Every shef on our platform is

Food Safety Certified

All shefs are required to pass an accredited food safety certification exam and be subject to food quality checks. In regions that have not yet implemented home cooking laws, shefs are required to cook out of commercial kitchens or other legally permissible facilities.

VETTED. VERIFIED. PERFECTED.

We hand-select every chef on our platform. Less than 5% of applicants meet our bar for culinary excellence.
Every dish is vetted by our dedicated Michelin-trained taste testing team for flavor, portions, visual appeal, and overall quality.

What safety protocol at Shef looks like

1
Our Culinary Team regularly reviews every chef and their menu through taste testing and anonymous quality audits.
2
Shefs fully cook dishes, then rapidly cool them to a safe holding temperature of 41°F or below. We never freeze meals, preserving that fresh, homemade flavor.
3
Meals are transported in insulated bags packed with ice packs and food-grade containers to maintain temperature during transit.
All chefs on our platform are required to prepare food in spaces that meet local health and safety regulations.
