What your customers pay

Your prices are yours — Chefry never marks up a menu item or a booking. On top of your price, the customer pays:

Chefry service feeNever dips below the card-processing cost; always the customer's fee — it never touches your earnings.
5%
Sales taxBy state — 10% in California. Collected with the order and paid out to you with your earnings; you remit it as the seller.

Founding 200

The Founding 200

Chefry's first 200 chefs are enrolled automatically at signup while spots remain — no code, no catch — and get a numbered founder badge to prove they were here first.

  • Free Pro subscription — Pro perks like your white-label link-in-bio page, at no charge.
  • VIP payouts and a numbered founder badge.
  • The deal never expires: founders pay 0% commission for as long as they sell on Chefry.

171 of 200 spots are taken. Sign up while spots remain and the deal is yours automatically.

Refer & Earn

Get paid for who you bring in

Your share link lives on your dashboard under Refer & Earn. One link works for chefs and customers:

Refer a chefCounts on all their sales — even 0%-commission plate orders.
1% of their sales · 12 mo · up to $1,000 per chef
Refer a customer
1% of their spend · 12 mo · up to $100 per customer
The chef you refer getsTheir side of the deal.
$10 setup bounty + 14% rate for a year

Earnings become withdrawable after a 7-day hold (the card-dispute window), and every payout comes out of Chefry's fee on the sale — never out of your referral's earnings.

Ambassador tier: once 5 chefs you referred each make a real sale, your rate rises to 1.5%, the per-chef cap disappears, and your referrals never expire.
