Booking Requests and Confirmation

Submitting a request does not automatically confirm a chef or event date. Our team confirms availability, the event location, menu details and travel fees with you.

Deposit and Balance

No payment is needed to submit a request. After confirmation, we collect a $100 deposit that goes toward your event total. The remaining balance is due on the event day. Travel fees and gratuity are additional to the food price.

Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellations made at least 48 hours before the scheduled event are eligible for a full deposit refund.

Cancellations within 48 hours are non-refundable, except when severe weather or other circumstances make the event unsafe or impossible to proceed. In those cases, notify us at least 5 hours before the scheduled event to be eligible for a full deposit refund.

Rescheduling

You may request a new date at no additional rescheduling charge, subject to chef availability. Your deposit transfers to the new date. Contact us as soon as possible to arrange the change.

Weather and Outdoor Setup

Light rain may be manageable with a suitable covered outdoor cooking area. Contact us to confirm the setup. If severe weather makes the event unsafe, you may reschedule at no additional charge, subject to availability. Refund requests are governed by the cancellation terms above.

Customer Preparation

Please provide and set up tables, chairs, plates and utensils. Confirm that your property permits outside chefs and outdoor cooking. Share allergies, dietary needs and property restrictions before we finalize your booking.
