Join a Fast-Growing FoodTech Startup in Castellón de la Plana

Founded in 2012, Take a Chef was born from the belief that exceptional culinary experiences should be accessible beyond traditional restaurant settings. We envisioned a world where top-tier chefs could bring their talents directly to the dining tables of discerning individuals and families. Combining cutting-edge technology with a deep passion for food and hospitality, we’ve become the leading global platform for high-quality private chef services. Last year, we served over 500,000 clients in 100+ countries, working with a network of 60,000+ private chefs and partnering with renowned luxury travel brands like Airbnb, Onefinestay, Le Collectionist, and more.
