I started my personal chef business, Dinner with a Chef, 3 yrs ago. And right then, I knew that this was going be the future for chefs and cooks who wanted to start a business without the crazy overhead. The usual norm in the culinary industry is that if you want to be successful, you need to pay your dues and the work really comes with different stresses which makes it challenging to enjoy your work and passion. That is why I pushed on this movement to help and inspire other cooks and chefs in building their own personal chef business. If we focus our passion and energy on doing something that we love and actually putting it up as a business such as this one, you’ll be amazed at the things that you can accomplish. There’s freedom in having a business but it is still not easy. It needs some hard work! The first 45 days during this pandemic, to be honest, it did hit my business hard. I got around $4-5K worth of refunds from cancellations. But soon after that, more clients wanted to still have that intimate and safe celebration for their birthdays, anniversaries, and to share that experience with their loved ones.
