If people rave about
your food, you qualify.
The only thing that matters is the level of your food. If your dishes are something people remember, talk about, and come back for, you are exactly who we are looking for. LocalChef connects high-level chefs with customers who want an incredible dining experience at home. Whether you want extra income or a new career, this is how you make it happen.
We are reviewing founding chef profiles this week.
LocalChef RI is brand new. We are hand selecting the first wave of private chefs across the state, from Newport to Providence to South County. Every founding chef gets direct onboarding support, a published profile, and the first booking traffic when we open the customer side.
