This isn’t your typical catering service. This is personal dining, done your way.

“Don’t Wait to Plate”: The Platesfull Origin Story

Before Platesfull became Texas’s largest personal chef marketplace, it was just an idea scribbled on a whiteboard in 2019 by founder Sheela Rodrigues. What started as a brainstorm with her co-founder and son quickly turned into something real: domain registered, LLC filed, dreams in motion.

‍

Then, the pandemic hit. And everything paused.

‍

But in 2024, Platesfull returned with more drive than ever. “We believed, then and now, that this is a real pain point that needs solving,” Sheela says. Hosting is hard. People want to spend time together, not stuck in the kitchen or coordinating delivery.

‍

Today, Platesfull helps hosts across Texas book fully vetted chefs and mixologists who deliver personalized menus, accommodate dietary needs, and bring their own flavor (literally and figuratively) to your party.

‍

What Makes Platesfull Different

Here’s five things that separates Platesfull from other dinner party ideas in Texas:

‍

Whether you’re craving tapas, tacos, vegan comfort food, or a boozy brunch, Platesfull chefs build custom menus tailored to your group’s tastes, budget, and vibe.

‍

2. One-Stop Service

Platesfull handles grocery shopping, prep, cooking, serving, and post-party cleanup. Yes, really.

‍

3. Vetted Talent You Can Trust

Every chef and mixologist is background-checked and vetted for quality and professionalism. So go ahead…be loud, have fun, and relax. You’re in good hands.

‍

4. Custom Cocktails Too

Add a mixologist to your party and sip on luxurious, Instagram-worthy drinks all night long. No solo bartending shifts or questionable punch bowls required.

‍
