Airbnb and short stays
A private chef in the kitchen that comes with your stay
You already booked the home. Cheffar sends a verified chef who shops for the menu, cooks and serves in that kitchen, then leaves it clean. Built for arrival nights and the days that follow. Not restaurant delivery.
The first night
Night one is when the stay usually breaks
Guests land tired, in a kitchen they do not know, in a city where “just grab dinner” is not simple. Hosts are often elsewhere. The fallback is takeout, a loud restaurant, or a mess that shows up in the next review.
No local map yet
First night is the wrong time to hunt a restaurant, wait on traffic, or negotiate a strange kitchen alone.
The rental kitchen sits idle
You paid for a place with a stove. Most stays still eat out or order in because nobody will cook there with care.
Hosts cannot be the kitchen
Remote hosts and property teams need a chef who shows up, feeds guests, and leaves the listing ready.
How a stay night runs
One booking. The chef works in your rental.
Dates and kitchen
Dates, guest count, diet notes, and what the kitchen has. If you are the host, add access instructions.
Menu and market list
The chef proposes the meal and an ingredient list from local markets. You approve before anyone shops.
Pay once
Labor fee, market budget, and a flat protection fee. MoMo or Orange Money where live. Money is held with the booking.
Chef in the rental
The chef shops, cooks, serves, and cleans the work area before they leave.

Kitchen check
A normal home kitchen is enough
Cheffar chefs are used to short stay spaces, not commercial lines. Tell us what is there. They plan around it.
You provide
- Working stove and sink
- Counter space and basic cookware
- Clear access for the service window
- Guest count and any house rules
The chef brings
- Knife roll and specialty tools
- The approved market shop
- Service pacing and plating

Keys and access
If you list the home, put key and gate notes on the booking so the chef can enter for the service window. Guests already in the stay can open the door themselves.
Before you book
Built for someone entering a home that is not theirs
Screened chefs
Identity and food safety checks before a profile goes live.
Money held
Checkout total stays with the booking. Market budget opens after list approval. Labor releases after service and cleanup.
Cleanup
The chef clears the work area used before they leave, so the listing is ready for the rest of the stay.
Local payment
MTN MoMo and Orange Money in Cameroon where live.
