Frequently asked questions
Which areas near Mulund East do you also serve?

Which pincode does the Mulund East service area cover?

Do helpers in Mulund East need society gate passes?
Older co-operative buildings in Mulund East usually have no formal pass system and rely on the watchman. Newer redeveloped complexes near the Eastern Express Highway may ask for a helper ID entry, so check with your society office.
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.
Is there a trial before confirming a cook?
A trial cooking session is normally arranged so you can taste the food and see how the cook works in your kitchen. You can also interview the cook about the dishes they are comfortable with and their timings. The arrangement is confirmed after the trial if both sides are happy.
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.
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.
