The fine print, in plain language
What exactly am I paying for?
Three items are shown separately: the chef’s service fee, groceries reimbursed at receipt cost, and the platform fee that supports marketplace operations, payments, vetting, and support.
Do you mark up groceries?
No. You approve an estimate before shopping and review the receipt after. Bring A Chef takes no commission on grocery reimbursement.
Where do tips go?
Tips are optional and pass through 100% to your chef. The platform takes nothing from tips.
Why do starting prices vary?
Location, chef, household or guest count, cadence, menu complexity, service style, and optional staff can change the service fee. Groceries vary with the approved menu and preferences.
What about cancellations?
The applicable cancellation window and any late-cancellation charge are shown before confirmation because the chef reserves time and begins planning ahead of a visit.
Is recurring service less expensive?
Chefs may price repeat service differently because planning becomes more efficient and a steady schedule has value. Your exact recurring price remains visible before confirmation.
