Choose your chef. Reserve your evening. We handle everything else.
The Concept
UpChef is a global private-chef marketplace where customers discover, message and book chefs, with professional tools that help chefs manage menus, availability, bookings and customer communication — while UpChef charges chefs 0% commission.
UpChef connects you with professional private chefs who come to your home — they cook in your kitchen, set your table, and leave it spotless.
Whether you're hosting ten guests or a hundred, whether you want a precision tasting menu or a warm family table — we find the right chef for your moment.
Every occasion
Your table. Your chef. A tasting menu built for you alone.
The whole family at one table — without the kitchen chaos.
The most important occasion of the year — served at the level it deserves.
A private dinner that closes the deal better than any restaurant.
Mark the milestone with something they will always remember.
A personal chef, weekly or daily — your kitchen, your standards.
How UpChef works
No phone calls, no emails, no waiting days for a reply. Everything happens inside the app — live chat, instant notifications, and real offers from verified chefs near you. Pick whichever way suits you.
Share the details that matter — date, number of guests, cuisine, budget, location, and any dietary needs. It takes about a minute, and there is no obligation to book.
The moment you post, verified chefs around you receive a live notification. They respond with personalised menus and quotes to compare.
Review offers side by side, chat with chefs to fine-tune the menu, then book the one that is right for you securely.
Browse verified chefs near you by cuisine, occasion, and guest count. See menus, prices, reviews, and signature dishes.
Message the chef directly in the app. Ask questions, tailor courses, and receive custom offers in the chat.
Choose a set menu or accept the chef’s custom offer. Payment is handled securely through the booking flow.
It all happens inside the app — live chat, instant notifications, and secure payment. Book your private chef in less time than a restaurant reservation takes.

FAQ
Everything you need to know about booking a private chef with UpChef.
It depends on the chef, the menu, and the number of guests — you always see the full price before you book. Most private dinners are priced per person, with no hidden fees, and you can filter chefs by budget.
Your chef plans the menu with you, shops for fresh ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course, and cleans up before they leave. You provide the space — they bring the experience.
In most cases the chef sources fresh ingredients and brings their own specialist tools, building it into the price. You can confirm exactly what's included with each chef in chat before booking.
Yes. Every chef is vetted before they can take bookings, and all reviews come from real, completed events — so the ratings you see are genuine.
Payment options depend on the market and booking. Review the total, payment method and cancellation terms before paying. Contact UpChef support if anything is unclear.
If a chef cancels, you get a full refund automatically and we help you find another chef. If you need to cancel, you're fully refunded up to 7 days before your event.
Birthdays, dinner parties, anniversaries, weddings, corporate events, family gatherings, BBQs, holidays, and weekly meal prep. If you're hosting it, there's a chef for it.
