Private Chef Services

Define the role
before the match.

Cheffarm reviews live-in, visiting and meal-prep requirements for private households and family offices in the UAE and GCC.

Service models

Three ways to structure household support

These are starting structures, not fixed packages. Availability, fees and responsibilities are confirmed only after the specific household brief and working conditions have been reviewed.

01

Live-in chef

A long-term household role with an agreed working pattern, responsibilities and communication structure.

May suit
Households seeking ongoing kitchen support and a chef integrated into a defined household routine.
Reviewed before confirmation
Location, household schedule, kitchen scope, days off, accommodation, visa, insurance, compensation and reporting lines.
02

Visiting chef

Scheduled chef visits for agreed meal periods or service days without a live-in arrangement.

May suit
Households that need regular support on selected days, for defined meals or around a repeatable weekly schedule.
Reviewed before confirmation
Visit frequency, preparation time, shopping and ingredient responsibility, kitchen access, handover and cancellation terms.
03

Meal prep

Recurring preparation of agreed meals, quantities and storage handover around household routines.

May suit
Households looking for prepared meals on a predictable schedule rather than full service at every meal.
Reviewed before confirmation
Menu cycle, quantities, labelling, storage, reheating guidance, ingredient sourcing and kitchen hygiene responsibilities.

Current operating model

HQ-curated now, supported by a developing OS

Cheffarm is not an open chef marketplace and does not assign chefs automatically. HQ reviews each brief and privately curates Partner Chefs. Cheffarm OS is in pilot development to support operations while people retain final responsibility for role, menu and safety decisions.

HQ curation

Review the household brief and privately select suitable Partner Chef candidates.

Partner Chef

Deliver the agreed service and record relevant menu, change and feedback information.

Manager Chef

Where assigned, coordinate trials, menu review, quality and operating issues.

Nutrition support

Use nutrition-science-informed menu drafts as pilot decision support, not diagnosis or prescription.

Human review

Keep final role, menu, safety and contractual decisions with the responsible people.

Privacy

Collect only the information needed for the current stage.

Start with the household brief.

Share the location, service model, timing and household size. We will review feasibility before discussing availability or fit.
