Chefs face challenges in finding quality employment and marketing their services to customers. In 2012, US and European startups established social marketplaces for chef services to solve these challenges; these start-ups are now valued at over $100 million. Cookello will be the first chef service marketplace in Canada, originating in Montreal and expanding to 4 major cities within the next 3 years. Similar to ebay, Cookello is a two-ended market, connecting customers with a diversity of local chefs; customers hire a chef for a cook event in their home after selecting from menus, services and availability. Customers obtain an intimate dining experience like no other. Cookello gets a 10% mark-up from transactions made on our marketplace; data mined from our website on customers's meal preferences are sold to chefs so they can optimize their menus; similar to LinkedIn, we offer a basic account to all chefs and charge fees for a "premium account" that provides additional services.
