# Understanding Take a Chef's 20% Commission
## No hidden fees, only a 20% commission on every confirmed service.
Signing up with Take a Chef is free, allowing you to create your account and receive service requests without paying any fees. By considering our 20% commission and setting your own prices, you'll always know how much the client pays and how much you'll earn.
#### Why Do We Charge This Commission?
This commission is crucial to maintaining a vibrant and secure marketplace for chefs like you. Take a Chef operates as a marketplace that connects chefs with clients. Hence, the commission is essential for sustaining and enhancing our platform, ensuring it remains optimized and up-to-date for both chefs and clients, 24/7, year-round.
#### How Do We Use Your Commission?
- **Marketing Investments:** A significant portion is reinvested in marketing to attract a diverse range of clients, resulting in more service requests and potential booking opportunities for you.
- **Operational Costs:** A portion of the commission goes towards payment processing fees and other operational expenses, ensuring chefs receive their money correctly and safely.
- **Team Support:** Our dedicated team of 40 professionals, including support, IT, marketing, and more, works tirelessly to support your success, connect you with valuable partners, and provide assistance as needed.
- **Technological Advancements:** Continuous IT development ensures our platform remains user-friendly and feature-rich for an improved user experience.
- **Global Server Infrastructure:** We maintain servers across continents for faster responses and comprehensive data backups.
- **24/7 Support:** Our team is available around the clock to assist with any queries or concerns you may have.
- **Innovative Chef Projects:** We're always developing new projects to offer additional opportunities and benefits for our chef community.
- **Security:** Take a Chef prioritizes security, facilitating transactions and communications through our platform to minimize the risk of scams and ensure peace of mind for all parties involved.
#### Commission Adjustments for Partnerships
There's a commission split when you receive business through our partners, such as Airbnb Luxe or Rental Escapes. Take a Chef receives a reduced 10% commission, while the partner's share is typically 8%. For long-term partnerships, the partner's commission may increase to 20%.
This means that the overall service commission for partnerships can reach up to 30% of the service, while the chef earns 70% of the payment. But this is not a bad thing at all.
These **[partnerships](https://helpcenter.takeachef.com/tac-partnership-program?hsLang=en)** provide networking and collaboration opportunities for chefs, leading to more consistent and lucrative work. Collaborating with prestigious brands enhances professional visibility and market status.
