CHEFIN, a private-chef service that has facilitated over 118,000 personalized dining experiences worldwide, has launched in Canada. The expansion brings professionally vetted private chefs to Canadian hosts for occasions ranging from intimate dinners to corporate events, holiday gatherings, and ongoing personal chef services. With upfront pricing and comprehensive support, CHEFIN aims to capitalize on a global shift toward experiential luxury, where consumers increasingly value experiences over material possessions.
The company, founded in Sydney and already operating in Australia, the United States, and Brazil, connects clients with a curated network of chefs across 118 cities. Its Canadian launch extends a model that has achieved a 90 Net Promoter Score internationally—a benchmark rarely seen in hospitality. "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."
CHEFIN's service includes vetting and matching each chef to the occasion, with a replacement arranged if a chef becomes unavailable. Bookings are backed by service standards, menu guidance, ingredient oversight, trusted waitstaff, equipment and logistics, secure payments, up to $20 million in liability coverage, discretion, and a Satisfaction or Money-Back Guarantee. Canadian pricing is tax-inclusive, with no additional charges at checkout: cocktail canapés start at $65 per person, while plated multi-course fine dining begins at $195 per person. The service is available for homes, offices, event spaces, holiday houses, and outdoor settings.
The launch comes as high-net-worth consumers increasingly prioritize experiences. 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—a shift CHEFIN was built to serve. "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 hosts seeking to elevate their entertaining, CHEFIN offers a turnkey solution that combines the creativity of independent chefs with the reliability of a structured service. The company's entry into Canada signals confidence in the country's dining culture and its potential as a market for premium in-home dining. As the experiential luxury trend continues, CHEFIN's model could reshape how Canadians think about hosting, blending the personal touch of a private chef with the consistency and support of a professional network. Canadian service is available now at chefin.ca.
