Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Easy Platter, operated by Krava Inc., is a Halifax, Nova Scotia-based marketplace that matches households with vetted personal chefs who travel to the customer's home and cook meals in the customer's kitchen using the customer's groceries. Customers enter a postal code, dietary preferences and family size to be matched with a chef, select dishes from the company's recipe catalogue or upload recipes from outside sources such as Google, TikTok, Instagram or cookbooks, and receive an auto-generated grocery list. The chef cooks for roughly two to two-and-a-half hours depending on the number of recipes, stores the finished meals in containers provided by the customer, and cleans up; chefs do not shop for groceries, plate or serve meals.

The platform handles weekly menu planning, recipe selection, nutrition tracking, scheduling, payments and rescheduling. Menus can be tailored to dietary requirements including celiac, diabetes-friendly, vegan and keto. Supporting policies include a 48-hour free cancellation window, partial refunds for cancellations 24–48 hours ahead, an overtime charge of $49.99 per hour, optional grocery delivery through an Instacart partnership, gift cards, and a referral program offering $25 to the referrer and $30 to the referred friend. An AI-powered assistant named Alex answers customer questions on the site. [0][2][3]
