Every new journey can feel daunting, but you've landed in the right place. In this brief article, you'll learn about our story, our purpose, and what sets us apart, making Take a Chef the best destination for private chef services worldwide.
Our Story
Take a Chef began back in 2012 from a home office in Madrid, fueled by the dream of bringing guests and chefs together to share their passion for food in the most comfortable seat: their homes.
From our humble start, we’ve grown into a global network of private chefs and a referent in the category. We expanded from Spain across Europe in 2014, then brought our services to the Latin American market through Mexico in 2015. By 2016, we arrived at our current biggest market: North America. In 2017, we were connecting private chefs and guests in Africa and Oceania, and in 2018, we had our first service in Southern Asia.
It’s been more than 10 years and we have faced many challenges on the way, from the lack of awareness of our category, to global crises that sent ripples through every industry. Storms blew and odd waned, but through it all we have found a way to stay open and keep growing every year, thanks to our team and our community.
As of today, we have made it possible for over 45,000 private chefs like you to connect with clients in 140 countries, from New York to Bali, London to Buenos Aires. We believe this is just the beginning of our journey and that with your on board, both our brands can reach new heights.
Our Shared Purpose
If the best table at a restaurant is the reserved one, what table can be more exclusive than the one at your home? At Take a Chef, we dream of a world where any home can become a unique restaurant. That's why we trust you, our talented chefs, to create incredible experiences at your guests’ homes, enabling them to have a dining experience like no other.
What We're Working For
We're committed to transforming the private chef industry by providing a real alternative to dining out. After all, having a private chef should be accessible and exciting for everyone. Our goal is to become the top choice for private chefs worldwide, so whenever chefs decide to take control of their lives, be their bosses, and bring a human touch to gastronomy, we'll be their first thought.
The Take a Chef Team
In the heart of our operation is a diverse, multinational team that is constantly working to connect chefs and guests all over the world. From marketing specialists and creative designers to IT experts and visionary leaders, our team comes from varied backgrounds and covers a vast set of skills. All of us work together to bring more opportunities and grow our reach to guests and chefs like you.
What Sets Us Apart
At Take a Chef, we believe in partnering with our private chefs. We know many of our chefs dream of starting their own businesses and building a brand around their names. That’s why we work to create, on top of business and service opportunities, a strong Chef Community where chefs like you can find advice from more experienced members and form a network to propel their journey.
To achieve this, we offer educational resources to all members of the Chef Community. In our Private Chef Talks podcast, you can listen to interviews with successful chefs about their professional experiences, advice for beginner chefs, and even pro-hacks for your daily private chef life.
And there's much more to learn! If you want to explore educational resources, get support for your chef business, and connect with fellow chefs, check out the TAC Community. You can also get updates by following us on social media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X).
