This podcast episode starts with a question to be answered by our host, Chef Andres Hinojosa. As related to our topic: Pricing. This question is from Maria, “Is there a good formula on how to structure your prices for your services for weekly clients or one time sporadic events and what factors to consider in making quotes?”
Pricing for a specific service may come from different angles and methods but there is no real right answer for this, as this will depend on what best fits your business and processes. It may be per hour, flat rate, per meal, per day or per person which depends on the type of business you are in. But in my Personal Chef business, what works for me is by charging per person. It is simpler to explain to a client that the cost per head is this certain amount, compared to a per hour or a flat rate cost which may leave more doubts or questions to the client. The simpler the options are, the more convenient it is to the client, which can also reflect your level of service to them.

I have a personal chef business: for my dinner parties and such, I charge per guest, with the grocery cost included in that per guest price, so the per guest price depends on their menus. For my weekly people..that is where I am stumped pricing wise. I had a couple i was cooking for, 35 meals a week and I had a set price and for the amount of work, time of grocery shopping, etc. it was not enough ($245/per week plus groceries to be exact). So I’m stuck in between charging per meal or charging a set weekly price for a certain amount of meals. I have thought about implementing both so customers have that option.

I discovered this channel this year! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and helping us. I am planning to start a personal chef business here in SA😀 these have been very helpful. With regards to the instance where they add 2 more people (your example of $120 extra). Wouldn't there be a question of "weren't there going to be left overs " would the client still be inclined to pay extra for the 2, especially of you didn't have to go back to the shops to top up?

Hi chef, first time viewer and just subscribed to your video. I can understand a few of the concepts stated in this video, but I was wondering how to get the per person rate and for the meal prep, the minimum rate as well. I look forward to learning from your podcasts. Thank you very much for this

HEY! I go into people's home and meal prep for them. How do I charge for a single person, a couple, or a full family. A settled price makes sense. Should I just offer packages based on family size, and they can pick those packages. Also, how to I charge for groceries up front? I don't have floating cash to pay up front for their groceries . Thank you

Do you plate on their dishes or do you bring your own refined plating?

I have been researching this for a few months and the way you charge is how i thought to charge i didn’t just know how to the grocery part... so you’re saying 20 per person example 15 people and tell them they provide the cost for groceries example ($120 for food) so $150 for the guest + $120 for food = $270

@ValentinaTheCreator Ай бұрын

I don't understand the charging during traffic and whatnot... would a client say the same thing to an attorney who charges by the hour? Shoots, I was a legal assist. They charged a 15 min phone call conversation as 30 MINUTES LOL.

@ArtButFood 2 жыл бұрын

but how do you charge for groceries before hand if you havent bought it yet ?

@brandondixon7057 3 жыл бұрын

So basically charging by person is like charging for the full service plus groceries but to make it simpler for the customer you're charging by the person plus groceries? Is that for like dinner parties, dinner for etc.?

I don't agree with charging for groceries. Does a restaurant do so? I believe you should charge per plate based on what menu they choose. You should know what the costs of food are according to preplanned menus, and add that into the cost of the plate.
