What is CookinGenie?
CookinGenie is a personal-chef-on-demand service that helps you enjoy delicious, nutritious meals prepared with fresh ingredients in your kitchen. Our service aims to eliminate the hassles of meal planning and to prepare quick healthy meals like breakfast, lunch, dinner, or party food for small social gatherings.
How does CookinGenie work?
CookinGenie works by providing personal chefs to customers for their in-house dining events. The client places an order on our site by choosing a chef and the dishes required for the event. The chef arrives on the date of the event with fresh groceries, prepares the meals, and cleans up afterward.

Before a chef becomes our genie, they go through the following process:

- Interview with our recruiting specialist.
- Tasting Day: The chef needs to prepare each dish in front of us. We taste it to ensure that our users get restaurant-style food.
While most of our genies are professional chefs, some are excellent culinary experts passionate about fresh home cooking.
