This literally sounds too good to be true.
I found no contact or company information on their website, except 2 email adresses. I can't verify if this is just a clever way of mass deploying a stealth botnet or something.
Will you trust them?

So, it doesn't seem to be too good to be true, at least to me. My guess is that this is an MVP for a product designed to put a non-awful UI on top of Chef (Opscode's SaaS product is, imho, borderline unusable).
That said, there is a high bar here for trust, no doubt about it.
If you find a way to generate install scripts that can be inspected before those are run or the service is providing the scripts to be run from a local Chef server that might be an interesting approach.
(And if you look through the install output, you'll also see where they get stored on your server if you want to review anything that's being done.)
I'm just better at building things than trying to write marketing collateral.
