How Livin works

A local chef in your kitchen, every week.

Your Livin chef shops, cooks in your kitchen, and stocks the fridge. You walk in and dinner’s done. Reheatable in five minutes, cleanup handled.

Groceries are included. So your grocery run drops to pantry, breakfast, and lunch. Add-ons for those are rolling out this year.

How it works

A private chef. No planning, no shopping, no cleanup.

  1. Your household profile

    Preferences, picky eaters, allergies, standards. Saved once, confirmed with your chef every week.
  2. Your chef arrives weekly

    Shops, cooks, and stocks the fridge in your kitchen. You don't schedule it. It's already on the calendar.
  3. You walk in, it's handled

    Dinner tonight is done. Reheat in 5–7 minutes. Cleanup too. Repeat for the rest of the week.

Frequently asked

How Livin works in San Francisco.

  • Is Livin available in San Francisco?

    Not yet. Livin serves Atlanta and Los Angeles today. Join the waitlist and you will hear the day San Francisco opens.
  • When will Livin open in San Francisco?

    There is no date set. Opening a market depends on having enough chefs in the area, so the timing follows chef hiring, not a calendar.
  • How is this different from meal delivery?

    A chef cooks in your kitchen. You choose the meals from the menu, the chef shops, cooks, and leaves the food portioned for the week.
  • Can I see the menu before you open?

    Yes. The full menu is live at /menu with macros on every dish. It is the same menu San Francisco will get.
  • How does Livin handle allergies?

    You set allergies in your profile and the chef cooks around them at the ingredient level. Every dish lists its ingredients.
  • Are you hiring chefs in San Francisco?

    Yes. Chef hiring is what gates the opening. If you cook professionally in the Bay Area, the application is linked on this page.
  • Which parts of San Francisco will you serve?

    All of San Francisco is in scope at launch. The ZIP you give on the waitlist helps decide which areas get chefs first.
  • Does Livin serve Oakland, Berkeley, or Palo Alto?

    Not yet. San Francisco is the first Bay Area market. Chef applications and waitlist signups from the East Bay and the Peninsula are how we decide where to open next.
