Client Agreement

Client/Personal Chef Agreement

Together, we have completed a consultation in order to assess your needs and
preferences. Special dietary restrictions and/or needs have been discussed, as
well, in order to create menus and prepare meals to meet your needs. We have
scheduled your first cooking date an don that day, I will shop for and bring to your
kitchen the freshest ingredients as well as all necessary cooking equipment. At
the conclusion of my cooking day, your food will be packaged, conveniently labeled
(with the exception of the "boil-in-bag packaging), and a menu, defrosting and
general heating instructions will be left for you. Your kitchen will be left clean and
deliciously fragrant!

While cooking, so that I may focus on creating the best meals possible, it is best
that I have the kitchen to myself and remain uninterrupted. At no time are
children or pets allowed in the kitchen while I'm working. Also, I cannot be
responsible for answering the door or the phone while I am in your home. All of
this allows me to concentrate on my work with no interruptions, in order to
provide you with the best possible service.

Fee: Pricing includes consultation, diet/menu research, menu planning and
approval, heating guide preparation, grocery list preparation/shopping, cooking,
packaging, and clean-up. The cost of groceries and containers are separate.

There is a built-in pantry fee in my service charge that covers staple items such as
spices, oils, vinegars, flour, sugar, etc. that I keep in stock. When purchasing
groceries for your cook-date, I will always do my best to only buy the exact
quantities of food needed; however, there may be some items that were not
completely utilized during the cooking process (for example, small amounts of
fruits, vegetables, fresh herbs and cheeses). Most clients do not want me leave
the items because they would not use them and the items will spoil before I cook
for them again.

Do you prefer that I leave these unused pantry items?

YES

Payment: Payment of chef fees and a grocery deposit are due in advance of each
cooking date. The amount of the grocery deposit will be determined by the
service that you select, which is specified below. Payment for the first cooking
date is due upon signing of this agreement. For future dates, advance payment
should be left on your cooking date unless other arrangements have been made. If
there are remaining funds on grocery deposits, it will be credited to the next
cooking session. Should a check be returned for insufficient funds, you will be
responsible for all charges and fees levied by the bank.

Cancellation Policy: If a cooking date is cancelled ten days or less prior to
scheduled date, the Personal Chef fee is not refundable and is due in full. (This
does not apply to rescheduled dates)

Menu Creation: Prior to each cooking date, I will need to plan your next menu.
You may choose to:

Approve menu choices by e-mail

Leave next date's choices to the Chef

Client agrees to:

Provide a clean kitchen and refrigerator on cooking day. This includes not
leaving dirty dishes in the sink or on counter tops, and moving personal
items away from cook and work areas. Should I have to clean the work
area/dishes/sink/refrigerator upon arrival, there will be an additional charge
of $25 for this time.

Keep children and pets out of work area to ensure their safety.

Leave any purchased, clean containers on counter or designated area for
reuse. (if applicable)
