Where private chefs are needed
Seasonal and permanent work
Demand for chefs rises in the holiday season, when families move to their villas and host more guests.
Royal Keeper staff work across Europe (Austria, England, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, Monaco, France, Montenegro, Switzerland), in the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), the USA, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and other countries. We offer both seasonal contracts and permanent positions in residences.
Terms for candidates
Registration, interviews and preparation are free for candidates. In some cases a fee may apply, but only after successful placement and depending on the vacancy.
We take into account your cuisine, restaurant or private-household experience, languages and preferred format, so we can offer families that will value you as a professional.
How the job works
Cooking for one family, not a dining room
A private chef cooks for specific people and knows their tastes better than any restaurant: who avoids gluten, who follows a sports diet, which dishes the children love. The job usually covers breakfasts, lunches and dinners for the family, menus for guests and receptions, grocery shopping and kitchen management.
For chefs
A kitchen where your style is valued
We match vacancies to what you cook best: Mediterranean, Asian or Russian cuisine, children's or special diets, fine dining for receptions. That way you join a family that needs your experience rather than one that just needs someone to feed them. Send a request with photos of your dishes or a portfolio link and we will suggest suitable families.
