Build a book of regular households—not a calendar of one-off gigs.
Bring A Chef is designed to coordinate matching, household preferences, proposals, payments, and repeat service so you can focus on the craft and the relationship.
One household profile. Clear allergy rules. A menu history that makes the next visit easier to prepare.
Five stages, with a human decision at the gate
Careful activation protects households and the standing of every approved chef.
- 01
Present your work
Share experience, specialties, service area, sample menus, and a portfolio that reflects how you cook.
- 02
Complete identity and screening steps
Consent, provider handoff, and status remain visible. Information requiring review is handled by people—not automatic rejection copy.
- 03
Submit required credentials
Upload food safety documentation where policy or local rules require it; expiration status is tracked.
- 04
Set availability and payouts
Define travel radius and schedule, then complete secure provider-hosted payout onboarding.
- 05
Receive trust-team approval
Your profile becomes discoverable and bookable only after every required gate passes and an authorized reviewer approves it.
Less administration between you and your regulars.
- Household briefs and locked dietary rules
- Comparable proposal and revision workflows
- Scheduling and recurring visit management
- Payment, reimbursement, tip, and payout records
- Verified reviews, appeals, and support history
Trust carries both ways.
- Accurate experience, credentials, and service information
- Food-safe practice and respectful conduct in every home
- Explicit acknowledgment of locked allergy rules
- Clear platform communication and reliable status updates
- No off-platform solicitation through marketplace content
Know the model before you apply
What kind of work is the marketplace focused on?
Recurring weekly and twice-weekly household service is the core. Chefs may also receive private-dinner, gathering, tasting, pantry-reset, and lifestyle meal-prep requests when those services fit their profile.
What can I earn?
Chefs set service fees within marketplace rules. Earnings depend on location, pricing, availability, accepted work, repeat clients, expenses, and applicable platform fees. Any fee schedule is shown during application before activation.
Do I control my schedule?
You set availability, service area, travel radius, and services offered, and may accept or decline requests. Reliability signals may affect marketplace ranking under documented, reviewable rules.
How are tips and groceries handled?
Tips pass through 100% to the chef. Approved groceries are reimbursed separately from the service fee at documented receipt cost; the platform does not take a grocery commission.
What if a review is unfair?
Written reviews are moderated before publication. Eligible ratings can be appealed, and moderation or exclusion decisions require reason codes and an audit trail.
Can I show my portfolio?
Approved portfolio and social links may be displayed after verification or review. Public bios and galleries cannot include direct payment details or off-platform booking instructions.
