Aren't
You Just A Caterer?
Absolutely NOT! Read the following:
Top 10 Reasons why a Personal Chef isn’t a caterer:
#10 We
focus on the family weekday dinner - A caterer typically is hired for a special one-time occasion, a holiday, birthday,
anniversary, etc.
#9 There are no delivery
or gratuity charges - A caterer typically charges a delivery fee for the food and usually expects a monetary tip.
#8
You know where the food is prepared, right in your home - When you "order in"
from a caterer, you're not really sure where, how, or even by whom your food has been prepared!
#7
Our overhead is minimal, so your cost is reasonable - By law, when food is
prepared for delivery to the customer, it must be prepared in a commercial kitchen. These are kitchen facilities built
to certain specifications, with requirements such as fire suppression, and minimum size. They also must be periodically
inspected by the health department. The cost to build and operate such a facility is substantial and adds significant
overhead expense, which the caterer passes on to you!
#6 Your personal chef develops a relationship with you and knows your individual likes and dislikes –
it’s a personalized service - Although you can order specific dishes from a caterer, you typically
can't request minor alterations in the recipe. A Personal Chef learns exactly what you like and dislike, I've changed
menus and individual recipes to satisfy the wants and needs of my clients. This is especially valuable when the client
has specific dietary restrictions!
#5 Your personal chef can cook for special
dietary needs - Low fat, low carb, high protein, food allergies, whatever your particular dietary restrictions are, a
Personal Chef can adapt the recipes to fit.
#4 Only ONE person handles the food and
that person is trained in food safety and hygiene - Expanding on #8, you know exactly who will be preparing your food
- this is something you usually don't know even when you go to a restaurant. And that person has been trained in safe
food handling, many are even ServSafe certified.
#3 You get several weeks’ of meals with lots to choose from when you're hungry - So if you want Chicken
Marsala, and your spouse wants Roast Beef Wellington with Horseradish Sauce, no problem, you each can have your own dish!
#2
Your personal chef develops meals that are delicious and nutritious, but not high
in fat - Again, your meals can be completely customized to your particular needs. The recipe resources available
to the Personal Chef are enormous, coupled with their own experience and skill in adapting recipes, result in foods that are
high in flavor. Great tasting food does not have to be bad for you!
And last but not least…
#1 When
you come home to dinner after your personal chef has been cooking in your kitchen, IT SMELLS GREAT! - Do
you know how great it smells many times when you walk into a restaurant? Imagine coming home after a long day having
your home filled with the aromas of a full day of cooking by your very own Personal Chef - NOT A CATERER
