Getting Started
The application process
ChefHub is selective. We're building a curated community of professional chefs in the Twin Cities — not an open marketplace. Here's how the process works:
Step 01
Apply
Submit your application — culinary background, experience, style, and location. Takes about 10 minutes.
Step 02
AI Fit Review
We run an AI scoring pass on your application and notify you of the result within 48 hours.
Step 03
Qualification Call
If your score qualifies, you'll receive a link to schedule a 20-minute video call with our team.
Step 04
Background Check
Candidates who pass the call receive a Checkr background screening link. Clearance is required to be listed.
The full process typically takes 5–10 business days from application to approval, depending on scheduling and background check turnaround. We notify you at every step.
Your Studio
Everything you need to build your business
Go Live
Stream directly from your browser or connect an RTMP source. Live streams appear on your channel and on the platform home.
Recipes & Provision
Publish structured recipes alongside your videos. Lock individual recipes or bundle them with a channel subscription.
Bookings
Set your availability, pricing, and service area for private in-home dining. Clients book and pay through the platform.
Popup Events
Create ticketed popup dinners, classes, or tasting events. Set capacity, ticket price, and location.
Merch
Import and sell products from partner suppliers directly through your chef profile page.
Payouts
Connect your Stripe account during onboarding. Payouts are processed automatically on Stripe's standard schedule.
Revenue Share
What you keep
We take a small platform fee so we can keep the lights on and build the tools you need. Chefs keep the majority.
