Chef Coach
Location & Work Schedule
Location: Indiranagar, Bangalore (Visits to local member homes)
Engagement Type: Part-time / Field visits
Visit Cadence: 2 hours per week for each assigned household
Schedule & Availability: Flexible timing during the week; weekend availability preferred
Important Note: This is a flexible, field-based role — you visit assigned homes on your own schedule, with weekend slots generally in higher demand.
About M
At M - we’re early, ambitious, and moving fast. We’re building a new category in how urban
households function. We help households run smoothly through trained professionals,
operational excellence, and AI-driven support systems.
Backed by Peak XV Partners, Blume Ventures and CRED we’re reimagining how homes
run, so people never have to think about chores again.
As we scale, we're looking for Chef Coaches who can elevate home dining experience by
coaching home cooks to deliver exceptional quality, consistency, and tailored care in every
meal.
This is a great way to earn flexible income using cooking skills you already have — on your own schedule, without giving up your main job or routine.
The Role
As a Chef Coach, your job is to teach and guide domestic home cooks directly in the kitchens where they work.
You will NOT be doing the daily family cooking yourself. Instead, you will act as a friendly guide and trainer. You will visit each assigned household once a week for 2 hours to watch how the cook works, correct their cooking habits, teach kitchen cleanliness and basic pantry setup, and create weekly menus for the family.
Compensation & Earning Potential
Your pay is based on the number of households you look after (up to a maximum of 4 households per coach). The more homes you visit, the more you earn every month.
Per-Visit Pay: ₹1,500 per house per week
(This covers your 1 weekly 2-hour visit + creating a simple weekly menu for that family).
Monthly Bonus: ₹4,000 per month per house
(To earn this bonus for a household, you must complete all 4 weekly visits in the month AND conduct 1 fortnightly recorded training session teaching cooks a specific dish/recipe).
Simple Monthly Pay Examples:
Managing 1 House: 4 visits (₹6,000) + ₹4,000 Bonus = ₹10,000 / month
Managing 2 Houses: 8 visits (₹12,000) + ₹8,000 Bonus = ₹20,000 / month
Managing 3 Houses: 12 visits (₹18,000) + ₹12,000 Bonus = ₹30,000 / month
Managing 4 Houses: 16 visits (₹24,000) + ₹16,000 Bonus = ₹40,000 / month
What You'll Do
Coach & Develop Household Cooks :
● Train & Up skill Home Cooks: Spend 2 hours each week with the cook in their working kitchen. Watch how they work, show them proper cooking techniques, correct bad habits gently, and teach daily hygiene and safe food handling.
● Teach Household-Specific Dishes: Teach home cooks specific dishes requested by the family. You can bring recipes from your own culinary expertise or easily learn special household recipes based on your culinary understanding to guide the cook step-by-step.
● Build Confidence & Support: Create a friendly, comfortable environment where cooks feel encouraged to ask questions, learn without fear, and take pride in their work.
● Conduct Recorded Recipe Trainings: Every two weeks (fortnightly), take a short training session teaching our cooks a specific recipe or dish. These sessions will be recorded so cooks across M can rewatch and learn anytime.
● Improve Food Taste & Quality: Ensure meals are delicious, well-presented, and prepared cleanly. Help cooks troubleshoot recipe mistakes or cooking challenges.
● Plan Tailored Weekly Menus: Talk to the family to understand their dietary habits and restrictions, then create simple, balanced weekly menus.
● Guide Kitchen Organization: Show cooks how to neatly organize pantry items, keep track of basic stock, and avoid wasting food. (We will train you on our simple system so you can easily guide them).
● Share Brief Progress Updates: Keep simple notes on how the cook is improving and share quick updates with the M team after your visits.
What We're Looking For
● Experience: 1+ years of experience in cooking, catering, hotel or restaurant kitchens, culinary training, or home economics. (Note: Prior experience in inventory management is not required; we will train you).
● Cooking Basics: Strong knowledge of everyday Indian cooking, regional dishes, and basic western or popular international dishes.
● Clear Communication: Ability to explain cooking steps simply and clearly to home cooks.
● High Empathy & Respect: A deep respect for domestic cooks and a genuine passion for helping them learn and succeed.
You'll Thrive Here If You...
● Feel deeply energized and rewarded by empowering domestic home cooks and helping them build better livelihoods.
● Love teaching and passing on your cooking knowledge more than cooking full meals yourself.
● Have maximum patience, warmth, empathy, and respect for home cooks.
● Enjoy flexible, short home visits over long, tiring kitchen shifts.
Why Join Us?
● Earn flexible income using skills you already have — no new training required to start.
● Choose how many households you take on, from 1 to 4, and grow your earnings at your own pace. ● Make a visible, meaningful difference in how a family eats every day.
● Be part of a fast-growing team building something new in how homes run.
