SHAREDINE（シェアダイン） is a personal chef service platform in Japan. Its core business is not traditional physical e-commerce, but local lifestyle service matching: users book registered dietitians, restaurant chefs, and other cooks to come to their homes based on location, time, and use case. The site states that it has around 6,000 registered chefs, covering needs such as 作り置き meal prep, family-style cooking lessons, party meals, prenatal and postpartum support, baby food, fat-loss and fitness meals, meals for lifestyle-related diseases, and allergy-friendly dishes.
The platform has a fairly mature way of productizing its services: each chef has package pages with pricing, service duration, service area, sample menus, work history, and user reviews. Common packages include 3-hour sessions with 8–12 dishes, as well as 2-hour trial plans, 5-hour course meals, and party plans for groups of 10 or more. Fulfillment is mainly through chefs visiting the user’s home. Some packages offer grocery shopping on behalf of the user; the FAQ states that this does not incur an extra fee, but the chef’s in-home service time will be 30 minutes shorter than usual. Users need to prepare a basic kitchen environment, seasonings, containers, and some cooking tools.
Registration is free. The platform says services start from 8,800 yen per session. Displayed prices include consumption tax and transportation fees, with many examples on the site ranging from 9,900 to 16,500 yen. Ingredient costs are usually charged separately and borne by the user. Some party or delivery plans are priced per person and may include ingredient costs. For payment, service fees are mainly paid by credit card; debit cards are charged at the time of booking. Some ingredient reimbursements support cash or PayPay, while larger-scale or corporate use cases may support invoice payment.
Its strengths are detailed segmentation by scenario and relatively rich chef profiles and reviews. It suits Japan-based users who lack time to cook, families with children, postpartum recovery needs, elderly care situations, fitness or blood-sugar-control diets, and home gatherings. On the chef side, it is suitable for people with restaurant, cook, or nutrition-related qualifications who can design standardized menus and provide local in-home services. Its limitations are that service availability depends heavily on chef coverage, and some packages are limited to areas such as Tokyo or Saitama. Ingredient costs are charged separately, so the final cost needs to be confirmed through communication. For users not living in Japan, practical usability is relatively low.
The text does not provide information on access from mainland China, a Chinese-language interface, or China-based payment options, so china_access can only be assessed as unknown. Even if the site is accessible, service fulfillment is mainly limited to designated cities in Japan, so it has little cross-border e-commerce relevance for Chinese sellers or consumers. Chinese users can instead consider local private chef services, housekeeping cooking services, ready-to-cook or prepared meal platforms, or food delivery. Chinese residents in Japan may use it as a premium supplement to domestic and food-related home services.
