Common issues
I see 'Pause' — is that the same as cancelling?
No. Pausing skips deliveries temporarily but keeps your subscription active. Click 'Cancel account' to fully cancel and stop future charges.
Can I skip a week instead of cancelling?
Yes — Home Chef allows skipping individual weeks from your account dashboard. This is useful if you need a break but plan to continue.
