What ChefMaison wants to enable

Cook creatively, on your own terms.

We built ChefMaison for chefs who want to cook for the people at the table: menus you design, guests you talk to, and a calendar that is yours.

Cook creatively

Design your own menus and personalize them with clients directly, based on their occasion and tastes.

Decide your own pricing

You have total control of pricing. Whether you are listing high-end fine dining 7-course menus or a family-style 3-course dinner, you decide and quote your own prices.

Talk to guests directly

Chat with guests before they book, shape the evening together and win repeat clients.

Work when you want

Take the requests that suit your calendar — say yes to a weekend or a whole season, and no when you need to.

Cook around the world

Browse open requests from guests in countries worldwide and take your craft where you want to go.

We take care of the rest: marketing, secure payments, invoicing, guest support and cancellation protection.

Income calculator

How many dinners would replace your income?

Try a scenario with your own numbers. Results are illustrative and not a promise of demand.

Based on ChefMaison bookings across 100,000+ guests, chefs net around €600 per dinner in Europe and about $900 in the US. Start there and adjust to your own numbers.

7 dinners a month

About 1.6 a week and 10 hours a week of work.

Illustrative only. The default is based on the median net per dinner in your market. Your results depend on demand, which we do not guarantee.
