For personal chefs
A small setup to get you live, then pay per real inquiry. No retainers, no monthly bills.
Setup fee credited back after 90 days
Word of mouth is great until the calendar has gaps you did not plan for.
Likes do not fill your week. You need people ready to hire, not just admire your work.
Marketplaces and gig boards attract price shoppers — not the clients you want at your table.
A short conversation about your city, your services, and whether the fit is right.
You keep cooking. Outreach, targeting, and your client-facing page are handled for you.
Name, contact, what they need — sent straight to you so you can follow up.
When someone in your city is ready to hire a personal chef, this is the experience they land on — built to turn search intent into a real inquiry.

Actual results using this proven system
From a single lead
One inquiry came in. One call to qualify. One in-person meeting. That lead became a client who wanted in-home dinners five days a week — the kind of work that fills a calendar, not a single weekend.
Cost to land the client
~$300
Third inquiry
Not every win lands on the first try. For one chef, the third inquiry was a large outdoor barbecue — the kind of event that pays for months of outreach in one booking.
Booking value
$10,000
Your results will vary. The point is what is possible when the fit is right.
The math
ChefLeads targets high-paying clients — not cheap noise. You are not buying ads. You are buying conversations with people who already want to hire a personal chef.
Typical booking
$2,000–$10,000+
Private dinner, meal prep, small event
When someone reaches out
$50–$150
Per inquiry — only when you can follow up
If 1 in 3 inquiries book
~$150–$450
To land one paying client
10×+
A $3,000 booking at ~$300 to acquire is 10× or more back on what you put in — when the fit is right.
Chefs on ChefLeads have landed five-figure clients for a fraction of that cost — the same standard applies in your market.
One booked dinner often pays for months of inquiries — vs. posting with nothing to show for it.

Inquiries
You pay per qualified inquiry
No retainer. No monthly ad bill on your card. Each inquiry is a real person in your area asking to hire a personal chef.
$50–$150per inquiry
Your exact per-inquiry rate is confirmed on the call before you commit. No surprises — launch and inquiries are always part of the same system.
Five inputs, one custom rate — quoted on your call before you commit.
Your market
Your area
The biggest factor. Reaching buyers in New York costs more than Columbus — your rate reflects reality.
How far you travel
A focused neighborhood costs less to reach than an entire metro.
Demand in your area
Busier metros cost more to reach — and usually have more people searching. Your quote reflects both.
Your practice
The clients you want
Dinner parties, meal prep, and small events attract different people. Pricing targets the inquiries you actually want.
Your capacity
More availability can mean more volume and a better per-inquiry rate. Tighter capacity means fewer, more selective matches.
Early partners in a new city sometimes get pilot pricing — ask on your call.
ChefLeads gets the right locals to your phone — people already searching for a personal chef in your area. No retainer. No ad bill on your card. Pay when someone real reaches out.
Run by a former chef who built the system after landing five-figure clients from search — hands-on in your market, not a call center.
Qualified inquiries for independent hospitality pros — your market, pay when it works.
