WHAT YOU GET

What private chefs need.
What others don't give you.

Delivery apps weren't built for you. The Goods is built around how private chefs actually get hired.

🔎

Discovery Profile

A public chef profile buyers can actually find — your cuisine, specialties, service area, and vibe. You get discovered instead of cold-pitching every client.

📅

Booking Management

Take booking requests for dinners, events, and meal prep in one place. No more juggling DMs, texts, and screenshots to keep track of who booked what.

💬

Client Communication

Automated confirmations and updates keep clients in the loop from inquiry to plated dinner — without you typing the same message ten times.

📸

Portfolio

Show your work. Plates, menus, past events, reviews. A portfolio that sells the experience before the client ever books.

FEATURES

Run the business side.
Stay in the kitchen.

🧾

Custom Menus & Quotes

Build menus and quote engagements your way. Per-head, per-event, tasting menus — you set it, the client sees it clean.

⚡

Automated Messaging

Booking confirmed, deposit received, day-of reminders — sent automatically so you stay in the kitchen, not on your phone.

💰

Get Paid Your Way

Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, cash. Clients pay you directly. No bank account or verification required, and we never take a cut.

🛍️

Marketplace Listing

Listed in The Goods marketplace under Private Chef, so buyers searching for in-home dining in your city find you.

📍

Service-Area Reach

Set where you cook. Clients nearby see you first — built for local, in-person engagements.

⭐

Reviews & Reputation

Every great dinner builds your reputation on the platform, so booking the next client gets easier over time.

FAQ

Private chef questions. Answered.

How is this different from being on a catering or chef-for-hire site?+
Those platforms take a cut of every booking and own your client relationship. The Goods charges a flat monthly subscription and never touches your money. The client is yours, the payment is yours, the relationship is yours.
Do clients pay through the platform?+
No. Clients pay you directly however you accept — Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, or cash. No bank account or verification required. We never hold or process your money.
I do meal prep and events, not just dinners. Does that work?+
Yes. Set up menus and quotes for in-home dinners, events, tasting menus, or weekly meal prep. You define what you offer.
What if I don't have a big portfolio yet?+
Start with what you have — a few plates and your specialties are enough to get listed. Your portfolio and reviews grow with every booking.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. We earn your subscription every month.

Your kitchen is ready.
Let the bookings find you.
