rhythm — usually within 24 hours.
This is the highest-LTV segment in the private chef market. Families who book a chef 2–3 times per week generate predictable, recurring revenue and build long-term relationships with one trusted cook.
Compare with weekly meal prep or occasional private chef services to find the right rhythm for your household.
Benefits of a Part-Time Chef
2–3 Days Per Week
A regular chef schedule that fits between weekly meal prep and full-time placement. Ideal for families who want fresh cooking without a live-in arrangement.
Same Chef, Familiar Taste
Build a relationship with one chef who learns your household's preferences, dietary needs, and routines.
Cooking + Meal Planning
The chef designs weekly menus, shops for ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, portions meals, and leaves the kitchen clean.
More Accessible Than Full-Time
