Shef operates an online marketplace that connects local cooks, who are certified in food safety, with customers looking for homemade meals. The platform allows these cooks to sell their dishes, helping them earn a meaningful income while providing customers with access to a variety of homemade food options. Shef has a significant reach, serving over 60 million people across 10 states and facilitating the delivery of more than 1.6 million meals. Unlike traditional food delivery services, Shef focuses on empowering local cooks to monetize their culinary skills and build personal connections within their communities. The company's goal is to transform the food system by redefining how people participate in the food economy and encouraging the sharing of food experiences.
