Private chef, priced per person
No membership. No mystery quotes. Browse local chefs, see per-person pricing upfront, and book the chef and menu you actually want.
Most per-person private chef services route you through a concierge, push a membership, and hand you a set menu. Chefry keeps it direct.

Comparison reflects the typical concierge / membership private-chef booking model. Pricing varies by chef, menu, location, and guest count.
Per-person pricing scales with your menu and your guest count — so you know your total before you book.
From $25
Casual & larger groups
Simpler menus, bigger headcounts, and family-style spreads bring the per-person price down. A great way to feed a crowd without a catering bill.
$40 – $80
Dinner party
A multi-course, plated dinner for a handful of guests — shopping, cooking, and kitchen cleanup included. The most-booked experience on Chefry.
$100+
Premium tasting
Fine-dining-trained chefs, premium ingredients, and multi-course tasting menus for a special occasion at home.
Multiply by your guest count and you have your total. No surprise quotes after the fact.
Stack chefs side by side on the same number — the way you would compare a night out.
Pick the chef, the cuisine, and the menu. The price follows your choices, not a fixed package.
On Chefry, per-person private chef pricing starts around $25 per person for casual menus and larger groups. A plated multi-course dinner party typically runs $40–$80 per person, and premium tasting menus start at $100+ per person. You see each chef's per-person pricing upfront before you book.
No. Chefry never puts pricing behind a membership or subscription. Every chef lists their per-person rate openly, and you book directly — no monthly fee, no "members-only" rate to unlock.
Yes. Instead of being matched to a set menu, you browse local chefs by cuisine, reviews, and price, then work with the chef you choose to build the menu you actually want.
For a typical in-home dinner, the per-person price covers menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking in your kitchen, plating, and cleanup. Premium ingredients or add-ons may be quoted separately — each chef spells this out on their listing.
For dinners and events, per-person pricing is easier to compare and scales naturally with your guest count, so you know your total before you book. Some chefs also offer hourly rates for meal prep or longer engagements.
