Note: we are currently only onboarding new shefs in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. Applicants in Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles will be waitlisted.
The Problem We're Solving
Many customers find themselves overwhelmed by the time and effort required to search for and order the best meals on Shef's marketplace
The options available from other companies on the market today are bland, manufactured, lacking variety, and often not fresh. They are usually manufactured in a central facility, packed in plastic film-sealed containers, then shipped in a cardboard box.
Our Solution: Weekly Shef Service
Curated Mains & Sides: Customers subscribe to a certain number of mains and sides each week, curated from our top shefs, and based on the each customer's unique preferences.
Weekly Control: Customers choose what they want to eat every week. They can order the same food every week, or switch it up every time!
Flexible Scheduling: Customers have the freedom to skip orders or cancel their subscription at any time before the designated cutoff time (3 days before delivery at 3pm).
An Exclusive Opportunity for Shefs
