How to grow your payments app with private chefs

Private chefs cook in clients' homes, holiday villas and chalets, for dinner parties, birthdays, weekends away and whole holidays. Most take a deposit when the booking is confirmed so they can buy ingredients, then the balance after the event, sometimes with a tip for the chef and any staff. Groups often want to split the cost between several guests. A payments app that sends deposit and balance links, lets a group split the bill, and takes tips with a tap can win these chefs, and every client who pays sees your app.

Take deposits and balances by link
A deposit link when the menu is agreed and a balance link after the meal means the chef is never out of pocket for ingredients.

Let groups split the bill
One link that each guest can use to pay their share saves the host from collecting money, and a tip option thanks the chef and staff.
Grow through food and hospitality
Private chefs know caterers, holiday let owners and cookery schools. One chef on your app can introduce the others.
