Kitchit

Kitchit was a food tech startup based in San Francisco, founded in 2011.

The company connected customers with local professional chefs for in-home dining experiences. Users could book chefs who created customized menus, handled ingredient shopping, cooked, served, and cleaned up in the client's kitchen. Kitchit aimed to elevate home meals beyond traditional restaurant offerings, emphasizing the role of food in fostering community. The service allowed customers to enjoy private meals for various occasions, including dinners, parties, and cooking lessons. Pricing typically ranged from $25 to $100 per person, depending on the menu. Kitchit also introduced a weekday prix-fixe menu called "Kitchit Tonight" in 2014. The company primarily operated in the Bay Area and Los Angeles before ceasing operations around 2016 after serving over 100,000 dinners.
