Our clients are often shocked by our prices. Specifically, their eyebrows go up when they find out how affordable it is to have your own personal chef come cook in your home! We charge $49 an hour, plus the cost of food. Note: We do not cover the cost of groceries. You’ll need to have a payment supplied up front for that, in the form of card or cash, whatever you’re most comfortable with.

Personal Consultation
A personal chef comes to your location, where you’ll discuss the details including scheduling, where to shop, menu specifics, and anything else needed for a great experience.
Ingredient Shopping
You don’t have to go to the grocery store—we do that for you! Your personal chef pick ups all the ingredients needed for your meal prep service in Kansas City.
Cooking & Cleaning
At the designated time, your personal chef turns your kitchen into a home restaurant, cooking up delicious meals and nutritional snacks for you to enjoy all week.

It all starts with a MyChef KC consultation. This 1-on-1 allows your chef to get to know you, your kitchen, and the food you need and love.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your personal chef can absolutely create meals and snacks that fit your diet! We have tons of experience with diets—diabetic, keto, organic, vegetarian, weight loss, heart healthy, and more. We can execute almost any diet plan, and we will adapt the menu to your needs and cook the food in any form or way you want. See? It’s nice having your own personal chef!
Every situation is slightly different. However, in our experience, for a family of 4, most of the food for the week will cost around $300-$350 total. Are there just 2 of you? That total cost comes down. Things to consider: Different ingredients cost different prices. Chicken and ground beef will be cheaper than shrimp and halibut. Keep that in mind when making requests. Also, the benefit of an hourly service is that if one week someone is out of town or you have dinner arrangements already and don’t need as many meals, then your total will be less.
MyChef KC will provide you with a service manual outlining our meal prep services in detail in Kansas City. We do that so that, as you and your personal chef create amazing menus and food to fit your situation, we are fully transparent about all costs and yummy expectations.
That being said—unlike other services, we do not require contracts, charge any sign-up fees, nor do we charge you if you wish to end service! We do have a holding fee of $65 for taking a week off, a 3 hour minimum for our weekly service, as well as a travel charge for clients outside of our normal service areas.
