How Chef Matching Works

The Right Opportunities. Sent Directly to You.

All Dem Chefz™ connects Chefz with requests that match their location, availability, specialties, pricing, experience, and service capabilities. You decide which opportunities you want to pursue.

From Customer Request to Chef Opportunity

Every match begins with a request

The request may include everything a Chef needs to decide if the opportunity is a good fit.

  • Event type
  • Date and time
  • Location
  • Number of guests
  • Cuisine preferences
  • Dietary needs
  • Service style
  • Budget

The Matching Process

Eight steps from request to review

01

The Customer Builds a Request

Built manually or with the AI Event Builder — with enough detail to tell if it's a fit.

02

The Matching System Identifies Qualified Chefz

The system evaluates Chefz on location, availability, specialties, pricing, and experience — only capable Chefz receive it.

Budget Matching

Avoid requests outside your pricing

Chefz establish general pricing preferences during profile setup. This helps prevent requests that fall significantly outside your pricing expectations.

  • Minimum booking amount
  • Preferred price per guest
  • Meal-prep pricing
  • Event-size pricing
  • Grocery-inclusive pricing
  • Delivery-only pricing
  • Travel fees
  • Service radius

Matching Priority

How matching order is determined

Paid membership can influence notification and exposure priority but cannot replace quality, availability, or request compatibility.

  • Direct specialty fit
  • Availability
  • Distance
  • Verification
  • ChefScore™
  • Recent performance
  • Responsiveness
  • Customer preferences

Customer Limits

How many offers a customer requests
