FAQ
What’s the difference between this and your meal delivery service?
Our personal chef meal delivery is food prepared off-site and dropped at your door. This private chef service is different: your chef shops, cooks and preps everything on-site, in your own kitchen, every week.
Is this the same as a meal-kit subscription?
No. A meal-kit box still leaves the cooking to you β pre-measured ingredients and a recipe card. With CHEFIN, a private chef does the shopping, the cooking and the cleanup. You just eat.
Are CHEFIN’s private chefs vetted?
Yes. Every chef on the CHEFIN roster carries more than 13 years’ professional experience and goes through ID, insurance and food-safety verification before they’re matched to a household.
What time does the chef arrive, and what happens during the visit?
Your chef typically arrives about 1.5 hours before your meal time to shop and prep, cooks everything fresh in your kitchen, plates the meal you’ll eat that day, and cleans up before leaving β with the rest of your week’s meals left either refrigerated and ready to reheat, or frozen and ready to cook.
Can I choose a specific chef?
We match you with a private chef in your area once your booking is confirmed. You may get a choice of chef, though during busy periods you may be assigned the best available match.
How does booking work?
After you book, you’ll get a confirmation email and a short form for your schedule, household and preferences. We pair you with a chef once your first visit is close, and they build your menu with you to review before the week begins.
What do I need to prepare at home?
Just clear one or two fridge shelves and a bit of counter space, and show your chef around the kitchen, dining area and where your tableware lives. Everything else β shopping, cooking and cleanup β is handled for you.
Can my chef shop for organic or specific ingredients?
Yes. Most chefs buy from local, boutique shops and trusted growers, and can prioritise organic or specific sourcing on request β groceries are billed separately at cost.

Arrival & grocery shopping, chosen for your household β Prep begins in your kitchen β Today’s meal cooked and shared together β Kitchen cleaned, the week’s meals refrigerated or frozen β Breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack, ready Monday to Friday β Next week, a new menu built around you
Perfect For
- Busy households who want restaurant-quality meals without the shopping, cooking or cleanup
- Dual-income families who want one proper sit-down meal together each week, without anyone cooking it
- Parents of young kids short on weeknight time who still want real, home-cooked breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks
- Anyone working toward dietary goals who’d rather not cook it themselves
- Households that want the same private chef, cooking in their home, every single week
Private Chef Service, Nationwide
CHEFIN’s private chefs cook on-site across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin, plus regional markets including the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle and Geelong. Wherever you’re searching for a private chef service or a weekly personal chef, your chef comes to you, cooks in your kitchen, and builds every week’s menu around your household.
Hired Once, or Hired Every Week
Most people picture hiring a private chef for a single dinner party. This is the same chef quality, booked differently: your private chef returns to your kitchen on the same day each week, so the cost of having someone genuinely cook for your family stops being a once-a-year treat and becomes part of how your week runs.
Not a Meal Kit, Not a Delivery Box
A meal-kit subscription still hands you the knife β pre-measured ingredients and a recipe card, and you’re cooking from scratch every night. A delivery box is made in someone else’s kitchen, often shipped frozen. A weekly private chef is different again: your own chef shops and cooks in your own kitchen, serves one meal fresh while they’re there, and leaves the rest of the week’s breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks refrigerated or frozen, ready for you to reheat or cook β real chef-made food, without you ever having to make it from scratch.
Built Around Your Household
Every menu is designed around what your household actually eats β gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, keto, or simply your family’s favourites. Tell your chef your likes, dislikes and dietary goals once, and they’ll keep building weeks around them.
A New Chef’s Kitchen, Every Week You Choose
You can keep the same private chef every week, or try a different chef for variety β if it’s a different chef, you’re getting their own specialty and their own way of cooking, like a new kitchen in your home each time, without ever leaving it.
