An appearance fee
Agreed one to one and paid on the night. Starting points are below.
For guest cooks, Visakhapatnam
Cook your signature for one night. We bring the team and the crowd.
Your signature dish, one Friday in Vizag, a team behind you. Tell us what you want and we will be straight with you.
What we can offer
Not the same package for everyone. Tell us what matters to you and we build the offer from that. We carry the cost and the risk.
A share of tickets
From 10% of ticket sales, more if you bring your own crowd.
Ingredients bought
Costed with you and bought after the tickets sell. You never front the cash.
A team behind you
A support kitchen cooks the soup, starters, sides and dessert. You own the signature.
Credit and content
Your name on the menu, and photos and video you can use on your own page.

What we ask of you
A kitchen audition
Three dishes in the room's kitchen, scored on taste, hygiene, presentation, speed, creativity and communication.
A signature you are proud of
One main, or more if you want, costed with us. The team does the rest of the meal, and you taste and sign it off.
Food safety basics
A clean station, a temperature log and an allergen sheet. A food handler certificate helps.
A full prep day
Room access from about 2:00 pm, service in the evening. Times are set with the room.
Tell your people, if you want to
Reels and stories are optional. They help if you are asking for a bigger fee or share.
Terms in writing
Fee, share and content agreed on paper before any ticket is sold.
How it goes
- NowTell us what you want. We message you on WhatsApp.
- This weekA short call about your number, your dishes and your dates.
- Before ticketsA kitchen audition in the room, and terms in writing.
- Tickets openWe check sales together before anything is bought.
- The nightDate to be announced. We tell you first.
Still open: the date, the space (an event space or a hall with its own kitchen, no restaurant kitchens for now), how many guests, the ticket price for the complete meal, and your fee. That is why we are asking you. If tickets are not selling well, we tell you straight and change the date or the size with you.
Are you in?
Answer what you can. A reply is not a commitment, and "I have doubts" is a useful answer.
Thank you.
We will message you on WhatsApp. Know another cook who should see this?
Questions cooks ask
Do I have to cook the whole meal?
No. A guest is paying for a complete dinner, so a team cooks the soup, starters, sides and dessert. You own the signature and sign off the rest, or you cook more if you want to.
Do I need my own restaurant?
No. We use an event space or a hall with its own kitchen. You bring the cooking.
Do I pay anything?
No. You do not pay to take part and you do not front the ingredients.
Who owns my recipes?
You do. We print the dish names, not the method.
Is the fee guaranteed?
The fee and your share are agreed in writing before tickets open and paid on the night. If we have to cancel, we tell you straight away and agree what is fair.
What if I am not sure?
Send the form with your doubts in the last box. We would rather hear them now.
