Book a private chef without the WhatsApp chaos
A marketplace for home cooks and private chefs: profiles, tiered rates, overbooking-safe scheduling, in-platform messaging, payments and commission, and reviews — all inside Odoo.
The problem
Private chef and home cook bookings are coordinated over WhatsApp threads, phone calls and spreadsheets, with no shared record of rates, availability or what was agreed — leading to double-bookings, disputed prices and no audit trail when a booking changes.
The solution
A single Odoo marketplace for cook profiles, rate cards and calendar-safe bookings, with in-platform messaging, notifications, commission and payout tracking, and reviews — so every booking from inquiry to payment lives in one auditable record.
Run the whole chef marketplace from Odoo
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Cook Profiles & Cuisine Specialties
Photo, years of experience, location and custom cuisine tags on every cook, plus a certifications table with expiry tracking for food-safety-sensitive placements.
Four-Tier Rate Cards
Set hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rates per cook; selecting a cook and a rate type on a booking computes the unit price automatically.
Overbooking-Safe Calendar
Availability is checked against each cook's existing bookings, so a new booking that overlaps an existing one is blocked before it can be confirmed.
Full Booking Lifecycle
Every booking gets a unique reference number and moves through draft, confirmed, in progress, completed and cancelled, with dietary notes and menu plans attached.
In-Platform Messaging
Customers and cooks message each other directly on the booking record, keeping the conversation that produced the job in the same audit trail.
Real-Time Notifications
Cooks get an activity alert the moment a job is created, and both parties are notified automatically on confirmation and cancellation.
Commission & Payout Tracking
Set a default commission percentage or override it per booking; the app computes the commission amount and cook payout alongside the invoice.
Cancellation & Refund Workflow
A configurable free-cancellation window governs whether a cancelled booking is refunded in full, partially, or not at all.
Ratings & Reviews
Customers rate and review a cook after a booking is completed, building a visible track record on every cook's profile.
How it works
Browse & Select
Filter cooks by cuisine, city and availability, then pick a rate type for the job.
Book & Confirm
The system checks the calendar for conflicts and computes price, commission and payout automatically.
Message & Deliver
Cook and customer coordinate menu and dietary details in-app as the booking moves to in progress.
Complete & Review
Mark the booking completed, generate the invoice, and collect a rating and review from the customer.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
It handles both: each booking computes a unit price from the cook's rate card, a configurable commission percentage, and the resulting payout, and generates the invoice — the operator never has to calculate fees by hand.
