How does using personal chef compare to take-out foods and dining at restaurants?
Having a personal chef costs less than many take-out meals or going out to eat. More importantly, it’s tailored to your tastes, needs, and diet. And having a personal chef means you don’t have to stand in line in a crowded restaurant with hungry family or guests, or interrupt your afternoon to stand in line at the grocery store. My fee is $75.00 per hour, which includes shopping, preparation, packaging, and clean-up. For a typical client, it takes approximately 2 hours to prepare 3 complete dinners for 5 people. That is delicious, nutritious dinners for 3 nights for 5 people, or 15 individual meals. Viewed another way, that is $10.00 per meal per person excluding the cost of food for which the client is responsible.
