UpChef is the chef-first platform. You set your prices, your schedule, and your style. We bring you the clients.
No rent. No fixed costs. No boss. Just the client's kitchen and your talent.
Most platforms are built for the customer and treat the chef as a commodity. UpChef is built for the chef first. Your price is yours. Your schedule is yours. Your reputation is yours.
When you join UpChef, you're not applying for a job — you're building your own business.
Built by chefs, for chefs
The hours are brutal. The pay rarely matches the work. You stand over the pass while someone else takes the credit — and the margin. You make people happy every single night, then drive home wondering if this is really all there is.
We're chefs. We've lived it. That's why we built UpChef differently — so that, for once, the person who cooked the food is the person who gets paid for it.
UpChef commission for chefs is 0%. Because you're the one who cooked it.
