Frequently asked questions
What is not part of a cook's job?
House cleaning beyond the kitchen is not included; a maid is hired for that. Grocery shopping is excluded unless you explicitly agree it, and catering for large events is outside the scope. Childcare and elder-care duties are also not part of a cook's role.
Can I hire a cook for just one meal a day?
Yes. Part-time cooks come for one or more meal slots, and each slot usually takes one to two hours depending on the number of people and dishes. Full-time and live-in cooks are available for households that want all meals and snacks handled through the day.
Can I get a cook for my regional cuisine or diet?
You can specify cuisine preferences, such as North Indian, South Indian, Bengali, Maharashtrian or others, and dietary needs like Jain, vegetarian, diabetic-friendly or low-oil cooking. Matching is done against these preferences, and a trial meal helps confirm the cook's style suits your family. The more specific you are, the better the match.
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.
Is this service available in Bengaluru?
Yes. Bengaluru is the official name of Bangalore and both names refer to the same coverage area. The city is organised into six zones: East, South East, South, Central, North and West Bangalore.
Do you cover Whitefield and Marathahalli?
Yes. Whitefield, Marathahalli, Hoodi and Ramamurthy Nagar form the East Bangalore zone. Most housing here is in gated apartment communities along the IT corridor, so helpers are usually registered with the society before starting.
Are the helpers verified?
Yes. Every helper's documents are checked and background verification is completed before they are placed with a household. Helper details are kept on record, and you can ask about a profile's verification status before the interview.
