CHEFIN, the private-chef service that has orchestrated more than 118,000 personalised dining experiences worldwide, has launched in Canada. Canadian hosts can now book professionally vetted private chefs for occasions at home, corporate events, holiday gatherings, and regular personal chef services, with pricing shown up front and every booking professionally supported.
Founded in Sydney and now operating across Australia, the United States, Brazil, and Canada, CHEFIN connects clients with a curated network of professional chefs spanning 118 cities. The Canadian launch extends a model already delivering a 90 Net Promoter Score internationally—a benchmark rarely seen in hospitality.
"Canada has a sophisticated dining culture and a clear appetite for meaningful experiences over material things," said Petko Petkov, CEO of CHEFIN. "We're not opening a restaurant. We're bringing the restaurant—and the chef—to wherever our clients want to gather. Different chefs, different cities, one standard of care."
CHEFIN helps talented private chefs create exceptional dining experiences, backed by the structure and support they need to do their best work. Each chef is vetted and matched to the occasion, and if a chef becomes unavailable, CHEFIN arranges a replacement. From service standards, menu guidance, ingredient oversight, trusted waitstaff, equipment and logistics to secure payments, up to $20 million in liability coverage, discretion, and a Satisfaction or Money-Back Guarantee, every booking is professionally supported.
Canadian pricing is tax-inclusive, with nothing added at checkout—from $65 per person for cocktail canapés to plated multi-course fine dining from $195 per person. CHEFIN serves homes, offices, event spaces, holiday houses, and outdoor settings, for everything from intimate dinners to corporate hosting.
The launch arrives as high-net-worth consumers increasingly prioritise experiences over possessions. The global millionaire population is projected to grow 19% between 2024 and 2028, and experiential luxury is expected to drive the majority of the luxury market's growth—a shift CHEFIN was built to serve.
"Every market we enter, we stay local—with chefs who know the city and a team that knows our clients," Petkov added. "Canada is the natural next chapter."
CHEFIN's Canadian service is available now at chefin.ca.
For the hospitality industry, CHEFIN's entry signals a competitive threat to traditional catering and restaurant private dining, while offering a new revenue channel for freelance chefs. For Canadian consumers, it provides a convenient, transparent way to host premium dining at home or the office. The move also underscores the broader shift toward experiential luxury, which could reshape spending patterns and service offerings across the country's food and events sectors.
