Company Description
Lean Onn helps households eat well at home without the daily effort of planning and managing meals. The company offers nutritionist-designed meal plans and places trained cooks in clients’ own kitchens to prepare these meals with the right ingredients. Lean Onn focuses on consistent, better eating for families while reducing the burden of meal planning, sourcing, and execution. Clients keep their existing kitchens, while Lean Onn streamlines how those kitchens are run for efficiency and quality.
Role Description
We are looking for a Private Chef cum Culinary Trainer to work closely with the founders and build the culinary layer of LeanOnn from the ground up. LeanOnn puts a nutritionist-designed meal plan and a trained cook inside a family's own kitchen.
What you will do
- Cook the week's nutritionist-designed plan in our member households; everyday Indian home food, weighed and portioned to each family member's nutrition targets
- Build and run the training program for the home cooks we hire who can cook but were never formally taught
- Set the kitchen standards: hygiene, knife work, standard recipes, portioning, and conduct inside a member's home
- Write and maintain standard recipes with raw quantities, yields and substitutions, so any trained cook can reproduce a dish the same way
- Work alongside the nutritionist to keep plans practical for a real home kitchen and a real family's taste
- Work directly with pilot families and adapt to their feedback
- Review dish execution from our cook app and coach cooks on what to fix
What are we looking for
- Diploma in Food Production, Craftsmanship Certificate in Food Production & Patisserie, or an equivalent catering / hotel management diploma. Degree holders welcome, but this is a hands-on kitchen role
- 2 to 6 years of experience on a line: hotel, QSR, cloud kitchen, catering or institutional all count
- Strong everyday Indian home cooking. Dal, sabzi, roti, chawal, the food a family eats. This matters to us more than plating does
- Comfortable working in a family's home kitchen rather than a commercial one
- Ability to teach, to stand next to someone who does not know, and correct without taking over
- Hindi essential. Working English useful for our internal tools
- Curiosity about food data, macros and technology is a big plus
Working hours: Day shift. No late-night service, no split shifts
Salary: ₹3,60,000 – ₹4,80,000 per annum (₹30,000 – ₹40,000 per month, in hand), based on experience
This is an early-stage, hands-on role where you will have significant ownership in shaping how LeanOnn cooks, how our cooks are trained, and what "good" means inside a member's kitchen.
Hiring process: a 15-minute phone call, then a paid test kitchen (you cook, and then you teach one dish to someone untrained), then a conversation with the founders. We come back to you within two days of the test, either way.
If you are excited about combining food + training + technology to solve a real problem for families, we would love to hear from you.
