I use your kitchen, your equipment and your dishes so you only have to pay a simple hourly rate of $69/hour (three hour minimum) for my time to plan, shop, cook and clean up. It's a much more transparent and fair way to get food for your in-home party.
Average service cost:
Dinner party for 8 people
$390 to $490, plus groceries
Actual cost varies based chef's time used.
Three hour minimum.
