Home Chef-specific things to know

Home Chef meal delivery subscriptions have specific timing requirements that might affect your cancellation.

5-day advance notice required
You must cancel or skip meals at least 5 days before your next scheduled delivery date to avoid being charged.
Deliveries continue until cancelled
Unlike some services, Home Chef doesn't automatically pause after cancelling. Make sure to complete the full cancellation process.
Contact support for urgent cancellations
If you're past the 5-day window, call customer service immediately. They may be able to help depending on your delivery status.

Before cancelling Home Chef

Check these details to avoid issues with your cancellation timing.

1. Check your next delivery date

Make sure you're cancelling with enough time before your next scheduled delivery. The 5-day notice requirement is strictly enforced.

2. Verify who's billing you

Some users have Home Chef through Kroger or other grocery store programs. Check your billing source if you can't find cancellation options.

3. Use remaining credits first

If you have account credits or promotional balances, use them before cancelling as they typically don't transfer or refund.

Other options to consider

If Home Chef feels too frequent or expensive, you might be able to adjust your plan instead of cancelling completely.

Reduce your meal frequency

Home Chef offers plans for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 meals per week. You can reduce the number of meals to lower your weekly cost.

  • 2 meals per week (2 servings each)

  • 3 meals per week (2-4 servings each)

  • 4+ meals per week (various serving sizes)

Skip deliveries temporarily

You can skip individual weeks or pause your subscription for up to 12 weeks. This lets you take a break without losing your account preferences.

More ways to cancel

If you can't cancel through your Home Chef account, you may need to contact customer service directly.

TV Provider / Reseller

Some Home Chef subscriptions are managed through grocery store partnerships like Kroger.

  • Kroger (if you signed up through Kroger Plus)

  • Other grocery store partnerships

Phone

You can cancel Home Chef by calling customer service, especially helpful if you're past the 5-day notice window.
