FAQ
Is Sevo delivery or pickup?
Both. Sevo empowers each chef to choose their model. At launch, you will find a mix of pickup and delivery options, determined by the chef's preference and neighborhood logistics.
How does verification work?
Structured checks ensure completeness, then our proprietary AI, built on ~1.28 million data points and trained on 10,000+ food-specific assets, reviews each listing for quality and safety. The marketplace grows smarter with every order.
Is Sevo only for home-chefs and consumers?
No. Home-chefs are just the start. We're perfecting verification here, then expanding to become the trusted home for all domestic services (laundry, make-up artists, etc.).
I’m a chef — how do I join?
We are currently curating our early chef network. Apply via the "Become a Chef" section below. Selected chefs will be notified for onboarding ahead of our public launch.
Can I interact with chefs or other users on Sevo?
Yes. Sevo’s social layer lets you follow chefs, see their latest creations, and engage with a community of food enthusiasts.
