Pricing
Every UpChef chef sets their own prices, so you book at the chef's real rate — no platform markup. These are the typical ranges Berliners pay per person.
| Experience | Typical price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Dinner party — 3 courses | €50–€80 pp | Menu planning, shopping, cooking in your kitchen, plated service, cleanup |
| Premium dining — 4–5 courses | €85–€140 pp | Seasonal menu built around you, wine-pairing advice, refined plating |
| Tasting menu — 6+ courses | €150–€250+ pp | Fine-dining at home by chefs from Berlin's top kitchens |
| Canapés & standing events | €35–€60 pp | Passed canapés or buffet stations for parties of 15–100+ |
| Weekly meal prep | €200–€350 / visit | A week of fridge-ready meals for a household, cooked in one visit |
Ingredients are usually included in the quoted price — your chef confirms before you book. Most chefs set a minimum spend for groups under 6. UpChef adds a 7% service fee at checkout; the chef keeps 100% of their price.

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's no obligation to book.
The moment you post, verified chefs around you receive a live notification on their phone. They respond fast — often within minutes — sending you personalised menus and quotes to compare.
Review the offers side by side, chat with the chefs you like to fine-tune the menu, then book the one that's right for you — securely, in a couple of taps.
Browse verified chefs near you by cuisine, occasion, and guest count. See full menus with prices, real reviews from past events, and each chef's signature dishes.
Message the chef directly in the app — no emails, no phone tag. Ask questions, tailor the courses, and get instant replies. The chef can send you a custom offer right in the chat.
Choose a set menu and book in a couple of taps, or accept the chef's custom offer. Your payment is held securely until after the event, so you're always protected.
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.
Why a private chef
Picture an evening with no crowded reservation, no drive across town, and no surprise bill at the end. You sit at your own table, in your own home, while a professional chef prepares a meal built around your taste and your occasion.
Book a private chef for an intimate dinner for two, a feast for forty, or a week of healthy meal prep. You choose the menu, the budget, and the mood — we bring the talent to your door.
And because your chef cooks, serves, and cleans up, the only thing you're left with is a memory your guests won't stop talking about.
Restaurant-quality food at home
Menus tailored to your event
Transparent prices, no surprises
The host finally gets to relax
Built on trust
Welcoming someone into your home takes trust. That's why UpChef is built around verification, protection, and transparency at every step — from the first message to the last plate.
Every chef is reviewed before they can take a single booking, and every rating you read comes from a real, completed event — never anonymous, never invented.
Pay securely in the app and your payment is held safely until after your event. If something isn't right, you're covered — the chef is only paid once everything goes to plan.
Plans change. If a chef cancels, we help you find another or refund you in full. If you cancel, you get a complete refund up to seven days before your event.
UpChef was built by people who have worked the kitchen. We take 0% commission from chefs, so the person who cooked your food is paid fairly — and that care lands straight on your plate.
Questions before, during, or after your event? A real support team is one message away in the app, ready to make sure your evening goes exactly the way you imagined it.
From Riyadh to London to São Paulo, UpChef works in your country, your currency, and your language — with chefs who understand both local tradition and global cuisine.
Real experiences
The live chat made it so easy — I described what I wanted and had three menus to choose from within the hour. No back-and-forth emails, no stress.
Hosted a big family lunch and didn't lift a finger. The kids had their own menu, my mother actually sat down to eat for once, and the kitchen was spotless after.
We threw a surprise dinner for my partner and didn't want the stress of cooking for ten. The chef arrived, set up quietly, and produced a four-course menu that genuinely silenced the table. Worth every euro.
