This takes less than a minute. We just need a few key details, like proposed date, food style preferences, budget, etc.
A typical request might be a 2-3 course dinner for 8 next Saturday night, prefer Italian or Spanish and don't like fish. And with a budget of $60-$90 per person.
At the agreed time, your Private Chef comes to your home and prepares the meal in your kitchen. They bring all ingredients and any specialist cooking equipment you do not have
At the end of the meal, the chef cleans up and leaves you to relax after a great meal
We authorize your credit card 2 days before the meal, but only finalize payment and pay out the chef for you after the meal
You set a budget for your meal when making your request. Chefs then compete for your business with menus reflecting your budget and preferences
Chefs decide their own menus and prices, sending you all inclusive proposals that are easy to compare
As a guide, you could expect a Dinner for 8 to start from $640 ($80 per person), and Dinners for 2 typically start at $300 ($150 per person). Just like a restaurant meal, prices will vary depending on the type of food being prepared and the experience of the chef
Placing a meal request is free, with no commitment. If you do not like any of the chefs proposals, you can cancel the request
Dinner parties and nice dinners are much more fun enjoyed with friends ... and even better when you can share the cost
Just like a restaurant, you can easily split the bill for your Private Chef experience with Table at Home
After you have confirmed a Chef, simply give your friends the Meal ID, and then they can provide their credit card details for payment through the GroupPay page on our site
All GroupPay splits needs to be finalized 5 days before the meal date. The remaining balance for the booking will be billed to the original person who booked the meal.
The Private Chefs on Table at Home are all authentic independent chefs who love to personally share their talents with customers - not mass market caterers
This means that they will need to use your kitchen to prepare the meal, and expect to use your plates, cutlery etc. for serving the meal
After you have confirmed a chef, they will contact you to understand your kitchen setup and work out what (if any) additional kitchen equipment they will need to bring
We are a strict 'invite only' platform for chefs - our rigorous screening, interview and background check vetting process ensures you are only dealing with good quality chefs
User reviews let you hear from other customers what chefs are like and find the right chef for you
We manage all the booking logistics and payment through the platform so you don't spend hours going back and forth with multiple chefs on the phone, and the experience in the home is all about the food!
The process is seamless and simple so you can focus on enjoying your meal
