About us

Our story

Good Chefs

Good Chefs was founded by Erik Hilgers and Stan Burgman, two freelance chefs who still regularly work in the kitchen themselves. Their experience is the foundation of our personal, hands-on approach.
‍
We place more than 250 chefs across the Netherlands and deliver complete culinary productions, high-end catering and exclusive events. From concept and purchasing to execution and aftercare, we take the entire culinary operation off your hands.
‍
Thanks to our roots in the trade, our network and our eye for quality, we are a reliable partner for clients and freelancers alike. Together we are building the new standard in hospitality staffing.

The tastemakers behind Good Chefs!

Daan van Dijk

I started working for Good Chefs about two years ago and I really like it. Lots of clarity, good communication and a wide range of jobs. The direct communication makes you feel truly valued!

Sjors Streekstra

I have been working with Good Chefs as a freelance chef for three years now, and I enjoy it a lot. The personal contact, clear communication and good guidance really make the difference. The assignments are a perfect match for my skills and ambitions. You can tell that everyone is involved and knows what they are talking about. Good Chefs offers the freedom of freelancing with the security of a professional agency. No fuss, just well organised. Highly recommended if you like variety and clarity.

Working as a freelancer within a close-knit team was new to me. Good Chefs has a strong team, so I keep learning with every job and enjoy my work.
