TIRED OF THE RESTAURANT GRIND? BRING YOUR KITCHEN SKILLS HOME.

If you've been working the line and wondering what's next - this is it. Livin connects experienced line cooks and prep cooks with private clients in Atlanta's most sought-after neighborhoods who want exceptional home-cooked meals.

You bring the culinary skills. We handle everything else: client acquisition, scheduling, billing, and menu. No more expo yelling. No more closing shifts at 2am. No more kitchen hierarchy. Just you, a beautiful home kitchen in Buckhead or Virginia-Highland, and the food you love to make.

Note: You do not need personal chef experience to apply. We specifically welcome current and former line cooks, prep cooks, banquet cooks, and culinary school graduates who are ready for a new kind of kitchen.

WHY LIVIN?

  • Pay of $20 - $25/hr beats most Atlanta line cook wages - and you keep 100% of tips
  • Day shifts and weekday schedules - real work-life balance
  • No commute to a commercial kitchen - work in neighborhoods close to you
  • We handle all client management, billing, and scheduling so you can focus on cooking
  • Build a sustainable culinary career without sacrificing nights and weekends

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Shop for ingredients and prepare meals in clients' private homes in Atlanta-area neighborhoods
  • Customize meals based on client preferences, dietary restrictions, and allergy requirements
  • Plate and properly store meals (refrigerate/freeze) per client guidance
  • Clean the kitchen and all cookware used - returning the space to its original state
  • Maintain a professional, hospitable, and reliable presence with each client
  • Adhere to all food safety standards

REQUIREMENTS

  • Required: Minimum 2 years of professional kitchen experience (restaurant, hotel, catering, or accredited culinary program)
  • Required: ServSafe or Food Handler Certification required (or willingness to obtain before first service)
  • Required: Reliable transportation to client locations in Atlanta metro
  • Ideal Candidate: Line cook, prep cook, banquet cook, or culinary school grad - you do not need personal chef experience
  • Ideal Candidate: Hospitable, detail-oriented, and trustworthy working independently in clients' homes

COMPENSATION & SCHEDULE

  • Pay: $20.00 – $25.00 per hour
  • Supplemental pay: Tips
  • Flexible scheduling - day and evening shifts available
  • Monday - Friday primary availability; weekend shifts available for those who want them

BENEFITS

  • Flexible schedule that fits around your life
  • Work in upscale, comfortable home kitchens - not a commercial line
  • Supportive team that handles all the business so you don't have to
  • Real career growth in private dining without starting from scratch
