About Home Chef

Home Chef is a Chicago-based meal-kit and prepared-meal delivery service. They ship pre-portioned ingredients and chef-designed recipes weekly. According to Epicurious, Home Chef is generally cheaper than competing kits. Customers can customize proteins on most recipes, mix meal kits with prepared meals, skip weeks, or cancel from the account dashboard.

Need help with an order, a discount, or your account? The Home Chef support team can be reached by phone at 872-225-2433. Their operating hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. CT. You can also contact them by email at [email protected] or through the contact form on their website. Phone lines are closed on Sunday, so we suggest using the contact form or help center articles instead.

How to skip, pause, or cancel before the weekly cutoff

Skipping or pausing on time is the best way to avoid a charge you did not want. Home Chef orders are finalized and charged every Friday at 12:00 p.m. CT for the upcoming delivery week. To stop the next order, log in, open Account Settings or Account Info, and choose Pause My Account before the deadline. Tempo by Home Chef uses a different cutoff of Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. CT, so check the brand on your account if you subscribe to both.

Once the cutoff passes, the order is finalized and the ingredients are sourced. Home Chef cannot cancel or refund orders that are already finalized, processed, or shipped because the food is perishable. We recommend waiting for the confirmation email after pausing or canceling, since that is your proof that the change was saved.

As soon as your plans shift, you go on vacation, or you still have meals left in the fridge, log in and skip the upcoming week or pause the account. Pausing keeps your account and any lifetime perks active. If you cancel fully and later return, some recurring perks may not be reinstated.

Frequently asked questions about Home Chef

Heroes discount for military, first responders, medical staff, and teachers

Verified heroes can score great savings at Home Chef. Active military, veterans, first responders, doctors, nurses, hospital employees, and teachers receive 50% off the first box (up to $60) and a lifetime 10% off future orders. They will also get free shipping on the first box and a free dessert item for life. Verification runs through ID.me during sign-up, and we like that the 10% keeps applying every week with no code to remember.

A few details we want you to know before ordering. The offer is one per household and cannot be combined with gift cards or other sign-up offers. Shipping fees apply after the first box, and Home Chef can modify the free dessert offer at any time. If you cancel and then reactivate later, the lifetime perks may not come back. So we recommend pausing instead of canceling whenever possible.

How to use a Home Chef coupon

Most savings at Home Chef attach automatically when you click our link, but here is the full flow if you have a manual code or recurring discount.

  1. Pick your offer first. New customer codes must be used during sign-up. Heroes and USAA discounts are added in your Billing Information page after the account exists.

  2. Open the offer link from our page to load the coupon onto the Home Chef page.

  3. Build your box. Choose your plan size, number of meals, and weekly servings.

  4. Enter the coupon in the field on the payment page if your offer requires manual entry. Type it exactly as shown, then select Apply.

  5. Check Order Summary before paying. The discount should show as a separate line, and your final total should drop.

Place the order only after the total updates. If the total does not change, pause and troubleshoot before you submit payment.
