Earn as a Private Chef in Grand Point

We receive quotes from clients who provide details about the dining event they're hosting, including the type of cuisine they desire—whether it's a 3-course meal, a BBQ, or a sharing platter—as well as their budget.

Our registered chefs review the requests and proceed to submit their quotes along with sample menus tailored to each event. Once shortlisted, event planning and other details are discussed.

No, we don’t accept any cash transactions since all payments are done through our platform itself.
