Private Cheffing Jobs
The Art of Cooking: Steps to Become a Chef
As chefs, we work in one of the toughest and lowest-paid industries out there. The typical chef life generally means studying for four years at an expensive culinary school, while barely making enough money for rent, let alone to pay back those student loans. The current model is not sustainable, which is why we strive to create private chef opportunities that are more than catering gigs.
There has also been a huge shift in the hospitality industry away from traditional brick-and-mortar establishments with a focus on customizable and more personal options, which means that you will be meeting the moment through getting booked for private cheffing jobs.
Food Fire + Knives was founded to support chefs by providing freedom of creativity, schedule flexibility, and supplemental income. Whether as a career or as a way to enhance your portfolio, we see your talent as one to be respected and your craftsmanship to be rewarded.


Our platform empowers local chefs across the country to find customers for private cheffing jobs, flexible catering gigs, and ways to flex your talents in providing unique dining experiences. We bring you the business, handle the billing, and talk to the customers, while you do what you love most – the cooking!
Be Creative
We cooked up Food Fire + Knives because we believe in the power of private chefs when given opportunities to show off their cooking chops in ways that aren’t possible in conventional restaurant settings. We know how rewarding it feels to have a culinary career that is both financially successful and where your skills can flourish.
Through FFK-based private cheffing jobs, you are in charge of more than your schedule: you are an entrepreneur who can showcase your artistic talents while providing guests with an unforgettable dining experience.
Get Paid Weekly
Our platform lets you set your own prices and menus. You receive the entire per-guest total for each private cheffing job you book minus a small chef commission, which we reinvest into attracting more private cheffing job opportunities.
Once you’re on the platform, we can also help you get FFK certified, which will make your menu more visible to customers. You can read more about how it all works here.

The single most interesting component to any restaurant is the CHEF, tucked away in the kitchen.
