Chris Muscarella Founded Kitchensurfing to Get Pro Chefs into People’s Homes
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. Read more »
