FAQs

What is RISO?

RISO is a shared private chef service delivering fresh weekday dinners to Bay Area families. We take care of the planning, shopping, and cooking, with seasonal menus inspired by Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and California cuisine.

Where do you deliver?

We deliver to select areas of San Francisco, the Peninsula, and the South Bay, including home and office addresses. Contact us with your address to confirm coverage and availability. We don’t currently deliver to the East Bay.

How many people does each dinner serve?

Each dinner includes four dishes, generally suited to two adults and one or two children. We offer one portion size, and many two-adult households also enjoy our service.

Can you accommodate our food preferences?

We’ll ask about your household’s preferences and dietary needs before you start, then tailor meals within our seasonal weekly menu. Please discuss any allergies with us before booking so we can confirm whether we can accommodate them.

What ingredients do you use?

Our menus feature seasonal and organic ingredients, along with locally sourced fish. We use only organic olive oil or organic avocado oil for cooking, with a light hand on salt and oil for meals that are comforting and full of flavor.

How do I get started?

Explore our three-, four-, or five-day plans on the Services page, then contact us with your address and preferred schedule. We’ll confirm availability when space opens up. If we’re fully booked, you’re welcome to join our waiting list.
