How using Cheffo compares to other chef platforms
Most chef-booking platforms are built for one dinner party, not your Tuesday night. A personal cook on Cheffo is built for regular, everyday cooking — at a fraction of the price.

Compared to what you spend now
See how a standing Cheffo cook compares to booking a chef platform for occasions. Everyday, not just special occasions.
One cook
Booked once, cooks regularly
The same person gets to know your household and cooks for you on a routine — not just when there's something to celebrate.
Why a cook on Cheffo wins
It costs far less over time
A single private chef booking can cost more than a month of regular cooking with a Cheffo cook.
It's built for every week, not one night
Chef platforms are built around events. Cheffo is built around a standing routine — the same cook, week after week.
You get a relationship, not a booking
Your cook learns what your household actually eats, instead of cooking a one-off menu for an occasion.
What this looks like in practice
From dinner-party regulars to busy households — see how a personal cook replaces one-off chef bookings.

After Cheffo
A Cheffo cook now visits weekly for ~£45. Charlotte gets chef-quality food regularly, for less than she used to spend on four events a year.
