Making meals for a large number of people is never easy or even viable for people without strong cooking skills.  Still, using catering services or take-out orders to feed guests at one’s home often seems impersonal and uninteresting.  Cool person Chris Muscarella founded his startup Kitchensurfing to provide people with a third option: bring a professional chef into your home to cook for you and your guests.  Kitchensurfing users can book professional chefs for one-night occasions where they will cook a dinner for your gathering using your kitchen.  Essentially, Muscarella lets people turn their houses into ad hoc restaurants for an evening by letting people hire chefs for their home the same way they would for a larger event at a fancier venue.  Chefs purchase all the food ahead of time when a user books their services and the grocery costs become part of the overall price to the customer.  Users can search for different chefs on Kitchensurfing by filtering for availability, cuisine type, and price range.  Once a user selects the chef they want, Muscarella’s website puts them in direct contact with that chef to work out the details.  Anyone who experiences problems with the website while trying to find a chef should contact tech support for help.

Kitchensurfing allows people to book chefs for a variety of occasions.  Users who want someone to cook at the home for a small group of friends can find chefs willing to make smaller meals.  However, Muscarella’s site also has options available for someone who needs a chef to cook for an event with twenty or thirty people attending.  Chefs who post their services to the site can decide whether they would prefer to appear in search results for smaller parties, larger parties or even both potentially.

Muscarella also has his company process all payments directly through the Kitchensurfing website. Users don’t have to use outside services such as PayPal to purchase their Kitchensurfing appointments and all costs associated with the meal go into a single payment for the user’s convenience.  Anyone who has difficulty processing payments online can get in touch with remote computer support for assistance.

Before founding Kitchensurfing, Muscarella gained experience in both the restaurant business and the technology industry.  This cool person became a proprietor of Italian restaurant Rucola Brooklyn in New York City in 2010, which he is still involved with today. Between 2006 and 2009, he ran a company that provided mobile technology tools to nonprofits and political campaigns.  With Muscarella’s experience in both food and technology, he is the perfect person to make the Kitchensurfing vision a reality.
