Terms of Service

Eat Cook Joy is a booking platform that connects you with vetted local chefs who shop for groceries and cook in your kitchen. The chef provides the cooking; Eat Cook Joy provides the matching, scheduling, and payment.

• Pricing is flat per session. Meal-prep tiers start at $95, $115, and $165 for a Rising chef; Skilled chefs are +30% and Seasoned chefs start at +50% over baseline.
• Groceries, cooking, and cleanup are included in the session price.
• Payment is collected after the session via the card on file. Tips are optional and never expected.

You can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before your session. Within 48 hours, we may charge a fee to cover the chef's reserved time and any groceries already sourced. We'll always tell you the amount before charging.

You are responsible for telling us about allergies and dietary restrictions when you book. We relay that information to your chef and confirm it before prep. While chefs take allergies seriously, home kitchens are not allergen-free environments and we can't guarantee against cross-contact. If you have a severe allergy, use your judgment and consult your doctor.

You agree to provide safe access to a working kitchen and to treat the chef professionally. Chefs agree to cook safely, follow food- handling best practices, and leave your kitchen clean.

The service is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Eat Cook Joy is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

We may update these terms as the service evolves and will revise the “last updated” date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
