What type of services can I offer?

When you set up your profile, you'll choose the main type of experience you want to offer. Here's what each option actually means, with simple examples — no confusion, no guesswork.

Step 1: The 3 main categories

• Chef services — private chefs, long-term personal chefs, catering, cooking workshops, meal-prep, and more.
• Venues & locations — listing a private dining room, restaurant, vineyard, or other venue for events (not cooking yourself — the space itself).
• Products (coming soon) — meal boxes, wine boxes, artisan products.

You can always add more services, venues, or products later — you don't need to decide everything on day one.

Step 2: What each Chef service actually means

• Private chef You cook for guests at their location — their home, a villa, a yacht, wherever they're hosting. Example: a couple books you to cook a birthday dinner at their apartment.
• Long-term personal chef Instead of a single event, you're hired for an ongoing period — like being a family's personal chef for a week, a season, or a longer contract. Example: a family on a 2-week holiday hires you to cook breakfast and dinner every day at their villa.
• Meal-prep services You cook meals at the client's home, or prepare them in advance for delivery — think batch-cooked meals for the week, not a single sit-down dinner. Example: a client asks you to prepare 5 days of lunches and dinners in one visit.
• Catering Large-scale food service for events — weddings, corporate events, parties, and more. Example: you're hired to cater a 100-guest corporate holiday party.
• Wedding catering Specifically managing weddings — both the catering itself and the logistics around it, for weddings large or small. Example: you handle the full catering and setup for a 60-guest wedding reception.
• Cooking workshops You host a hands-on cooking class or workshop for a group, either at the guest's venue or your own location. Example: a group books a 2-hour pasta-making workshop with you.
• Luxury meal boxes and meal kits You sell and deliver (or offer pickup for) pre-made meal boxes or kits — not a live cooking event. Example: a client orders a curated meal box delivered to their door.
• Showcooking You host a live cooking demonstration or "show" for an audience — more performance/entertainment-focused than a regular dinner service. Example: you cook live in front of guests at a corporate event, narrating as you go.
• BBQ catering You host BBQ-style events, at the guest's venue or your own location. Example: you're booked to run a full BBQ spread for a summer garden party.
• Food trucks You own and operate one or more food trucks. Example: your food truck is booked to serve a street food festival.
• Buffet catering You host buffet-style events — guests serve themselves from a spread you've prepared — at the guest's venue or your own. Example: a corporate lunch where you set up a full buffet for 80 people.
• OFYR experiences You host an OFYR-style experience (open-fire cooking, typically on an OFYR grill) at the guest's venue or your own location. Example: a live open-fire cooking experience for a group dinner outdoors.

Step 3: Select all that apply, then pick your primary service

You can select as many of these as genuinely apply to you — most chefs offer more than one. Once you've selected them all, you'll be asked to choose your primary service: the one that best represents what you do most, or want to be known for first. This helps clients understand your main focus at a glance, even if you offer several services.

💡 Only select what you can actually deliver well — this is exactly what we use to match you with the right client requests, so accuracy here means better-fit leads for you.
