Get your time (and sanity) back without giving up real, healthy meals.

Each chef sets their own pricing, and you’ll see it clearly listed on their profile along with their menu. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. You only pay for the chef and meals you choose — no subscriptions or long-term commitments required.

Pricing depends on the chef, your household size, and the type of meals you want. Most sessions range from $100 to $250, but for larger families, special diets, or premium ingredients, the cost can be higher. Each chef sets their own rates and you’ll see full pricing up front on their profile — no surprises or hidden fees. Some charge per session, others per hour or per meal — and you’ll also know whether groceries are included or billed separately.

Not at all! Some people use Meal Prep Connect for regular weekly help, while others just book a chef when life gets hectic. Whether it’s once a week, once a month, or just once in a while, it’s totally up to you.

Yes — many of our chefs are experienced in preparing meals for specific dietary needs like keto, gluten-free, vegan, or low-sodium. You’ll be able to see each chef’s specialties on their profile. If you have a particular concern, you can message the chef before booking to make sure it’s a good fit.

It depends on the chef. Some include grocery shopping in their service, while others may ask you to have ingredients ready. Each chef lists their approach on their profile, so you’ll know before you book. If groceries aren’t included, the chef can usually help you plan what to buy.

Absolutely — if the chef allows customizations, it’ll be noted on their page. Some chefs stick to their menus, while others are happy to adapt recipes or create something special just for you. You can chat with them ahead of time to coordinate.

Not at all! We have clients who are busy professionals, couples, new parents, seniors — anyone who wants fresh, home-cooked meals without the time or stress of doing it all themselves.

Both options are available. Some chefs offer in-home meal prep (they cook in your kitchen), while others prep meals in a licensed kitchen and deliver them ready to eat. Each chef lists what they offer, and you can choose what works best for you.

Yes — in fact, we make it easy. If you find a chef you love, you can rebook them directly from your account for recurring sessions or future dates.

Life happens! Each chef sets their own cancellation policy, but we ask all chefs to be flexible when possible. You’ll be able to see their policy before you book, and if you ever need help, our support team is here for you.

Your safety is our priority. All chefs on Meal Prep Connect are vetted and background-checked before they can offer in-home services. We also encourage reviews and ratings from every client to maintain transparency and accountability.

Tipping is optional and never expected — chefs set their own rates for the service they provide. That said, if your chef goes above and beyond, a tip is always appreciated. Some clients choose to tip occasionally or around holidays, but many don’t — and that’s perfectly okay. If you’d like to leave a tip, you can hand it directly to the chef or use the platform (if tipping is enabled). The best way to show appreciation? Book again or refer a friend!

It’s easy! Just create a free account, set your preferences (location, number of meals, dietary needs), and browse available chefs in your area. When you find one you like, you can view their menu, see pricing, and book a session that fits your schedule — no pressure or back-and-forth calls. You’ll also be able to message the chef directly to coordinate or ask questions before your first session. Everything from scheduling to payment is handled right on the platform.
