CookinGenie co-founders Sabah Drabu and Abhijit Ganguly were encouraged to solve the problem of families sacrificing health for convenience. They started CookinGenie in 2019 as an alternative for busy families to use a personal chef instead of eating out at restaurants. Customers pick the menu, “genie” chef, and time; CookinGenie does the grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. CookinGenie offers its services for any occasion and can handle large gatherings.

The Bad

  • Cost
  • Limited Service Area

Cost

Although specific pricing would require putting together an order, CookinGenie pricing is comparable to eating at an upscale restaurant. 

Limited Service Area

CookinGenie is currently operational in the areas of Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, Ohio. CookinGenie is hoping to expand nationally.

The Bottom Line

If you feel like you don't have time to plan meals and shop at the grocery store, but you still love home cooking, CookinGenie is a great option for you. Unfortunately, CookinGenie is only available in Ohio currently but hopes to expand. The company has rave reviews.

With meals, chefs, and services rendered all customizable, customers have all the options they want. Many clients are repeat customers and recommend its services.
