What you should know
HelpApproved cooks
Mandatory checks cover identity, food safety, allergen awareness, insurance, an interview, a payout account, profile quality and the provider terms.
Allergies
You must say whether anyone eating has an allergy. If the answer is yes, name the allergens. The cook has to acknowledge that information before they can accept.
Your address
Your full address is hidden from the cook until the booking is confirmed. The cook’s home postcode is never shown on the public profile.
Card payments
Card numbers stay with Stripe. Chefup stores the booking, the payment state and the messages.
