RE Log Fall 2019

FALL 2019 Ransom Everglades LOG 83 Sabrina Beraja launched her startup Chefit, a platform for personal chefs at restaurant prices, with her cousin and co-founder Matt Redler. They have been working together since the end of March and have quickly gained traction from chefs and customers craving restaurant- quality food served fresh in their homes. Chefs create their own specialty menus, bring the ingredients to your home and cook within 1.5 hours – for the same price as dining out at a restaurant! Chefit currently has 20 chefs online (with many more in the pipeline) and has completed over 100 dinners in the South Florida area, generating $15,500 since inception. Family and friends have come together to support their idea, but they’re always looking for more – whether that be inves- tors or eaters!
