Personal Chef Franchise for Seniors
Join the number one personal chef company in the US, on a mission to improve seniors' lives through food.
Brand overview
Chefs For Seniors was founded in 2013 by father-son team Barrett and Nathan Allman in Madison, Wisconsin. Barrett, a chef and restaurant owner for over 25 years, was inspired to start the business after seeing his wife's grandmother struggle to cook for herself. Today, the brand is family-owned and operated with independently owned locations across the country.
The service brings personal chefs directly into seniors' kitchens to prepare fresh, customized meals using local ingredients. Every chef is ServSafe certified, background-checked, and fully insured. Meals are tailored to each client's dietary needs, offering an affordable long-term alternative to meal delivery services and meal kits. With the belief that food is medicine, Chefs For Seniors is dedicated to improving quality of life one meal at a time.
