All the hours it takes for us to shop, plan, and prepare your menu.

All the ingredients necessary for the menu you’ve chosen.

Hard-to-find items from our chefs’ private pantry stock.

Rentals consultation.

Any necessary specialized equipment not regularly found in most kitchens (cast iron skillets, sous vides, large pots, etc.).

Cleaning of any plates or cutlery that we use at clients’ home. Plates are washed and left to dry or put in the dishwasher after the meal is cleared.

Gratuity is not included.

Chef’s gratuity

Gratuity for any members of staff, including servers, assistants, etc.

Any and all dinnerware, including cutlery, glassware of any kind, serving platters, serving dishes, napkins, tablecloths, runners, serving utensils, salt and pepper shakers, or any other item necessary to serve or eat (if you do not have those things, they can be rented through a company we work with regularly)

Pre-event tasting of meals

Washing of rental items that are not from our rental company only (if you use items from a different rental company, please check their policy to see what their requirements for cleaning are)

Hand washing of stemware (they will be rinsed with water only and set aside unbroken)

Décor

Drinks, including water unless it's discussed/specified in the menu

Ideally, your kitchen has a stove and a sink, but there has been a case where one of we baked several cakes using just a small toaster oven

A clear and clean kitchen
Please remove all tchotchkes, smaller appliances (like mixers, toaster ovens, etc.), and decor from the countertop (we need all the real estate they can get!).

Our staff will need access to the kitchen up to two hours before and after the event (so, if your event is from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m., we will need access to the kitchen from 5 p.m. – 12 a.m.)

Rasonable parking
We will need to be able to park within 20-30 ft. of your home or at least have temporary access close to the entrance.

Proper dinnerware, silverware, & glassware
While we provide great food, as stated above, we provide no tabletop items of any kind, so unless you want your guests to eat directly off the table, we’ll need you to provide these.

Standard kitchen equipment
This includes a sink, a fridge, a stove, an oven, and standard cookware. If you’re missing one or any of these (or yours is out of commission), we need to know at least seven (7) days in advance so we can plan.
