Hiring a cook in Noida
A good home cook is the difference between takeaway fatigue and fresh, home-style food every day. In Noida that usually means someone who can handle North Indian, Bengali, South Indian, and Jain or pure-veg cooking — and who can be there at the hours your household actually eats, not the hours that suit a roster.
Noida is a high-rise city, and almost every hire happens through a society gate app. That makes the practical question less 'who is available' and more 'who can actually get a pass for your tower' — worth settling before you agree anything else. On Sevetu you set the cuisine, the meals and the timings, agree the salary directly with the cook, and record it all in a digital work agreement. Sevetu never takes a commission — the wage you agree is the wage the cook keeps.
What kind of cook can you hire?
How to hire, in four honest steps

Review verified applicants
Compare experience, skills and ID verification at a glance — you always know who you are talking to.

Sign a digital agreement
What you both agreed is recorded in a simple digital work agreement — clear for both sides.
What should you pay cooks in Noida?
What actually sets the rate
Hours, how many people live in the house, exactly which tasks are included, whether the role is live-in, and how far the cook has to travel to reach you. Two households on the same street can pay very differently and both be fair.
Ask your own street first
An ILO and IIHS study of domestic work in Indian cities found households calibrate to the running rate in their own neighbourhood, and are reluctant to break it — which is why pay clusters tightly inside one society in Noida and jumps between them. Your building is a better guide than any city-wide average.
Then put it in writing
Salary, hours, weekly off, paid leave, notice period and festival bonus. Agreeing all six at the start is the single best thing you can do to make the arrangement last.
We do not publish a salary table for Noida, and that is deliberate. No independent source measures home-help pay reliably at city level, and a number we invented would only anchor you to a figure with nothing behind it. Work it out from the job in front of you, and agree it directly — Sevetu takes no commission either way.
How to get a police verification in Noida
Sevetu runs an identity (KYC) check — Aadhaar or government ID. That confirms a person is who they say they are. It is not a police or criminal-background check, and we will never describe it as one. What we do and do not check →
If you want a police check as well — and for live-in roles, childcare and drivers it is worth it — you arrange it yourself, and in Noida there is an official route. Uttar Pradesh Police handles it through employee and tenant verification, through the UPCOP app and the UP Police citizen portal. Gautam Buddh Nagar households can file employee and tenant verification online through UP Police citizen services, without a station visit unless the case is flagged.

Government processes change. Check the official Uttar Pradesh Police site for the current form, fee and documents before you apply. Sevetu is not affiliated with any police department.
Cooks across Noida
Sevetu is rolling out across Noida, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Post your job with your locality and verified cooks near you can apply — including Sector 62 · Sector 137 · Sector 150 · Noida Extension · Sector 78 · Sector 50 · Sector 128 · Sector 168 · Sector 93 · Sector 44 · Sector 121 · Greater Noida · Sector 76 · Sector 100 and more. Posting your exact area rather than just "Noida" gets you fewer applicants but far more who can realistically make the commute every day.
Where Sevetu is in Noida right now
Sevetu is newest in Noida — we started in Bengaluru and are opening city by city. Posting a job is free and takes about two minutes, and verified helpers in your area apply to it. If nobody suitable applies, you have lost nothing but the two minutes. We would rather tell you that than pretend to a roster we do not yet have.
Why hire through Sevetu

Frequently asked questions
Post your job with your locality — Sector 62, Sector 137, Sector 150 or wherever you are — plus the cuisine and the meal timings you need. Cooks in your part of the city apply and you pick.
We do not publish a rate card, on purpose. Cooking pay depends on how many meals, how many people, which cuisine, and how far the cook travels — and it settles neighbourhood by neighbourhood rather than city-wide. Decide what the work is worth in your own area and agree it directly; Sevetu takes nothing either way.
Yes. Applicants list the cuisines they actually cook, so you can choose someone who suits your family — North Indian, Bengali, South Indian, and Jain or pure-veg cooking, veg or non-veg. It is worth being specific about this before you hire rather than hoping it works out.
Cooks can carry a Verified badge from an identity (KYC) check against Aadhaar or a government ID, and you can review experience before you chat. It is an identity check, not a police or background check.
Yes. You set the timings when you post the job — morning only, two meals a day, full-time or live-in — and cooks who match those hours apply.
Usually the household provides the ingredients and groceries. Some cooks will also do the grocery shopping for an added amount, which you agree in chat before you hire.
You can, and you arrange it yourself — Uttar Pradesh Police runs employee and tenant verification, through the UPCOP app and the UP Police citizen portal. Sevetu does identity verification only.
Most speak some combination of Hindi, Bengali, Bhojpuri and English, and applicants list their languages on their profile.
