Build something amazing
Everything you need to launch, grow, and scale your business.
Our promise
A new marketplace built on a fair deal
GigChef is just getting started, so here's exactly what you can count on from day one — no inflated reviews, just the commitments we hold ourselves to.
No upfront cost for chefs
Browsing and booking shifts is free. We only earn when you do — a flat 15% on completed work.
Vetted both ways
Every chef profile and every venue is reviewed before they can post or accept a shift.
Paid on time, every time
Funds are held securely and released to chefs within 48 hours of a confirmed shift.
How GigChef works
From empty station to fully staffed service
We connect chefs and venues, handle the matching, and take a single flat fee so kitchens stay covered and chefs stay working.
