We'll come back with a name.

Why kitchens call us

The national agencies quote up to 24 hours once you leave zone 1. We cover the whole city, and we started in the boroughs everyone else treats as an afterthought.

A name

Named chef, not a maybe

You get a name and an arrival time, not a promise to look into it.

Local

Local to the shift

We match chefs to shifts near where they live. No 90-minute cross-city commute that turns into a no-show.

Chef-run

Vetted by someone who cooks

Every chef is assessed by a working chef. We know within one conversation whether someone survives a Saturday.

Who we supply

Back of house, every grade.
