Job description

The Job (If You Want to Call It That)

This isn’t a kitchen job.

This is your private chef business - powered by our platform.

You’ll cook for:

• Sometimes it’s 2 guests.
• Sometimes it’s 20.

But every event is the same mission:

Show up. Cook something unforgettable. Leave the kitchen spotless.

What You Control

This is the part chefs love.

• You create your menus
• You choose when you work
• You accept the bookings you want

We bring the customers, handle the billing, and manage the platform.

What We’re Looking For

Not influencers.

You should have:

• Strong culinary skills (menu creation, cooking, plating)
• Experience sourcing quality ingredients
• Confidence interacting with guests
• Ability to run your own event like a pro
• Knowledge of food safety and sanitation
• Private chef, catering, or restaurant experience
• 7 years industry experience
• Culinary school is great.

The Kind of Chefs Who Crush It Here

• Restaurant chefs escaping the grind
• Sous chefs ready to build their own brand
• Private chefs tired of chasing clients
• Culinary badasses who want control of their craft

The Bottom Line

The restaurant industry hides chefs in the back of the kitchen.

We put them front and center.

If you want to:

• cook your own menus
• make real money
• build your reputation
• work on your terms

Join Food Fire + Knives and start cooking for people who actually give a damn.
