Privacy until you are selected

How payments and platform fees work
Chefs pay a 3% platform fee on completed work. The fee is shown clearly before you commit to a shift and is deducted automatically when you are paid. You will always see what you will receive and what goes to the platform. There are no hidden fees. ChefMatch only earns the platform fee; the rest is paid to you. Payment is made securely through the platform after you submit your invoice.
Beta note
