Pre-launch — Fairfield & New Haven Counties, CT, and NYC
The gig marketplace built for professional kitchens.
Yes Chef connects chefs with restaurants, caterers and private households for per-diem, hourly, part-time and full-time work — tap to find a shift, tap to fill one.
Tap to find a shift. Tap to fill one.
No back-and-forth, no job boards to scroll — Yes Chef works like a rideshare app for kitchen staffing.
Build a verified profile
Chefs list experience, cuisines and availability. Businesses list their kitchen and typical shifts. Verification happens before launch.
Tap to match
Open shifts appear nearby in real time. One tap sends a request; the business accepts and the shift is locked in.
Work the shift, get paid
Payment runs through the platform, escrow-style — no invoicing, no chasing checks after the shift ends.
