The couple decided not to venture out during the lockdown and was wary of ordering from restaurants. “We thought that the safest way to order food was through home chefs. They give freshly-cooked and more hygienic meals,” says Chhabria. But after a point, they started feeling the need to have more options. That’s when the idea of YourShef came about. Even as she's doing trial runs of the app, the formal launch is expected in early December. To put it simply, what Zomato and Swiggy are for restaurants, YourShef is for home chefs and privatelyowned kitchens.
