Canada is home to people from every corner of the planet, and they brought their family recipes with them. That means you can enjoy authentic Filipino adobo, Mexican mole, Brazilian feijoada, Indian curries or Lebanese mezze, made fresh by a cook who grew up with those flavours, without buying a plane ticket.
It's something only a country like ours can offer. Every booking celebrates the cooks who make Canada so rich, and helps them share their culture and earn a living doing what they love.

No. Cheffr is a platform that connects customers with independent cooks. Cooks are not Cheffr employees, and Cheffr is not responsible for food allergies or reactions, injuries or illnesses, any damage or loss in your kitchen or home, theft, or anything else that happens during a service. See our Terms of Service.
You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your booking and get a full refund. Cancellations less than 24 hours before, or no-shows, are not refunded. If a cook cancels, you get a full refund. See our cancellation and refund policy.
Yes. Both customers and cooks are expected to maintain a respectful and safe environment. Any harassment, discrimination or inappropriate behaviour may lead to removal from the platform. Read our code of conduct.
Customers pay by card in Cheffr. The card is charged 24 hours before the booking, when free cancellation ends. After the service, Cheffr sends the cook their price minus the 10% commission, usually within 1 to 2 business days. No invoices needed.
If the customer cancels less than 24 hours before, or isn't available when the cook arrives, the cook is still paid. If the cook cancels or doesn't show up, the customer gets a full refund and the cook gets a strike. 3 strikes can lead to removal. Cooks check in with "I've arrived" in the app, which helps settle disputes.
No. If you met through Cheffr, bookings between you must go through Cheffr for 12 months. Cooks who take bookings off the platform owe Cheffr the fees it would have earned and may be removed.
The cooks do. Cheffr does not control cooks: each cook chooses their own hourly price, availability, menus and specialties, and decides which bookings to accept.
Yes. Every approved cook across Canada gets their first month free on the monthly plan. A card is needed to start, and you can cancel anytime before the free month ends without being charged.
In the customer's kitchen. The customer pays for groceries, or the cook shops and adds the receipt to the booking.
