Why myCHEF

A managed company — not a freelance hub

Freelance chef platforms connect you to an independent cook, then step away. myCHEF is different: we own the whole experience — chef, sous chef, service staff, ingredients, equipment, and quality control — so the result is consistent whether it's your first booking or your twentieth.

  • Every chef is background-checked, HACCP certified, and trained in-house
  • Fixed, transparent pricing — no hidden grocery markups
  • One WhatsApp number for everything: menu, booking, and day-of coordination
  • Full accountability — if anything is wrong, we fix it
  • Insurance-covered for villa events and large catering

Local knowledge

Why myCHEF in Seminyak

Our chefs know Seminyak — its villa layouts, the villas that have great kitchens, and the local suppliers that make the food genuinely fresh. That knowledge comes from cooking here hundreds of times, not from a listing on a marketplace.

Seminyak has the highest concentration of private pool villas in Bali. The Oberoi–Petitenget strip alone has 200+ rentable luxury villas within two kilometres of the beach.

European and Australian couples celebrating anniversaries or honeymoons, groups of friends splitting a villa for a long weekend, and families who come for the food scene and want one private evening that beats any restaurant.
