About SRVE
The craft is yours. The business should be, too.
Chefs and bartenders build their reputation in restaurants, at events, and in homes. SRVE gives them the storefront, the client list, and the margins that come with it.
Why we’re building SRVE
Hospitality talent has always been bigger than the buildings it works in. Chefs and bartenders carry their craft with them — but the business side stayed behind: the brand, the bookings, the payment systems, the client lists.
SRVE exists to hand that infrastructure to the professional. Your storefront, your customer relationships, your pricing, your margins — organized in one platform built specifically for personal chefs and private bartenders.
We started in Los Angeles connecting private chefs with clients, and we’ve served our community along the way — from meal drives for healthcare workers to supporting neighbors experiencing homelessness. That commitment continues as we build.
What we believe
Ownership over gigs
We’re a business platform, not a gig marketplace. Professionals build equity in their own brand.
Professionals first
Every workflow is designed around how chefs and bartenders actually work — menus, guest counts, deposits, shopping lists, service days.
Community matters
From USPCA partnership to meal drives, we invest in the people and communities behind the craft.
