Menu Planning and Proposals:
A Round the Table CO, LLC (RTT) chef will collaborate with you, the client, on a custom-curated menu proposal based on the information provided in your client profile. For quality control purposes, RTT asks that the client/chef correspondence be in writing via email. Proposals are to be confirmed 24 hours in advance. Failure to confirm will result in forfeiture of your cookdate. Menu planning, correspondence, travel fees and the sourcing of ingredients are included in the client’s quoted day-rate. All of the agreed upon menu items are subject to change from the initial menu due to ingredient availability, quality, or other unforeseeable factors.
Scheduling:
Your RTT chef will arrive to your home at the agreed-upon time on the agreed-upon date(s). Chefs will need full access to the cooking area for an estimated 2-6 hours. Please make your home accessible to your chef on the scheduled cook-date. If for some reason, your chef cannot access your home (locks were changed, tricky pets, etc...) you will be charged as a last-minute cancellation and will be expected to reimburse for the cost of your groceries. Clients, children, pets and other distractions should be out of the kitchen area on all scheduled cook-dates. We respectfully request that the client allow the chef to perform their professional services without interruption.
Cancellations:
Please provide two weeks of advanced notice if you choose to cancel a cook-date. RTT realizes that not everything always goes to plan, therefore RTT allows for two "free passes" bi-annually for weekly clients, and one "free pass' annually for bi-weekly clients. If you fail to give proper notice to your chef, the day-rate will be invoiced to you on the cancelled cook-date. In lieu of cancelling, the chef could come and stock the freezer with frozen back-up meals and take inventory of the ingredients in your home.
Home Kitchens:
RTT chefs take great pride in their work and promise to respect you, your home and your equipment. Your chef will leave their work space as clean as they found it, remove their personal equipment, and put away all leftover groceries. Please make sure your kitchen area is clean and ready for your chef on their scheduled cook-date and that your meal containers are ready for use. If chefs arrive to an unsuitable work space, they will document the area with a photo(s) and a cleaning fee of $50 will be added to the invoice for that service date. If the kitchen does not meet basic health code standards (i.e. no running water, no electricity, etc...) the chef will prepare and store what they can, you will be charged the day-rate and reimburse for groceries.
