Starting The Job Of Visiting ChefBeing a visiting chef is kind of interesting job. If you want to be this kind of job, you can post flyers and ads in community centers, schools, and retail outlets. Place ads in newspapers and shopping guides. You may be able to advertise your services at area gourmet food stores, butcher shops, and liquor stores; offer a commission or bonus for business they refer to you, and do some of your own shopping there. Ask friends, acquaintances, and satisfied customers to recommend your services; offer them a bonus or discount on future services in return for business they send your way. Make contact with area party planners, chambers of commerce, and other groups whose members might be active in the local social scene. You could teach a cooking course at a local community school for publicity and perhaps some clients.

There are two common ways to bill for your service for this sort of a job:

1.      A set charge for each dish prepared, taking into account the amount of time required and the cost of ingredients. You’ll need to adjust the price based on the number of guests you will be feeding.

2.      An hourly rate for planning, preparing, cooking, serving, and cleaning up, plus an additional charge for the cost of ingredients and supplies. You should be able to purchase wine, gourmet ingredients, and other supplies at wholesale or discount prices and bill your customers at retail rates. Additional expenses include delivery charges for special ingredients or equipment and an hourly charge for a helper for food preparation or serving.
