This is a new role, so responsibilities may evolve as household and company needs develop. We’re looking for a dependable, organized personal chef to prepare meals and lunches for two households: one household with one adult and a school-age child, and a separate one-person household. The chef will also provide food and hosting support for occasional company events and private parties.
Responsibilities
- Plan fresh meals around each household’s preferences, schedule, and dietary needs.
- Prepare family dinners and make-ahead lunches for the week.
- Portion, label, and store meals so they are easy to reheat or pack.
- Check refrigerator staples and restock agreed-upon items; coordinate grocery needs before shopping.
- Shop for groceries and event supplies when requested, keeping receipts for reimbursement.
- Plan menus and prepare food for company events, gatherings, and private parties.
- Help host events, including setting out and serving food and coordinating meal timing.
- Clean the kitchen and food-preparation areas after cooking and events.
- Communicate about menus, food preferences, grocery needs, event details, and schedule changes.
- Follow safe food handling, storage, and sanitation practices.
Qualifications
- Experience cooking for families or working as a personal chef, meal-prep cook, caterer, or in a professional kitchen.
- Comfortable preparing everyday meals and food for small gatherings and events.
- Organized and able to manage event preparation alongside regular meal planning.
- Reliable, professional, and respectful of privacy in homes and business settings.
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for travel between locations.
- Food-safety training or certification preferred.
Pay and expenses
Annual pay is $40,000, paid through payroll. Health insurance is offered; benefit details will be discussed during hiring. Grocery and event-supply costs will be reimbursed separately from wages. The role does not include childcare or general housecleaning.
