Frequently Asked Questions – Clients

What is PersonalChef.pro?

PersonalChef.pro is the personal chef portal where you can find the chef who can provide the needed service in terms of location, type of service, cuisines, price, etc.

How does PersonalChef.pro work for Clients?

Clients can select chefs based on location, type of service, cuisine, price, and desired keywords.
Clients can also check the reviews present on PersonalChef.pro for the specific chef/service needed.

How can I check the reputation of the chefs?

Each chef service shows the reviews left from previous clients, these reviews come from the personalchef.pro review system or also from Google reviews when available.
It is also possible to filter the chefs’ services by the required level of reviews.

How does the booking process work?

Once the Client has identified the best chef service, there are two different possibilities depending on how the chef accepts the booking requests, via the instant booking or the message feature.
In instant booking, you have to pick an available date and time from the calendar, insert the number of guests, and then the price is calculated according to the rules for the specific service.
To be able to send the booking request, the client has to be already registered and logged in, otherwise, the registration process is automatically started.
Once the booking request is created, the chef receives an email and must approve the booking or decline it manually.
If the chef doesn’t accept the instant booking, the client can message the chef who will receive an email request with the info from the client.
Once the reservation is approved (or declined), the Client will receive an email notification that the booking is confirmed (or declined).

I don’t have time to conduct the chef selection process, can you help me?

Simply select “chef concierge” as the type of service and, if it is available for the region/country, enter the request. The chef concierge will select the best chef who meets the requirements of the requested service and will forward you the chef’s proposal

Do Clients have to pay for the service when they insert the booking?

PersonalChef.pro doesn’t manage the payment for the bookings, this is done directly by the Chef.
He will instruct you if an advance payment is needed and which payment methods he accepts.
