Friendly Foods

For chefs

Cook for your neighbors.

A handful of families. A weekly menu. Your own kitchen.

A chef working in their own home kitchen

A small operation.

Friendly Foods is a handful of chefs in Los Angeles, each cooking weekly for a few families. Menu is set. We handle everything around it — the texts, the confirmations, the shopping list, the route. You stay in your kitchen.

How a typical week runs.

Monday

Set the menu. Families confirm by text.

Tuesday

Ingredients at your door. Cook. Deliver.

Wednesday

Get paid. Rinse and repeat.

Set your own rate.

A chef cooking two menus a week for three families spends about 10 hours a week cooking and delivering. You set your hourly rate.

What we hand you.

Plan, send, track

See who has reviewed, who confirmed, and what still needs a nudge.

Shopping lists from real orders

Confirmed portions drive your shopping and cooking numbers — no guessing. Groceries show up at your door.

Guided production

Move from sanitation and prep to cooking, packing, and delivery with structure.

Who this is for.

Chefs who want a small, stable, weekly cadence. Not a side hustle. Not a catering operation. -- A weekly rhythm with the same families, cooked in your own kitchen.
