Chefo means Exact CountsProven DeliverySmart WalletsEasy Renewals

Chefo runs your meal subscriptions end to end — customers book or cancel before your cut-off, silent customers are auto-booked, your kitchen gets an exact plate count, and your delivery people record what happened at every doorstep.

Exact plate counts

Every service locks to a precise veg / non-veg count the instant your booking cut-off passes — no phone calls to the kitchen, no last-minute guesswork, and no plates cooked that nobody ordered.

Never miss a renewal

Customers who don't act before the deadline are booked automatically on their saved default meal and charged from their balance. Once anyone drops below three meals, their renewal surfaces on your dashboard without you having to check.

Every rupee itemized

Each subscription deducts a small platform fee straight from your wallet, and every entry in the ledger names the exact customer and service it was for — nothing rounded, nothing bundled, nothing you have to take on faith.

Proof at the doorstep

Your delivery person marks every stop delivered, or picks the real reason it wasn't. That record is saved permanently with their name and the time, so a dispute has an answer instead of two conflicting stories.

Who Chefo is for

Any place running recurring meal subscriptions — not just traditional canteens.

Office canteens

Run subscriptions for staff meals with exact daily counts your kitchen can plan around.

College & hostel messes

Handle large, shifting rosters with auto-booking, so no student's meal is ever missed by mistake.

PG & co-living kitchens

Manage recurring meal plans for residents alongside your regular walk-in service.

Corporate cafeterias

Give facilities teams a clean daily report and an itemized record of every meal served.

How it works

From registering your canteen to a permanent doorstep record, four honest steps — nothing hidden in between.

1

Register your canteen

Sign up with your FSSAI licence, choose the services and plans you want to offer, and get verified by the Chefo team before you go live.

2

Add customers in seconds

Verify a phone number at the counter, pick a plan, and hand over the generated U-ID — existing Chefo customers can join your canteen instantly with theirs.

3

Cook to the exact report

Bookings lock at your cut-off. Your daily report gives the precise veg and non-veg count for every service, so nothing is cooked on a guess.

4

Deliver with a permanent record

Your delivery person marks every stop in the Chefo Delivery app — delivered, or exactly why not — so a dispute has a timestamped answer, not two conflicting stories.

Delivery Assist

Create login accounts for your delivery people from your dashboard — you set the name and password, the login id generates itself. They see every booked customer with address and meal preference, then mark each stop with one of five real outcomes. Every mark saves permanently with a name and a timestamp, and only today can be edited; yesterday is locked for everyone, including them.

RejectedRefused by the customer at the door.

Wrong addressThe address was wrong, incomplete, or unfindable.

Wallet & renewals

Start with a ₹4,000 platform credit and no monthly fee. Every subscription — new, renewed, or topped-up — deducts a small transparent fee straight from your wallet, itemized by customer in your ledger. The moment anyone's balance drops below three meals, their renewal surfaces in your dashboard on its own, so you're never the one who has to remember.

How a renewal actually happens

The exact sequence, from a low balance to a permanent record — nothing waits on the customer to notice.

1

Balance drops low

The moment a customer's meal balance falls to fewer than three meals remaining, Chefo takes notice.

2

It surfaces on your dashboard

No customer has to ask — the renewal shows up in your Renewals list on its own, waiting for you.

3

You renew in one tap

Pick the plan, confirm, and the subscription continues without a gap in service or a missed meal.

4

It's on the record

Every renewal is itemized in the wallet ledger — the same permanent record as every other fee you charge.

What We Do

Everything a canteen owner needs to run subscriptions without a cash register — bookings, reports, delivery records, and your wallet, all in one dashboard.

Register your canteen

Subscription management

Monthly, fifteen-day, trial, or fully custom plans, tracked per customer. Renewals surface in your dashboard the moment anyone's meal balance runs low.

Daily reports

The exact veg and non-veg count for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, finalized the second your booking cut-off passes — hand it straight to your kitchen.

Delivery Assist

Create login accounts for your delivery people. They see every booked customer with address and preference, and mark each stop with one of five real outcomes, permanently.

Public canteen page

A live page on chefo.in with your menu, photos, and discount coupons, taking signups directly. You approve every request, and the customer gets their U-ID by email.

Request approvals

New subscriptions, meal top-ups, and cancellations all arrive as a request you accept or decline in one tap — every decision is timestamped.

Wallet & fees

Start with a ₹4,000 platform credit and no monthly fee. Every deduction is itemized by customer the moment it happens.

Every meal, configured your way

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner each get their own cut-off, their own price, and their own food type — set at signup or anytime after.

Per-service cut-off

Set a different booking deadline for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — each one locks independently of the others.

Per-plate pricing

Give each service its own price. Nothing here is permanent — change it anytime from Settings.

Veg, non-veg, or both

Offer either or both per service. Customers only ever see the choices you've actually turned on.

Your canteen page — on any device

Your public page on chefo.in — menu, coupons, and a direct signup link — at real scale, because your customers will open it on whatever they're holding.

Built on trust & security

The parts you don't see, working the way they should every single time.

OTP-verified sign-in

Every login and signup is confirmed with an SMS code — nobody gets in with just a password, not even you.

Hashed passwords

Passwords are hashed before they're ever stored. Chefo itself can't read your password back, and neither can anyone else.

Instant session control

Reset a password or disable an account and every existing session — yours or a delivery person's — is signed out immediately, everywhere.

FSSAI-verified canteens

Every registration is reviewed by the Chefo team against your food licence before it's allowed to go live.

Questions, answered

The practical things owners ask before registering.

Is there a setup fee?

No. You start with a ₹4,000 platform credit, and only a small per-meal fee applies as subscriptions are actually processed.

Do I need my menu and pricing finalized to sign up?

No — cut-off times and per-plate prices are optional at registration. Set them now, or anytime later from Settings.

Can I offer just one or two meal services?

Yes. Pick any combination of breakfast, lunch, and dinner — each has its own cut-off and pricing, independent of the others.

What happens if a customer doesn't book before the cut-off?

They're auto-booked on their saved default meal and charged from their wallet balance, so you never lose a plate to forgetfulness.

How do I add delivery staff?

From Delivery Assist in your dashboard — you set a name and password, and the login id is generated for you automatically.

Is this only for commercial canteens?

No — Chefo works for any recurring meal-subscription service: office canteens, hostel messes, PG kitchens, or college cafeterias.

Who approves new customer signups?

You do. Every signup, top-up, and cancellation request lands in your dashboard for a one-tap approval or decline.

Is my account secure?

Every sign-in is OTP-verified, passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text, and you can invalidate a lost device's session immediately.

Start with a ₹4,000 platform credit

No monthly fees. You pay a small per-meal platform fee, deducted from your wallet as subscriptions are processed — and every single deduction is itemized in your ledger with the customer it was for. Nothing hidden, nothing rounded.
