No, groceries are paid for separately from the chef’s fee. This is to ensure you receive fine, organic meats, produce and pantry ingredients.

A 50% deposit is due before each new client’s first service date. This payment locks in the cook-date and ensures that the chef has the funds provided to purchase groceries and other expenses. For future services, payment can be arranged prior to or on the day of the client’s service, at the chef’s discretion. Credit or cash are accepted and service will not be confirmed until deposit is received.

I understand that things happen, and sometimes clients need to cancel. All cancellations must be made at least 72 hours prior to the service date to receive a full refund. If the client cancels within 72 hours prior to their service, half of their service total will be forfeited to cover any incidentals or materials already purchased. The remaining half of the service total will be refunded to the client.

If a client needs to re-schedule, it must be done at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled service date and may result in a service charge. The chef will do his best to accommodate your new cook-date within current availability.

All final menu edits or submissions should be made three (3) days prior to the client’s service date, so the chef has the proper time to plan, prepare, and shop. Last-minute requests are subject to timing and the nature of the request, and will be honored when possible.
