What you get from joining CHEFIN

• Choose your hours – You’re free to accept or reject bookings at any time, so you can work when you want.
• Competitive pay – Our chefs’ earnings are 2x higher than hourly pay on average, plus you’ll be guaranteed payment – even if a client cancels last minute.

How CHEFIN works:

• Clients make a booking on CHEFIN’s platform. They pay in full, and the money is held in a trust account.
• The CHEFIN backend system evaluates client requirements and matches them to your profile. If there’s a match, you receive a booking request via text and email.
• You decide whether to accept the job. More accepted jobs can lead to more opportunities.
• Booking is allocated to your Chef Dashboard. Here, you can access details, fill in the menu design wizard, and communicate with the client.
• The client will approve your menu, and you’re ready to shop, prep, cook, serve, and clean.

When it’s all over, the client will submit a review, and you will upload all booking expenses. You get paid from the trust account, a safe and secure transaction for all involved.
