Quick answers — and if you're stuck, open a support ticket.
For chefs
How do I get my own page?
Sign up, verify your email with the 6-digit code, then claim your username — your page lives at username.chefnetwork.in. Fill in the builder sections and hit Publish.
How do inquiries reach me?
Every page has a "Send inquiry" form. Leads land in your Lead inbox (and your email, unless you turn that off in Account). Reply directly via the visitor's email or phone.
What does the ✓ Verified badge mean and how do I get it?
It means our team reviewed your identity or certification documents. Open the builder → Verification, share document links, and we'll review within a few days.
What is Premium and how do referrals work?
Premium unlocks growth features as we roll them out. You get bonus days at signup, and +30 days every time a chef joins with your referral code (they get +30 too). Find your code in the builder → Referrals.
How do the AI tools work?
The ✨ buttons draft taglines, bios, dish ideas, FAQs and your SEO description from your existing profile. Everything is a draft — edit before saving. Limit: 20 generations a day.
Can my page be in Hindi or other languages?
Yes — builder → Vernacular pages generates translated versions with a language switcher. Search engines are told about each language version too.
How do I upload photos?
Use the 📤 buttons (hero, gallery, post covers) — JPG/PNG/WebP up to 5 MB.
For visitors
How do I find a chef?
Browse chefnetwork.in/chefs — filter by city, cuisine and diet, try ✨ Smart search in plain words, or use the map.
Do I need an account to contact a chef?
No. Use the inquiry form on any chef's page — just leave your email or phone so they can reply.
What are favorites?
Tap ♡ on any chef card to save them on your device — see them under ♥ Saved. No account needed.
Can I get alerts for new chefs?
Yes — run a filtered search and use the 🔔 New-chef alert box. One-click unsubscribe in every email.
Is ChefNetwork involved in bookings or payments?
Not yet — we connect you directly with chefs. Agree on terms, menus and payment with the chef themselves.
