Where the work is

Which parts of Bangalore have cook work

Cook work is shaped by the clock, not just the map. One house takes an hour to an hour and a half, and most families want you morning and evening, so three houses is a full day and six is not possible. That makes the distance between your houses matter more than almost anything else: two kitchens in the same complex beats four spread across the city, every time.

The east and the Outer Ring Road (Whitefield, Marathahalli, Bellandur and Sarjapur Road) hold the most cook jobs in the city, and the most families who have moved here from north India. Roti, sabzi and dal every evening is the bulk of the work, and a cook who does north Indian food well will rarely be short of it. HSR Layout and Koramangala sit between the two worlds and ask for both.

South and west Bangalore (Jayanagar, JP Nagar and BTM Layout) run on breakfast. Idli, dosa, rice and a morning start, often in independent houses rather than towers, and often for families who have kept the same cook for years. Fewer openings than the corridor, but they last. Indiranagar and Hebbal are mixed, with more single professionals wanting one simple meal a day. Electronic City has steady demand and noticeably fewer cooks competing for it.

Say which cuisine you cook in your profile. It is the single line that decides which half of Bangalore will call you, and being specific gets you more work, not less.

What families look for

What Bangalore families ask cooks for

Knowing what families actually filter on is the difference between ten applications and one reply.

Languages. Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi or English. List every one you speak
Timings you can genuinely keep, every day, not just most days
Which area you live in, so they know you can reach them
The cuisines you actually cook: South Indian, North Indian, Andhra, Bengali, Jain
A completed profile with a photo. Incomplete profiles get skipped
A verified badge from the one-time ID check

Cuisine is the filter that decides most cook hires in Bangalore, and honesty about it pays. Listing a cuisine you cannot really cook gets you hired once and replaced in a fortnight; listing the three you cook well gets you a family that keeps you for years.

Know this before you start

What you should never pay to get a job

Placement agents across Bangalore charge domestic workers to be placed: a joining fee, a registration fee, a cut of the first month, or a monthly deduction that never stops. Some ask to hold original documents. None of that is necessary and none of it is something you have to accept.

Sevetu charges workers nothing. No registration fee, no placement fee, no cut of your salary
Never hand over original documents: your Aadhaar card stays with you
Nobody should take a cut of your monthly pay after placing you once
You agree your own salary directly with the family, in the app
Whatever you agree is what you are paid, with nothing deducted
Anyone asking you to pay to use Sevetu is not from Sevetu

We say this plainly because most of the platforms competing for your attention are the agents taking the fee. If something feels wrong, tell us. You can report it without giving your name.

Getting hired

Five things that get you hired faster

Families in Bangalore usually pick from the first few cooks who apply and look right. These move you into that group.

Get verified first. The one-time Aadhaar check takes minutes and families filter on it
Reply the same day. Most households hire within a week of posting
List every language you speak, not only your first
Be specific about your hours: "mornings" loses to "7am to 10am, six days"
Name your area and how far you can travel
Offer a trial meal. Most families who hire a cook long-term started with one
Your side of it

Six things to agree before your first day

These are the same six things we tell families to write down. Agreeing them at the start protects you as much as it protects them, and Sevetu records all six in a digital work agreement you both accept.

Your salary, and the date it is paid each month
Your hours and days, exactly which ones
The meals included, and whether groceries or dishes are your job
One fixed weekly off, plus how leave works
Notice period, the same on both sides
Festival bonus. A month's pay at Diwali is common in Bangalore

If work keeps being added that you never agreed to, the agreement is what you point at. How verification and the agreement work →
