FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Şefs work for cooks?
Diners subscribe to weekly meal plans, place one-time homemade orders, and buy pantry staples from local Şefs. You cook and pack; we help with discovery, ordering, support, and delivery coordination in live areas.
What can I sell?
Weekly subscription dishes, one-time meals and specials, and pantry items (pickles, snacks, spice mixes, and similar staples) that can ship with your deliveries.
Do I build my own menu?
Yes. Our team helps you lean into dishes that reheat well for weekly plans, keep one-time specials appealing, price pantry fairly, and match what your pincode actually orders.
How long does onboarding take?
Typical path: application & menu, quality check, then profile setup. Many home cooks are live within a few weeks, depending on readiness and photos.
What is the quality check?
We look at flavour, technique, presentation, and how well dishes reheat — so weekly and one-time diners get consistent ghar ka khana.
How many days must I cook?
As many as you like. There is no fixed minimum. You set capacity and days for weekly and one-time availability.
What do I cover vs Şefs?
You handle ingredients, containers, and kitchen ops. Şefs helps with discovery, orders, support, and last-mile coordination where we are live. Exact logistics can vary by locality.
What about food safety?
Trust is priority one. Applicants complete food-safety guidance, quality checks, and must keep strong ratings. We support you through the process.
