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 and live notifications. 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.
Real experiences
Real reviews from completed bookings
We booked a chef for our National Day gathering — 35 guests. He prepared a full Saudi spread that tasted like it came from our grandmother's kitchen. Not a single complaint.
My wife's 40th was always going to be a nightmare to host. We booked a chef through the app instead of a restaurant — twelve of us, a tasting menu, and I actually got to talk to my own guests.
For my mum's 60th we wanted real Mexican cooking, not catering-tray food. The chef built a menu around her home state and brought mole that tasted like childhood. She cried a little.

For professional chefs
Join 500+ chefs building their own private-dining business on UpChef with 0% commission — you keep every penny you earn. You control your schedule, your pricing, your menus.
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. The reputation you see is the reputation you get.
Pay securely in the app and your payment is held safely until after your event. If a chef can't make it or 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 — no fine print, no lost deposit.
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 for it — 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.
FAQ
Everything you need to know about booking a private chef with UpChef.
It depends on the chef, the menu, and the number of guests — you always see the full price before you book. Most private dinners are priced per person, with no hidden fees, and you can filter chefs by budget.
Your chef plans the menu with you, shops for fresh ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course, and cleans up before they leave. You provide the space — they bring the experience.
In most cases the chef sources fresh ingredients and brings their own specialist tools, building it into the price. You can confirm exactly what's included with each chef in chat before booking.
Yes. Every chef is vetted before they can take bookings, and all reviews come from real, completed events — so the ratings you see are genuine.
You pay securely through the app and your money is held until after your event, so you're protected from a no-show or a bad experience. The chef is only paid once the experience is complete.
If a chef cancels, we help you find a replacement or give you a full refund. If you need to cancel, you're fully refunded up to 7 days before your event.
Birthdays, dinner parties, anniversaries, weddings, corporate events, family gatherings, BBQs, holidays, and weekly meal prep. If you're hosting it, there's a chef for it.
