Pros

The opposite of everything you hate about restaurant work....drive around the city instead of being stuck in a building 16 hours a a day. Flexibility in scheduling(I work 8a-5or 6p Monday thru Thursday). Actual paid overtime instead of a cheap crappy 40 hr. restaurant salary for 70 hours of work. Don't have to work restaurant weeks, holidays, nights, or weekends. Great benefits. Vacay pay. Actually make a difference in people's lives.

Cons

I didn't come up with the idea first.

Pros

Great for new Personal Chefs to understand what you will be doing in the day to day

Cons

They take a huge portion of what is billed to the client. Not all the clients are in the area and they base the drive time on miles even if you are an hour away in traffic

Thank you for your review! To offer some insight, 65%-75% of every dollar earned goes to pay our employees' wages, taxes, and benefits. In addition to our chefs, we also pay our managers, office staff, marketing team, trainers, and even trainees. We also have other expenses like rent, marketing, and service providers such as our benefits broker who helps us subsidize over 80% of health insurance costs for our employees, as well as paid time off. We continue to be a leader in total compensation for food service workers. We are on a constant mission to offer the best flexibility, work/life balance, creative freedom, exceptional benefits and fair pay, while making our service affordable to our clients. Driving is calculated by miles rather than time, however chefs have a lot of control over where they want to take clients.
