About the Work This is not generic meal prep. Meals are prepared in multiple portions for the week, but each dish is fully customized and cooked specifically for the household. This is hands-on, in-home cooking for families who value quality — and notice when it's missing. This is not a low-effort or drop-in cooking role. You are responsible for delivering a full, consistent service each week—clients rely on you, and the expectation is that you follow through. Who This Is a Good Fit For Professional chefs who take reliability seriously and understand that families are counting on them week to week People who show up when they say they will, communicate early if something changes, and don't leave clients guessing Chefs who value consistency and follow-through as much as creativity Chefs who take real pride in their work and bring a high level of care and detail—whether from fine dining or similarly high-standard kitchens Professionals who understand that this is not occasional or casual cooking — it's a recurring service built on trust Chefs who enjoy building steady, long-term client relationships through presence, care, and dependability Requirements 3+ years of professional cooking experience Reliable vehicle and ability to travel within the service area (up to ~45 minutes) Ability to transport groceries and tools (up to ~50 lbs) Comfort using an app for communication and documentation Strong attention to detail and personal accountability How to Apply Apply here to be considered: https://elevatedlifestyle.typeform.com/work-with-us If it feels like a strong fit, we'll reach out to schedule a brief video call.
