WHY BRING A CHEFIN?

Sometimes you want the restaurant experience but not the restaurant. You want the fresh, gourmet food and impeccable presentation, but not the crowds. You want multi-course meals from the comfort of your couch, or impressive menus at your party.

That’s where our private chefs come in. At CHEFIN, our vision is to help people reconnect over the love of food, and we’re doing that by reintroducing the chef as part of the experience. You don’t just get good food when you bring a CHEFIN, you get an entire experience.

Work with your personal chef to design a menu, learn about obscure ingredients and techniques used in the cooking, and watch your chef as they prepare elaborate meals and presentations. Why settle for a platter of food when you could have your own private chef?

CHEFIN private chef platform

We’ve harnessed the power of technology to create a private catering platform that helps foster connections between people and enrich the experience of communal dining. 

The CHEFIN platform offers a unique marketplace for catering at home, with clear products, transparent pricing, and an easy online booking system with secure payment options. We strive for smiles everyday by closely monitoring each transaction that comes through our platform, creating a bespoke experience that’s completely individualised. It’s never been easier to share the love of food with people who matter. 

Every chef who works under the CHEFIN brand is carefully screened, interviewed, and – as we call it – audited. This ensures that our team aligns with our mission, vision, and purpose, and shares the same love of food and heartwarming social connections that we do. Through our screening process, we’ve managed to create a golden community of like-minded individuals that have a people-first approach to food and dining. 

Our high standards also extend to our supplier partnerships. Where we can, our team tries to taste every product that goes on consumers plates, ensuring unmatched quality and premium flavours. When it comes to produce and ingredients, we select the cream of the crop and bring it fresh to your plate.

Reinventing the hospitality industry

We’re reimagining the hospitality industry by bringing restaurant-quality food straight to consumers’ dining tables at home, for private catering with more depth and character than ever. Our team works tirelessly around the clock to source the best produce and scout talented chefs to satisfy our clients’ cravings and taste buds. 

And people are loving it! You can see just how much by reading some of our testimonials below. There are plenty more positive reviews on our website, but to put it simply: what we’re doing is making clients happy. And that makes the CHEFIN team happy. 

We are curating unique, theatrical-style dining experiences that put an original spin on social dinners. And we’ve also reinvented catering at home by making what was once only available for the rich and famous – private chefs – more accessible for everyday consumers.
