Our Delicious History
MyChef KC started as a single venture, featuring one personal chef serving a single client. Word of mouth(ful) spread, and now we’re poised to become KC’s premier in-home personal chef service.
The simple fact is that we love cooking. What makes our meal prep in Kansas City so satisfying—besides the delicious flavors and aromas—is cooking for people who need it. Busy families, empty nesters, athletes, and seniors—each has their own dietary needs. We love helping them eat well, eat right, and enjoy home cooking that they didn’t have to cook or clean!
Meal time is the right time for MyChef KC.
Our Values
Working at MyChef KC delivers personal rewards that go beyond the restaurant kitchen. You’ll work directly with and for our clients, using all that you’ve learned to help them eat well, learn better cooking techniques, and—best of all—take great pleasure in your skills! Discover what it’s like to be appreciated with every dish you create.
OUR VALUES
The Best of the Best
You’ll work with a team of chefs who are committed to growing their skills, even as they share their expertise with our customers. All the chefs we employ are also thoroughly screened, background-checked, and vetted.
Personalized Service
Everything we do is 100% customizable based on our clients’ preferences, from the menu to ingredient shopping to the schedule for when we prepare it in their kitchen. Each day reveals a new challenge to excite your culinary skills.
Nutritional Excellence
You’ll design menus that will feed a busy family living a hectic life or clients looking to lose weight or achieve fitness/athletic goals. Your nutrition knowledge and cooking skills help them achieve delicious results.
Culinary Education
Every MyChef KC chef arrives at a client’s kitchen to cook amazing meals. You’ll engage with the client as they watch what you do, answering questions and helping them learn, grow, and enjoy your amazing meal creations.
Our Culture
The experience of having a personal chef is more than just eating delicious food. It’s a close relationship that proves to be invaluable to everyone involved. Every individual has certain preferences, likes and dislikes, and tendencies. We truly understand that and always personalize each meal based on those aspects to make each experience a memorable one.
Our team loves cooking. Even more so, we love cooking for people who need it. That’s why MyChef KC came to be: to share that joy with as many people as we possibly can.

Frequently Asked Questions
To join MyChef KC, you’ll need to have already had chef training along with professional experience and food handler certification. All of this should be visible on your resume, and your certifications should be available for inspection as we thoroughly screen, background check, and vet our chefs.
Our chefs are also extremely efficient, with the ingrained social skills to positively interface with clients. You’ll be doing your cooking in their kitchens, supplying food for their lives—so the ability to empathize, adjust, lead, and follow are all important for a position as a personal chef at MyChef KC.
You’re certainly welcome to have the “tools of the trade” at your disposal. However, because we utilize a customer’s kitchen for their meal preparation, we use what they have on hand. This keeps our chefs efficient and allows the customer to see how great food can be made with what they have on hand. Plus, you’ll never leave your favorite gourmet knife at someone else’s house!
No, and yes. The difference between these positions is that a private chef works for clients on a full-time basis, preparing most, if not all their meals daily. This is a service we offer and an opportunity may come up from time to time to experience both.
With our chef jobs in Kansas City, you’ll work as a personal chef, arriving at the customer’s home at a specified time—with any needed ingredients in hand—to create fresh, home-cooked meals at a reasonable price. We provide custom-designed menus and recipes that fit the goals and palates of our clients, usually taking 4 hours or less to cook a full week’s set of meals.
