Common Questions
Straight answers about cost, fit, and how Sous works.
Is a personal chef worth it for families?
Most Sous customers find it costs about the same as what they were already spending on delivery — but with real food, known ingredients, and a chef who learns their family's tastes over time.
How is Sous different from a meal kit?
A Sous chef cooks in your home with fresh ingredients chosen for your family. No boxes, no pre-portioned kits, no recipes to follow. Your chef adapts to your dietary needs, preferences, and schedule every week.
Do I need to be home when my chef cooks?
No. Many clients give their chef access and come home to a stocked fridge. Your chef shops, cooks, portions, and cleans up.
