What We Value

Our Community of Cooks

The ChefSteps founders, along with many of our team members, came of age in the hospitality industry. And a commitment to going above and beyond for our community of cooks informs everything we do. From standard-bearing customer service to intensive user research, we are wholly dedicated to creating the best products for our cooks, and to continuing to improve their experiences over time.

Experimentation and Exploration

We’re always striving to create better experiences for our users, and that requires throwing a lot against the wall. Ground your ideas with data and a sensible framework and seek support from your teammates, and you’ll discover plenty of freedom to try new things.

Shipping on Quality

Our users tell us that our brand is about quality and unparalleled design, and we are unwilling to compromise on either. We take the time to develop products and content that will make a real impact on the kitchen of the future. If it won’t dramatically improve life for our community of cooks—and look damn good doing it—why bother building it at all?
