At Open Cottage, your safety and peace of mind come first—whether you’re booking a chef for your big event or sharing your kitchen as a creator.

Verified Food Creators Every chef on our platform goes through a profile verification process to ensure they meet our community standards and share your passion for safe, delicious food.  We encourage you to do your own due diligence.  We only ask them to follow local laws, but it’s up to you, the consumer, to trust and verify the food service provider. 

Food Safety & Compliance We encourage our chefs to adhere to local food safety regulations and maintain clean, safe cooking environments. When you book a chef, you can be confident that they take food preparation seriously.

Secure Payments & Communication: Your payments are protected with secure checkout, and all bookings and communications stay on our platform for your convenience and security.

Community Reviews & Feedback After every catering job, clients and chefs can leave reviews. This helps build trust and ensures a consistently high-quality experience for everyone.

Our Role Open Cottage is a community connector—we bring passionate food creators and food lovers together. We do not directly employ chefs or control their kitchens, but we’re here to support you with clear policies and an open line for any questions.
