Frequently asked questions

How does grocery reimbursement work?

Upload a photo of your receipt and ChefMate reads the line items automatically. You can edit them, then add the grocery cost to the client's invoice as a separate line — labeled clearly so they see exactly what they paid for food. You can also add a processing-fee line to cover card costs.

Is ChefMate easy to use if I'm not tech-savvy?

Yes. ChefMate is designed to be simple and intuitive. If you can use email or a calendar app, you can use ChefMate. No technical knowledge required.

Can I try it before paying?

Absolutely. Start with up to 3 clients completely free. No credit card required. Upgrade only when you're ready to grow.

Do I have to change how I currently work?

Not at all. ChefMate works with your existing workflow. Use it for meal planning, client notes, or invoicing - whatever helps you most.

Is my data private and secure?
