Chef Provider Partners

Chef Provider Partner – Independent Contractor | Houston

Build your culinary business through one platform, while maintaining control of your availability.
Pantri App launched in May 2026 and is building its Houston Chef Provider Network. We are seeking experienced culinary professionals who want to operate as independent Chef Provider Partners through our platform. This is not a W-2 employment position. Approved Chef Providers partner with Pantri App as independent contractors (1099) and determine the availability they choose to make available for customer bookings.

How the partnership works
As a Chef Provider Partner, you have the opportunity to:

• Own your schedule. You determine when you are available to accept services.
• Bring your culinary skills and business to one platform.
• Receive opportunities to provide services to customers through Pantri App.
• Select the Pantri App service modes for which you have been approved.
• Provide services in-home culinary experience for customers using their ingredients, no more shopping in advanced.
• Maintain your independence as a culinary professional while operating within Pantri App's Provider Network standards.

Booking volume and work are not guaranteed. Service opportunities depend on customer demand, location,
provider availability, service qualifications, and bookings made through the platform.

Cart-to-Table Service Opportunities
Approved Chef Providers may qualify for one or more service modes based on their experience, culinary skills, portfolio, certifications, and vetting results:

Meal Planner
Prepare multiple meals for households based on the customer's booking and meal requirements.

Personal Chef | Tonight's Plate
Provide an in-home culinary experience for a customer's same-day or single-day meal service.

Food Prep Assistance
Provide kitchen support such as ingredient preparation, food-prep assistance, kitchen organization and cleanup, and other approved support services.
Qualification for one service mode does not automatically qualify a Provider for all Chef services.

What We're Looking For
We are interested in culinary professionals who demonstrate:

• Professional cooking or culinary experience
• Strong food quality and presentation
• Reliability and professional communication
• Food safety knowledge
• Ability to work independently
• Professionalism when providing services in customers' homes
• Willingness to complete Pantri App's application, vetting, and onboarding requirements
• Appropriate food-safety manager certification

Provider Vetting
Candidates who meet our initial requirements will be invited to complete the official Pantri App Provider Application. The vetting process may include review of:

• Culinary experience and résumé
• Food photos and/or videos
• Professional references when applicable
• Required food-safety credentials
• Provider profile information
• Background screening

Background Check Requirement
A background check is required before final approval. Approved candidates are responsible for the cost of their own background check. Pantri App currently uses Checkr for background screening. Completion of a background check does not guarantee acceptance into the Provider Network.
