personal and private chefs

Personal chefs work for multiple clients, usually preparing a few meals at a time in the client’s kitchen or in a commercial kitchen and freezing them for the rest of the week. If you cook in their kitchen, expect to bring all your equipment with you, including reusable plastic containers and resealable plastic bags to store the food. You will typically spend just a few hours a week at one client’s kitchen, leaving you the opportunity to work for many at once. This freedom means that you can decide how many days a week you want to work and what income you want to have. The more clients you have, the more money you’ll make.

The American Personal & Private Chef Association reports that close to nine thousand personal chefs are in business, serving about seventy-two thousand consumers (the organization itself has about forty-five hundred members). The organization offers its members the opportunity to list their business on its website, which is an important source of client recruiting for personal chefs. Your own website and ads in local newspapers or on community websites are also ways through which you will find clients. Some of it takes place through word of mouth—your happy clients will recommend you to their friends. Keep in mind that expenses for advertising and publicity, organizational memberships, groceries, and travel are all part of the costs you will incur while running your business. As such, it is important that you factor them into the price that you charge your client.
