Frequently asked questions
Which areas near Hauz Khas do you also serve?
Green Park, Safdarjung Enclave, Malviya Nagar and Munirka are all adjacent and use the same helper network. SDA and Hauz Khas Enclave are covered within Hauz Khas itself.
Do helpers in Hauz Khas need society gate passes?
In SDA flats and the apartment blocks near the Outer Ring Road, helpers are usually registered at the gate. Builder floors and plotted houses in Hauz Khas Enclave normally have no formal pass requirement.
Which pincode does Hauz Khas service cover?
Hauz Khas falls under pincode 110016, which it shares with neighbouring Green Park. Coverage includes Hauz Khas Enclave, SDA and the blocks around the Hauz Khas market area.
What should I tell the helper about reaching my home?
In mixed areas, addresses can be harder to locate than in a single large society. Share a clear landmark, the building or house name, floor, and whether there is a lift, and mention any gate or security step. This helps the helper arrive on time on the first day.
Are cooks verified?
Yes. Each cook's documents are checked and background verification is completed before placement. Hygiene practices and comfort with your kitchen setup, such as gas, induction or a chimney, are things you can discuss during the interview.
How long does it take to find a cook?
Timelines depend on how specific your cuisine, diet and timing needs are, and on cook availability in your area. Common requirements such as everyday North Indian cooking in a standard morning or evening slot are usually matched faster than niche cuisines or unusual hours. Shortlisting, a trial and confirmation happen in that order.
What if the helper leaves or does not work out?
A replacement policy is in place across all services. If a helper leaves, is irregular, or the fit is not right, you can raise a replacement request and a new profile is matched to your original requirements. The specific terms are shared with you at the time of booking.
