FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
There are many different variables to consider when providing a quote to a potential client. These factors include: type of event, the number of people being served and time of year. Prices may also increase if you are requesting multiple courses, such as salads and desserts be included, or just a main dish with no sides. We like to have a conversation to get a feel for what the client has in mind. This can be done via Thumbtack App, email or phone. Based on the information provided we give a more formalized quote which lists deposit requirements, etc. We are very flexible and can offer either a per person, averaging $30-$40 per plate with a required minimum, or an hourly fee plus food costs. These costs include meal planning, grocery shopping and meal preparation, unless otherwise specified.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
One of the most important questions the client should determine the answer to is “what is a realistic budget for the overall experience I want to create for my guests?” At Haute Eatz we believe not only in the meal preparation itself, but also the dining experience. Also, one should have an honest dialogue with the Chef about your expectations and they will let you know what’s possible within your price range.
