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. The company, founded in Sydney, now operates across Australia, the United States, Brazil, and Canada, connecting clients with a curated network of professional chefs spanning 118 cities.
The Canadian expansion brings a service model that has earned a 90 Net Promoter Score internationally, a benchmark rarely seen in hospitality. Each chef is vetted and matched to the occasion, and if a chef becomes unavailable, CHEFIN arranges a replacement. The company provides service standards, menu guidance, ingredient oversight, trusted waitstaff, equipment, and logistics, as well as secure payments, up to $20 million in liability coverage, discretion, and a Satisfaction or Money-Back Guarantee. Canadian pricing is tax-inclusive with nothing added at checkout, ranging 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, accommodating everything from intimate dinners to corporate hosting.
"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."
The launch arrives amid a global shift toward experiential luxury. 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. CHEFIN was built to serve this trend. "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."
For Canadian consumers, the arrival of CHEFIN means greater access to high-end private dining without the overhead of traditional restaurants. For the hospitality industry, it signals a continued blurring of lines between restaurant-quality cuisine and at-home experiences, potentially pressuring traditional venues to adapt. For chefs, the platform offers a structured way to monetise their skills independently, backed by logistical and insurance support. The service is available now at chefin.ca.
