FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For weekly personal chef services, pricing ranges from $350–$400 per week, plus the cost of groceries. Final pricing depends on the number of meals, dietary restrictions, and ingredient preferences. Your service fee includes: • Custom menu planning • Grocery shopping • In-home cooking • Packaging & labeling • Full kitchen cleanup and sanitization
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start by having you fill out a brief intake form — this helps us organize everything in one place and keep your preferences up to date as we go. For weekly personal chef services: After the intake form, we’ll schedule a quick call to discuss your dietary needs, kitchen setup, and weekly flow. You’ll receive an onboarding guide outlining what to expect. Each week, I’ll send a proposed menu for approval. Once confirmed, I’ll follow up with a grocery list to avoid overbuying and prioritize using what’s already on hand. For special events and catering: You'll fill out the same intake form to capture the event details and service needs. We’ll schedule a short call to go over logistics, finalize the menu, and discuss rentals or staffing if needed. A 50% deposit is required to reserve the date, with the remaining balance due one week before your event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Culinary Arts degree from Fox Valley Technical College in Wisconsin, where I grew up. My training blends classic technique with modern efficiency — perfect for personal chef and catering work.
