The story behind Cookzy
It all started with a simple WhatsApp message.
The cook who prepared meals at my home reached out asking for a favor: "Sir, do you know anyone who needs a cook? I have a morning slot open."
I thought it would be easy to refer him. Instead, I discovered how broken the system was.
Families were struggling to find reliable cooks. Meanwhile, cooks were relying on colony notice boards, random WhatsApp forwards, or agencies that exploited them by taking a full month's salary as "commission."
I realized there had to be a way to connect families directly with trusted cooks in their neighborhood—without middlemen taking a cut. That's how Cookzy was born.
We started small, but word spread quickly. Because letting someone into your kitchen is deeply personal, we built a dedicated team to handle verifications and ensure every match actually worked out.
Today, we've helped over 25,000+ families find the right cook. And the best part? That very first cook who texted me is still on the platform, finding work on his own terms—and keeping 100% of his earnings.
Why We Built Cookzy
We believe that finding a reliable cook shouldn't be stressful, and working as a cook shouldn't be exploitative. We fix both sides of the equation.
For Households
Trust is the biggest barrier. Finding a cook who matches specific dietary needs, language, and schedule is incredibly difficult and time-consuming.
The Cookzy Solution: Hire a trusted, verified home cook in minutes. Cookzy gives you the ease of a modern platform with the trust of a family referral.
For Cooks
Finding consistent, well-paying work nearby usually meant paying hefty ongoing commissions to middlemen, agencies, or contractors.
The Cookzy Solution: Find the best-paying regular cooking jobs or high-value party gigs near your home, and keep 100% of your earnings.
