Chef4me web platform rebrand introduces advanced booking system, chef vetting, and on-demand meal services across Nigeria
Chef4Me, Nigeria’s emerging culinary marketplace, today announced the official launch of its rebranded platform transforming how Nigerians access personalized culinary services. The comprehensive marketplace connects customers with vetted professional chefs for everything from daily meal preparation to large-scale event catering.
The rebrand is a significant step towards the company’s vision of making “delicious, custom-crafted meals accessible to everyone”. From daily meal preparation to large-scale event catering, Chef4Me is redefining what it means to eat well, promising customers “Your Taste, Your Needs, Your Table.”
Solving Real Problems for Real People
“We identified two significant problems: people want to eat well but lack time to cook, and skilled chefs need stable income streams,” said Oriyomi Adepitan, Founder of Chef4Me.
“Our platform doesn’t just connect these groups – it creates lasting relationships that improve lives on both sides. It became clear to us that food isn’t just about nutrition – it’s about care, culture, and connection. Our rebrand reflects the understanding that we’re not just booking chefs; we’re facilitating relationships between food lovers and the talented people who can nourish them”.
The Chef4me platform targets Nigeria’s growing population of time-constrained professionals who value health and convenience. Users can specify dietary requirements, allergies, and health goals, with chefs creating customized meal choices accordingly. Services range from weekly meal prep starting at affordable rates to premium event catering
What This Means for Customers
For customers, Chef4Me delivers an unparalleled blend of convenience and personalization — what the company calls “affordable luxury.”
- Effortless dining: Delicious, customized meals with no cooking, no cleaning, and no stress.
- Accessible expertise: Budget-friendly chefs offering services once reserved for premium catering.
- Versatile occasions: Book a chef for anything from weekly meal prep to baby showers, birthdays, and corporate events.
- Guaranteed trust: Every chef is professionally trained, background-checked, and rated by real users.
As Jacob, a Lagos-based banking executive, shared:
“I used to spend my Sunday’s meal prepping, but I was always too tired to do it properly. Now through Chef4Me, I found an amazing chef who cooks meals that last me two weeks. It gave me my weekends back — and I’m eating better than I have in years.”
What This Means for Chefs
For chefs, Chef4Me is more than a booking platform — it’s a business toolkit. With automated scheduling, secure payments, and marketing support, chefs can focus on what they do best: cooking.
Take Chef Tunde, for example. He initially started his journey with just his Instagram account. But after losing his Instagram account due to a ban, he was left with sporadic gigs and an unstable income. But since joining Chef4Me eight months ago, he now enjoys weekly bookings, predictable income, and a five-star reputation that attracts new clients without extra effort.
Smarter Features That Build Trust and Drive Bookings
Chef4Me’s reimagined platform comes packed with powerful tools designed to keep both chefs and clients safe, supported, and satisfied. Here’s what’s new:
- Rigorous Chef Vetting
Every chef passes through background checks, skills assessments, food safety certification, and supervised trial sessions — so clients can book with confidence.
- Transparent Ratings & Reviews
Clients can see (and leave) detailed feedback on communication, punctuality, food quality, and overall value — helping the best chefs shine and earn more.
- Secure Payments, Automated Payouts
Payments are handled safely in-app, with automatic payouts to chefs — no awkward cash handling or delays.
- Real-Time Analytics for Chefs
A smart dashboard shows chefs their earnings, booking trends, and customer insights — making it easier to grow and manage their business.
- Flexible Scheduling
Clients can choose between one-time bookings or recurring meal prep — while chefs stay in full control of their availability.
- Personalized Meal Planning
From health conditions to allergies and lifestyle choices, clients can request dietary customizations — opening new opportunities for chefs who specialize in niche cuisines.
The platform’s user experience prioritizes simplicity, allowing customers to describe their needs in plain language rather than navigating complex menus or categories.
Chef4me Proven Market Traction
Since launching in 2022, Chef4Me has demonstrated strong user engagement and retention metrics that validate market demand:
- Thousands of chefs have joined the platform from different parts of the world(mostly from Nigeria, US, UK and India).
- 70% of customers become repeat users within their first month
- 90% of customers rebook their preferred chefs for ongoing services
- 87% report improved eating habits and health outcomes
- 95% cite significant time savings as a primary benefit
Chef retention rates similarly indicate platform success, with participating culinary professionals reporting income increases.
Economic Impact on Nigeria’s Culinary Sector
The platform’s approach addresses broader economic challenges within Nigeria’s informal food service sector. Many talented chefs previously relied on inconsistent catering gigs or restaurant employment with limited growth potential. Chef4Me provides an alternative path to entrepreneurship with built-in business support.
Unlike traditional food service jobs which offer little flexibility or low growth opportunity, Chef4Me gives chefs the tools to build and grow their own business while maintaining work-life balance.
Technology Infrastructure and Security
Chef4Me’s technical architecture prioritizes user safety and data protection. The platform employs high-grade security for payment processing, supervised communication channels, and accountability coverage for all bookings.
The company has partnered with established Nigerian payment processors to ensure reliable transactions, while its chef vetting process includes partnerships with culinary schools and professional associations for credential verification.
