Need a Last-Minute Chef?
Most chefs require at least 24 hours’ notice to prepare for a service, and some may need additional lead time. This helps ensure a seamless, high-quality experience.
If you still need a chef for a last-minute booking or for tonight, you can submit a request here and available chefs will respond as quickly as possible.
If you don’t hear back within a couple of hours, we recommend trying a different date or reaching out to our Customer Success team for assistance.
