How do I update my prices?

Setting up your price per guest helps clients know what to expect before they even message you — and gives your proposals a solid starting point. Here's how to set it up.

Where to find it

1. Go to Manage Profile.
2. Open the Public profile tab.
3. Go to Core pricing.

Price per guest

You can define your base price per guest based on the number of guests — and create different pricing tiers for different group sizes. For example:

• 2–4 guests: €150 per guest
• 5–9 guests: €120 per guest
• 10+ guests: €100 per guest

This lets you offer fairer, more competitive rates as the group grows, rather than a single flat price for every event size.

Why this matters: it's the base for your personal request proposals

This is important to understand: when a client visits your profile directly and requests a quote from you (a personal request), the initial proposal is automatically built based on the price tiers you've set here.
That means these numbers aren't just informational — they directly shape what the client sees first when they reach out to you specifically. If your tiers aren't set correctly, your very first impression with that client could be based on the wrong price. Take the time to set these accurately, since they're doing real work for you before a conversation even starts.

What to include in your base price

We recommend building your per-guest price to cover:

• Your chef service (your time, skill, and preparation)
• The cost of the basic ingredients
• Commission

Pricing it this way means your base rate already reflects your real costs, so you're not caught adjusting it later for every proposal.

Price per day

You'll also see a Price per day option. This is meant for situations that go beyond a single meal — for example:

• Personal chef services that span more than one day.
• A single day where you're covering multiple services — breakfast, lunch, and dinner, for instance.
• A common case: a client books you to cook dinner every day at the hotel or holiday home they're renting, for the length of their stay.

For these situations, you set your own price per day, since there's no fixed rule for what a multi-day booking should cost — it's entirely negotiable and depends on the specific service.
Important: your price per day usually won't include ingredients or travel costs. Once you've discussed the details with your client, remember to add those separately to your proposal — they're not automatically covered by the daily rate.

💡 Your price tiers are a starting point, not a fixed rule — you can always adjust the final price on individual proposals based on the specific menu, location, or requests from a client.
