Verified cook available for full-time hire through neato in Delhi NCR

A cook is the household hire families are fussiest about, and rightly so — it is the one role judged three times a day. So the request asks the questions that actually decide the match: how many members in the house, how many meals, vegetarian, non-vegetarian or both, and how many hours a day you need someone in the kitchen.

Every cook is background-verified before you meet them, and the placement is full-time rather than a per-visit booking, so the same person learns your kitchen instead of a new one arriving each week.

What the request asks, and why

Matching a cook on cuisine alone produces a bad placement. These are the fields that decide it.

  • Veg, non-veg or both

    A kitchen that never cooks meat and one that does are different jobs, and cooks are matched accordingly.

  • Total members and meals

    Cooking for three and cooking for nine are different workloads — this is what sets the shift length.

  • Daily working hours

    Two-meal mornings, split shifts or a full-time kitchen presence.

  • Staff preference

    Male, female or no preference, asked on the form and matched against.

  • Servant room

    Determines whether a live-in cook is possible at your property.

Shifts you can book

A full-time cook covers all meals; shorter shifts usually cover breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner.

  • 8 hours
  • 10 hours
  • 12 hours
  • Full time
  • Live-in

How every profile is verified

The screening happens before a candidate is recommended, not after you have agreed to hire. It is the same process for household, retail and facility placements.

  • Identity verification
  • Aadhaar checks
  • Police verification records, where available
  • Skill assessment for the role
  • Documented profile records

Questions

What people ask about this service

Answers specific to this role. The full list of common questions is on the home page.

Can I get a cook for a specific cuisine?

Tell us on the request — the form has a special requirements field for exactly this, alongside the vegetarian and non-vegetarian preference. We match on it where we have a cook who genuinely cooks it rather than claiming every cook cooks everything.

Do you place live-in cooks?

Yes, where a servant room is available. A live-in cook covers all meals and is the usual arrangement for larger households.

What if the food is not what we expected?

Raise it with support and we arrange the next cook. Taste is the one thing no verification process can check for you, so the replacement is the answer rather than the screening.
