I've been using Cravd for 4 months, and it's great having a personal chef come to our home and prepare meals tailored to our specific diet and macros. The food quality is consistently good, the chefs are always open to feedback, and they even provide a replacement when needed. It's a service we rely on and are happy with every day!

Your questions, answered
What is Cravd and how does it work?
Cravd connects you with professional home chefs who cook personalized meals in your kitchen. Share your preferences, and we'll match you with the perfect chef—no prep, cooking, or clean-up required. Our platform provides menu recommendations, easy scheduling, transparent pricing and much more! Our customer support is always ready to assist with custom requests. Don't hesitate to reach out—we're here to help!
Why can't I hire a home chef from Facebook Marketplace?
While you can find home chefs on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, it comes with risks and added responsibilities. These include unverified chefs, inconsistent quality, lack of safety protocols, and the part-time job of managing schedules, payments, and menu planning. With Cravd, all chefs are thoroughly vetted for safety, hygiene, and professionalism. We also ensure availability with backup chefs ready to step in if needed. We handle the matching, scheduling, menu customization, and payments—so you can enjoy the meals without the hassle of managing a home chef. Leave that to us!
How do I choose a home chef that fits my preferences?
After you share your dietary needs and cuisine preferences, leave the rest to us! We'll match you with a home chef who specializes in your requested dishes. You can review their profiles and customer reviews to ensure it's the perfect fit. Occasionally, we'll provide you with different chef options so you can enjoy a variety of cooking styles and flavors as well.
Can I customize the menu and ingredients for each session?
Absolutely! Through our platform, you can easily customize the menu, specify ingredients, and adjust spice levels to match your preferences. Our system, Maya, provides tailored menu recommendations based on your dietary needs. Plus, the platform captures your preferences over time, making it easier for home chefs to personalize your meals consistently and enhance your experience.
How much does Cravd's service cost, and are there subscription options?
Pricing varies based on two factors: the number of dishes per session and the frequency of sessions each week. All pricing is designed for households of up to 4 people. After onboarding, the initial matching session costs only $39. We offer flexible monthly subscriptions with bi-weekly payments for easy management. You can check out our transparent pricing.
What happens during the onboarding and matching process?
After you submit your requirements, we'll onboard you and set up your profile. We'll then match you with a chef based on your preferences and schedule a session to ensure everything is customized to your needs. If necessary, we'll provide additional matching sessions until you're fully satisfied with your home chef. After that, we'll work with you to create a personalized monthly plan that fits your schedule and preferences.
Are the chefs vetted for quality, safety, and hygiene?
Absolutely! All Cravd chefs undergo a thorough vetting process, including background checks and food safety certifications, to ensure high standards in food quality, safety, and hygiene.
Do I need to provide the ingredients, or does the chef bring them?
Typically, the chef will use the ingredients available in your kitchen. However, if you prefer, they can help source ingredients or create a shopping list for you beforehand. There is an additional cost of $25 per grocery pickup if the chef needs to handle sourcing the ingredients.
