Private chef booking — common questions

Straight answers about booking, pricing, and how TheKitchenTable works.

What is TheKitchenTable?

TheKitchenTable is a private chef marketplace in the United States. You browse verified chef profiles, compare cuisines and pricing, and book in-home dining for your home or short-term rental—often with same-day or next-day availability in active markets.

How do I find a private chef near me?

Open Find a Chef, enter your city or region, and filter by cuisine, occasion, or dietary needs. Each listing shows the chef’s service area, sample menus, and reviews so you can shortlist quickly before sending a booking request.

How much does a private chef cost on TheKitchenTable?

Many experiences start around fifty dollars per person for plated dinners; large buffet-style groups can be lower per person. Final price depends on guest count, menu complexity, and travel—your chef confirms pricing before you pay.

Can I book a private chef for an Airbnb or vacation rental?

Yes. Hosts and guests use TheKitchenTable for in-unit chef service. Add your rental address and guest count in the booking flow; the chef coordinates arrival, menu, and kitchen use with you or your property manager.

How fast can I get matched with a chef?

Most requests receive responses within about two hours during business hours in covered markets. For peak weekends or mountain destinations, booking a few days ahead improves choice and pricing.
