Location: Greater Indianapolis Area (In-Home / Client Sites)

CONTRACT PERSONAL CHEF – JOIN OUR GROWING TEAM
RDeeming Nutrition LLC is a thriving personal chef business looking to add a talented, organized, and personable contract chef to our team. We currently have multiple chefs serving clients across the area, and we're growing. We handle all the backend — lead generation, client vetting, invoicing, contracts, and payments — so you can focus on what you do best: cooking great food and building lasting relationships with clients.
Here's how it works: we match you with vetted clients, and from there, the client relationship is yours to own.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build a customized weekly menu tailored to each client's dietary needs, preferences, and goals
- Communicate with clients weekly to gather feedback, refine menus, and confirm preferences
- Create a detailed grocery list and share it with the client for review and approval
- Shop for groceries on prep day, then head to the client's home to cook
- Efficiently prepare, package, and stock the fridge with the week's meals
- Leave the kitchen spotless and provide clients with a clear reheating and assembly instruction sheet
- Repeat the process weekly, building a consistent and trusted relationship with each client
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- ServSafe Certified (required)
- Highly efficient in the kitchen — you know how to maximize your time and work clean
- Exceptionally organized and self-directed — you manage your own menus, timelines, and client communication without hand-holding
- A strong communicator — responsive, professional, and warm with both clients and our team
- Nutritionally literate — you understand how to build balanced, well-rounded meals
- A quick thinker — if an ingredient is missing or a substitution is needed on the fly, you don't miss a beat
- Reliable and trustworthy — you're entering people's homes and we take that seriously
- Relational and personable — clients should feel comfortable and genuinely look forward to seeing you
COMPENSATION
- $50/hr during in-home prep (sessions typically run 3–6 hours per client)
- $25 flat rate for grocery shopping per client
- $40 mileage stipend for clients located 30+ minutes away
- Realistic weekly earnings with 3 clients: ~$525–$975/week
- Realistic weekly earnings with 5 clients: ~$875–$1,625/week
GROWTH POTENTIAL
We're looking for someone ready to build a consistent client base. Our goal is to get you to 3 clients per week, with the potential to grow to 5. The more reliable and client-focused you are, the more opportunity there is.
OUR HIRING PROCESS
We take quality seriously — for our clients and for you. Before joining the team, candidates go through a 3-step in-person vetting process:
1. Shadow & assist — You'll join me for a real client session to observe how we operate and lend a hand
2. Lead the menu, cook together — You'll create the menu (approved by me and the client) and we'll cook side by side
3. Full independence — You'll plan and execute the session solo while I observe
From there, I'll make my decision. This process is designed to set you up for success and ensure it's a great fit on both sides.
THIS ROLE IS A GREAT FIT IF YOU...
- Are a culinary school grad, self-taught home cook turned pro, or seasoned personal chef
- Want flexibility and autonomy without the hassle of running your own business
- Take pride in your craft and genuinely enjoy feeding people well
- Are looking for steady, recurring work with real earning potential
Interested? Send us a message with a little about your background and why this role speaks to you. We'd love to connect.
