How do I cancel Home Chef?
2 min Self-serve No fee To cancel
Short answer
Cancel Home Chef from Account Settings by choosing Pause My Account and finishing the confirmation prompts. It takes about 2 minutes and stops future deliveries and charges indefinitely, but cancel before Friday at 12 p.m. Central to avoid the next box. Orders finalized after the cutoff are not refunded; qualifying product issues can be reported within seven days.

Refunds, downgrades, pausing and your data
Four questions people ask before they cancelCan I get my money back?
A Home Chef order finalized after the Friday 12 p.m. Central cutoff cannot be cancelled or refunded. A defective product may qualify for an account credit or refund when reported within seven days. A delivery refused after a documented timely skip, pause, or cancellation qualifies for a credit or full refund, including shipping, within 30 days.
Is there a cheaper way to stay?
The number of meals, servings and products can be changed in the account. Customers can also switch between the Home Chef Plan and Family Plan, which have different per-serving pricing.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
Pause My Account stops deliveries and recurring charges indefinitely until the account is reactivated. Individual deliveries can also be skipped before the weekly cutoff.
What happens to my account data?
Permanent account and personal-information deletion is separate from pausing the subscription. The official deletion form removes saved information, order history and preferences, and a returning customer must create a new account.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pause My Account cancel Home Chef?
Yes. Home Chef describes pausing as the effective cancellation route and says it stops deliveries and recurring charges indefinitely.
What is the Home Chef cancellation deadline?
Friday at 12 p.m. Central in the week before the next Home Chef delivery.
Does cancelling stop my first Home Chef order?
No. The first order is scheduled automatically and cancellation does not cancel it or another order already processed.
Can I get a refund for an order after the cutoff?
No. Orders already finalized, processed or shipped cannot be cancelled or refunded.
Does pausing delete my Home Chef account?
No. Permanent deletion uses a separate request and removes saved information, order history and preferences.
