Here's what it looks like to join our chef network:

• We pair you with clients based on your skills/experience, availability, and proximity to the client.
  

• We train you on meal prepping, menu development and how to be the best personal chef you can be!

Our typical client:

• We ask our clients if they prefer their meals be prepared in their own kitchen, or prepared off-site & delivered. Most clients prefer delivery-style. This means you will be cooking from your own kitchen at home (communally shared kitchens are not a good fit).

• Have a current drivers license and reliable transportation.
  

• Great communication skills in maintaining consistent communication with clients about menus and scheduling.
  

How we pay:

• We pay our weekly meal prep chefs at a flat rate based on service charges and reimbursements. This is based on a rate of $30/hour your first year, then increases to $35/hour the following years. We pay our chefs on a weekly bases.
  

• Our chefs are 1099 independent contractors. While there is no guarantee of work, our chefs typically have as much work as they want.
  

To apply, please:
