8 weeks ago I hired a personal chef for my family. 👨‍🍳
It's been the best thing I've delegated recently.
- Healthy meals all week
- Saved time (no more cooking or deciding what to eat)
- Improved quality of life
Here's how much it all cost:
Our chef comes Tuesdays and does a full day of cooking in our kitchen.
Average cost so far to have a personal chef:
~$260/week in labor
~$250/week in groceries
Total cost = $2,147 per month to have a personal chef!
Our chef cooks in our kitchen every Tuesday for the entire day. She arrives at 10am and is done by 5pm.
She typically makes:
- 2 breakfast options
- 2 lunch options
- 4 dinner options
We eat on all of it throughout the week.
Each week she creates a menu and texts it to my wife and I. Sometimes we request adjustments based on what we're feeling.
She buys the groceries on our behalf and bill us later.
After cooking, all dishes are in the fridge with labels. The kitchen is left spotless.
Our spending on eating out has gone down because of this, so the total cost of hiring a chef is netting out to be a bit cheaper than I originally expected.
We no longer have to think about what's for dinner. There's always something healthy and delicious for us in the fridge.
Our chef does this for 5 other families (1 on each day of the week).
To find her, I used Google, Yelp, and local Facebook Groups. I narrowed it down to 3 candidates.
Ultimately I found ours via a neighborhood FB group.
This year I promised myself i would pay for help around the house.
Hiring a chef has been the best investment for us.
