I have been looking for a reliable private chef for our family for over a year. The options on WhatsApp are unreliable and there is no way to verify who you are inviting into your home. A platform like this is long overdue.
I do three private events a month and my biggest headache is always finding a chef who shows up on time and actually cooks at the level I advertise to my clients. If I can book verified chefs through an app, that changes everything for my business.
As a chef, I have been underpaid for years because I had no way to show clients my real value. The idea of a profile with reviews and verified credentials is exactly what this industry needs. I applied the same day I heard about it.
Our diplomatic residence regularly hosts 20 to 40 guests for formal dinners. We need a chef who understands presentation, dietary restrictions, and discretion. Finding someone of that calibre through word of mouth is exhausting.
Continental expansion · 2026
We are not building for tomorrow. We are already here.
AfriChef launches in Lagos and Abuja where demand for private culinary talent already exists at scale. The HNI clientele is not a projection. They are real, already spending, and waiting for a platform worthy of their expectations.

AfriChef clients are not comparing you to a restaurant. They are paying for a private experience worth remembering. Here is what chefs on our platform can realistically earn per engagement.
₦85K
Intimate dinner
4–6 guests, 3-course private dining at a Lekki or Maitama residence
₦250K
Corporate lunch
Executive boardroom catering, 10–20 covers, premium menu
₦800K+
Flagship event
Luxury gala, private celebration, or multi-day residency with full service
Single gig ceiling
₦800,000
And this is the floor, not the limit. As your profile builds reviews and reputation, your rate is yours to set.
Imagine closing just four flagship events per month. That is ₦3.2 million — from bookings that find you, pay upfront, and never negotiate your worth.
Why AfriChef
Built differently.
For professionals, by professionals.
For professionals, by professionals.
HNI clients, pre-screened and serious
Every client on AfriChef is vetted before they can make a booking. No price hagglers. No last-minute cancellations. Lagos and Abuja's executives, diplomats, and luxury households who value excellence and pay for it.
Payment secured before you cook
Every booking is paid into escrow before you lift a pan. Funds release to your bank within 24 hours of service completion. Zero risk. Zero chasing. Zero awkward conversations about money.
Your profile works around the clock
A stunning chef profile with your portfolio, menus, certifications, and reviews — visible to every HNI client on AfriChef. You get discovered while you sleep. Bookings land in your dashboard, not your DMs.
Full control of your business
Set your own rates. Block your calendar. Decline bookings that do not fit. AfriChef gives you the infrastructure of a premium agency with none of the restrictions. You own your space here.
Africa expansion — you grow with us
Founding members have first-right access to every new city AfriChef launches. Lagos and Abuja today. Accra, Nairobi, and Cape Town by 2027. If you are building a culinary career that spans the continent, this is where it starts.
Founding member badge — permanent
The first 40 chefs carry a founding member badge on their profile forever. When clients see this, they know they are booking someone who built this platform from the ground up — the most trusted tier in the network.
Your data is safe with us.
AfriChef is built on security-first infrastructure. Here is exactly what we do with your information.
Encrypted and secure
All documents and personal information are encrypted at rest and in transit using bank-grade SSL encryption.
Never shared with clients
Your personal information, ID, and contact details are never visible to clients. They only see your public chef profile.
KYC after approval only
Full document verification is only requested after your application is approved. Your application requires ID type and number only.
One-time founding member entry
₦50,000
paid once · never again
This is not a subscription. It is a one-time entry fee into a curated network of Africa's best culinary talent. A single private dinner booking returns your investment — ten times over. Once you are in, you are in for life.
