We are looking for anyone who can cook! We take people part or full-time with all levels of culinary experience! You can be a mom or dad or just likes to cook for fun or someone who works in a restaurant and who want to create your own schedule. Description: Our goal is to make private chefs accessible to all consumers by offering a service where chefs come to clients’ homes to prepare meals. This model allows individuals to enjoy the benefits of home-cooked meals, saving time and offering a convenient alternative to traditional meal delivery (commensurate with DoorDash or Seamless). Instead of ordering from a restaurant, customers can have multiple meals prepared at once in their own kitchens, ensuring quality, variety, and a cost-effective solution. By creating a platform that connects consumers with skilled chefs, we aim to build a unique "creator economy" where chefs can have additional part-time and flexible employment while using their culinary skills.
