A few things to understand before hiring a Personal/Private Chef:
What is a PC?
A Personal or Private Chef is literally a Chef for hire. It;s a step above a caterer/catering company. When you hire me, you are hiring a Chef for the day, event, week, etc. Personal Chef usually refers to a Chef carrying out a few weekly meals, events, catering, etc. Private Chef is an exclusive hire paid by yearly salary. The Private Chef works exclusively for one family.
$$$
I am not the most expensive, and I am not the least expensive. Hiring anyone to do the cooking for you will never be "cheap"; meaning you can always spend significantly less when you buy the groceries and do it yourself. Please understand before starting this process that you are inquiring about the services of someone who is educated, professional, experienced, talented, and will do all of the planning, creating, shopping, prepping, cooking, and setting up (if you choose) for your event/meal.
MENUS
Hiring a Chef is a high-quality service that some would even call a luxury. However you view it, you will receive my undivided attention to your culinary needs. I will custom design a menu based on you, your event, your guests, etc. I will spend time talking with you to pinpoint the best of the best food for your event, even if this is weekly meals. I do not have menus to send out for you to choose from. I can prepare anything your culinary mind can request or dream up. When hiring a caterer, yes you should receive a menu to choose from. When hiring a Chef, you should receive a custom designed menu tailored to your specific needs.
Why are deposits nonrefundable with PC's and Caterers?
Your deposit pays for a day. Once that date has been given to you, your professional starts turning away other clients for that same day. If you choose to cancel or abandon the agreement, your professional has not only lost the remainder of your business, but has said no to others who could have been given that date. Your professional has also started working for you and on behalf of you in creating a menu and most likely started a purchasing order, maybe even carrying out some purchases for your event. The date, time spent, and anything purchased must be covered and this is the purpose of the deposit.
