Book a Chef. Enjoy Restaurant-Quality Meals at Home.

Anyone who loves to cook: home cooks with no formal experience (Home Cook plan, $14.99/month or $149/year) and trained or professional cooks (Pro plan, $29.99/month or $299/year). Every cook needs a real profile photo and a police check.

A culinary diploma or certificate, a signed professional reference letter, and at least one reference with a phone number we can call. We review everything before adding the PRO badge.

No. Customers only need their name, email and city to create a profile.

Each cook sets their own price for your booking. You pay the cook's price plus an 8% service fee. Cheffr keeps a 10% commission from the cook's price. For example, for a $100 booking you pay $108 and the cook receives $90.

No. Customers sign up free and only pay when they book a cook. Only cooks have a monthly or yearly plan.

Every cook gets a personal referral link on their account page. When a new cook signs up with your link and pays their first plan, they get 10% off that first payment and you get 10% off your next payment.

Cooks move up from Starter to Rising Star (4.5★, 10+ reviews) to Top Cook (4.8★, 25+ reviews) based on client reviews. Top Cooks get 15% off their next yearly subscription.

Anyone who is 18 years of age or older. You must confirm your age when you create an account, as a customer or as a cook.

No. Cheffr is a platform that connects customers with independent cooks. Cooks are not Cheffr employees, and Cheffr is not responsible for food allergies or reactions, injuries or illnesses, any damage or loss in your kitchen or home, theft, or anything else that happens during a service. See our Terms of Service.

You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your booking and get a full refund. Cancellations less than 24 hours before, or no-shows, are not refunded. If a cook cancels, you get a full refund. See our cancellation and refund policy.

Yes. Both customers and cooks are expected to maintain a respectful and safe environment. Any harassment, discrimination or inappropriate behaviour may lead to removal from the platform. Read our code of conduct.

Once the cook accepts your request and confirms the price, you pay securely by card in My bookings. Cheffr then sends the cook their price minus the 10% Cheffr commission. Gift cards can be used too. No invoices needed.

Yes. When the cook taps "I'm on my way", you can see their location on a map in My bookings until they arrive. When they tap "I've arrived", you are notified right away.

If the customer cancels less than 24 hours before, or isn't available when the cook arrives, the cook is still paid. If the cook cancels or doesn't show up, the customer gets a full refund and the cook gets a strike. 3 strikes can lead to removal. Cooks check in with "I've arrived" in the app, which helps settle disputes.

No. If you met through Cheffr, bookings between you must go through Cheffr for 12 months. Cooks who take bookings off the platform owe Cheffr the fees it would have earned and may be removed.

The cooks do. Cheffr does not control cooks: each cook chooses their own price, availability, menus and specialties, and decides which bookings to accept.

Yes. Every approved cook across Canada gets their first month free on the monthly plan. A card is needed to start, and you can cancel anytime before the free month ends without being charged.

In the customer's kitchen. The customer pays for groceries, or the cook shops and adds the receipt to the booking.
