Questions about chef work in India
Is it free to get listed as a chef in India?
Yes. There is no listing fee, subscription or deposit. If anyone asks you to pay to join InstaHelp, they are not from InstaHelp — report it on WhatsApp at +91 70227 02220.
Who sets the rate for chef work in India?
You do. You quote the customer directly and the customer pays you directly. We can tell you what the going range looks like in India so you are not quoting blind, but the number stays yours.
How soon will requests start reaching me?
Verification usually finishes in a few working days. After that it depends on live demand for chef work in your area. We do not promise a fixed number of requests — anyone who does is selling you something.
Can I take chef work part-time in India?
Yes. You set your availability — full-time, part-time, weekends or per job — and accept only the requests that fit your schedule. There is no exclusivity, so you keep your existing customers.
