Dinner Takes More Time Than Just Cooking.
First, you have to figure out what everyone will eat. Then...
Make The List
Go To The Store
Put Everything Away
Prep & Cook
Portion Leftovers
Clean The Kitchen
And tomorrow?
You get to figure it out all over again.
MyChef takes the entire process off your plate, not just the cooking.
This is a highly personalized service. That means you decide what makes sense for your family and your budget. Font
The Payoff
You Handle Opening the Fridge. We Handle the Rest.
You want your family eating real, home-cooked food. You just don't necessarily want to spend your Sunday meal prepping or your Wednesday night grocery shopping, chopping vegetables, cooking, and cleaning the kitchen.
That's where MyChef comes in. Your chef handles:
The Planning
The Shopping
The Cooking
The Portioning
The Clean Up
You handle: Opening the fridge
MyChef gives busy Omaha professionals and families a way to keep home-cooked food on the table without making food preparation another job on an already packed schedule.
Time savings
Imagine Getting Those Hours Back Every Week.
What would you do with the time you currently spend planning meals, shopping for groceries, cooking, and cleaning?
Spend it with your kids.
Get to the gym.
Finish work before dinner instead of after it.
Actually relax at the end of the day.
Or simply stop thinking about what's for dinner.
That's what you're really getting with MyChef: one less thing competing for your time every single day.
Made for Your Family. Not for the Masses.
Anyone have allergies? No problem.
Love Mexican food? Great. Let’s work it in.
Kids won’t touch anything spicy? We’ll work around it.
High-protein lunches for you? Done
Want glass containers instead of plastic? Done.
Grab-and-go portions and family-style meals for dinner? Yes.
Everyone loved last week’s dinner? Let’s make it again.
Ready for something different? We’ll switch it up.
Your schedule changed this week? Your menu can change too.
Okay, But What Does This Actually Cost?
Personal Chef service probably sounds expensive.
It may be more attainable than you think.
MyChef service starts at $50/hour + groceries.
A typical family of four getting most of its weeknight food prepared may spend approximately $350–$400 total, depending on the amount of food, menu, groceries, and time required. And remember what you're getting:
Meal planning.
Grocery shopping.
Cooking.
Portioning.
Cleanup.
You're not just paying for food. You're buying back hours of your week.
One Chef Visit. A Much Easier Week.
Step 1: We Plan
Your personalized menu is created around your household, schedule, preferences, and budget.
Step 2: We Shop
Your chef checks what you already have and shops for the fresh ingredients needed for your menu.
Step 3: we cook
Your chef prepares your meals from scratch in your own kitchen one day a week.
Step 4: We Portion
Individual lunches? Family dinners? Snacks? Freezer meals?
Your food is packaged around how you'll actually use it.
Step 5: We Clean
Your chef resets the kitchen before leaving.
Step 6: you open the fridge
And realize you don't have to figure out dinner tonight or tomorrow.
Or the rest of the week.
This Isn't Another Meal Kit.
Meal kits can save you from planning and shopping.
But you're still the chef.
You still prep. You still cook. You still clean.
With MyChef, those jobs are handled for you.
Meal kits: “Here's everything you need to make dinner.”
MyChef: “Dinner's already made.”

Families Don't Need More Things to Do. They Need Fewer.
"Amazing Chefs! The food is better than the top restaurants . We love being able to have a custom menu of amazing, fresh food every week. It’s one of the best decision we’ve ever made for our family."
- Cami G
"Chef Michael is a huge help. He meal preps for us for 5 days a week. As a new mom with a child that needs constant attention. It’s been hard for me to cook and for us to lose weight. Chef Michael has been amazing. Making good healthy food for us. His latest vegetable medley has us hooked. We hate vegetables but this dish was amazingly delicious. All good so far has been so good."
- Andrea H
MyChef is the best thing to happen to me and my family! They give us so many hours back each week because they do the meal planning, grocery shopping and cooking for 4 dinners a week. The menus are creative and contain a wide variety. They also are great with dietary restrictions and other special requests. Thank you so much!!!!
Frequently Asked Questions
You're Considering Letting a Chef Into Your Home. Ask Away.
Is a personal chef really affordable for an average family?
That's exactly what surprises many people about MyChef. Rather than employing a full-time private chef, you're paying for the chef time your household actually needs. Chef time starts at $50/hour plus groceries, and a typical family of four receiving most of their weeknight food may spend approximately $350–$400 total. Actual costs depend on your household, menu, ingredients, and amount of food being prepared.
Is this a private chef?
Not in the traditional sense. A private chef generally works full-time for one household. MyChef provides personal chef services to multiple Omaha households, which makes having a professional chef prepare your weekly meals far more accessible.
How customized can my menu really be?
Very. Your chef builds your menu around your household rather than asking you to choose from a predetermined list. You can discuss cuisines, favorite dishes, foods you dislike, portions, family-style versus individual meals, nutritional guidelines, ingredient preferences, repeat favorites, variety, and other household needs. Your menu can continue evolving as your chef gets to know you.
Can you accommodate dietary preferences?
MyChef can accommodate many dietary preferences and guidelines. Your specific needs can be discussed privately during your consultation so the team can determine the best approach for your household.
Who chooses my chef?
MyChef does. We begin by learning about your household, tastes, routine, goals, and needs. From there, the team hand-picks a chef who they believe will be a strong fit. If something isn't clicking, tell us. The relationship should work for you.
Will I meet my chef before we start?
Your consultation and onboarding process is designed to give your chef the opportunity to understand your household, kitchen, schedule, preferences, and budget before regular meal prep begins.
Are there hidden fees?
Standard meal-prep pricing is based on chef time plus groceries. Certain specialized services or travel outside MyChef's normal service area may involve additional fees. Applicable costs should be discussed with you so you understand what you're paying for.
Can my weekly cost change?
Yes and that's actually part of the flexibility. If you need fewer meals one week, your service can adjust. Grocery costs also vary depending on the ingredients you choose. Your service is designed around what your household needs rather than a rigid subscription box.
What if we want to change our menu?
Change it. Your menu isn't a contract. It's a living plan that can evolve based on what your family likes, what you're tired of, what's happening that week, and what you'd like to try next.
