FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing per person only covers the food cost. The amount of time it takes to prep and shop for food is an added expense. Normally delivery is included unless otherwise specified. When servers and bartenders are needed they are paid hourly. The cost of utensils and rentals are NOT included in your cost per person. Gratuity is 20% on all services provided. Other pricing or arrangements can be discussed directly. I DO NOT BUY ALCOHOL** customers must provide there own alcoholic beverages for there event...
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to know what their preferences are and the type of cuisines they enjoy, it helps me to create a menu and style I know they will love. Working with the budget they have to accommodate their needs in elegance, But not taking away from the work that is put into preparing the meal. I enjoy getting to know who they are as well as what they desire for flavor.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to a Culinary H.S. in Manhattan NY, graduated from the Culinary Institute Of America in 2007, went on to study Szechuan cuisine in China for three weeks after graduation. I had an opportunity to cook in Thailand in 2015. Among other things I have been in almost all parts of this wonderful industry from cooking in restaurants, dishwashing, serving, bartending, catering, menu developing and much more.
