Rates of Service

We require a final count 7 days prior to the event. Should the count increase more than 10% of the final count, you will be charged a per-head price for every additional guest.

Chef for Hire, LLC also requires a 50% deposit due 30 days prior to the event, if applicable time allows. The balance of the bill is due on the date of the party. Should there be a cancellation of the event date, Chef for Hire will retain a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 and will return the remainder of the deposit to the client. If the client chooses to pick a new date, Chef for Hire will put the remainder of the deposit toward the new date.

Should the event take more time than quoted, there will be an additional hourly charge for every extra hour spent by the staff.

STAFFING NOTE
All parties over 6 guests will require additional staffing and will be suggested in the quote. We provide one server per 10 guests, depending on the services needed by the client.

Policies, fees and event support

Chef for Hire, LLC does not include gratuity in the quote for the party. We believe that great service should be the standard! We suggest that, if you are happy with the service, you include 18-20% of the total bill. A 7.35% state sales tax will be added to each bill. We accept Venmo, checks and cash.

We can also help you save money if you don't need servers or a bartender by just delivering our catered meals to your event location for a nominal fee. 

Chef for Hire, LLC is not licensed to provide alcohol, but we will make suggestions on quantity or wine choices you may want us to match with the food. We can also take care of the rental of glassware, linens, china and flatware for an additional charge. We provide most cooking utensils and serving platters. Should you like us to use your serving items, please let us know prior to the event.
