More than meal prep. Your household's food life, handled.

A Higher Level of Support

When one cook day isn't enough.

Weekly meal prep works beautifully for many families. Others need multiple cook days, broader meal coverage, changing schedules, children's preferences, pantry management, and occasional hosting support. Retained Chef service is built for that level of responsibility.

Multiple Reserved Days

Two or three recurring service days are held specifically for your household.

Household Menu Planning

Menus evolve with your calendar, preferences, dietary needs, and feedback.

Grocery & Pantry Management

Ingredient sourcing and routine pantry coordination become part of one managed process.

Broader Meal Coverage

Dinners, lunches, breakfasts, snacks, and reheatable meals can be included in the agreed scope.

Family Adaptation

Children's meals and specialty preferences are integrated thoughtfully rather than treated as an afterthought.

Ongoing Adjustment

The service changes intelligently as schedules, appetites, and household needs change.

How the retainer works. Service renews monthly and reserves agreed recurring service days. Groceries are billed separately at actual cost, with no markup. Major events, travel, additional staff, and work beyond the recurring scope are quoted separately. Thirty days' notice is required to end or materially reduce reserved capacity, and unused service days do not roll over.

Professional household food support—not unlimited chef access.

Each retainer is documented around household size, service windows, meal coverage, packaging, dietary needs, and routine hosting. That defined scope keeps the relationship reliable while allowing the food itself to remain highly personalized.
