Top 5 Reasons Busy Families Hire a Personal Chef
1. Get Your Time Back
Busy families regain 5–10+ hours weekly otherwise spent meal planning, grocery shopping, prepping, cooking, and cleaning…that’s time back for work, family, or rest.
2. Healthy Meals Without the Hassle
A chef crafts balanced, nutrient-rich meals using fresh ingredients. Healthy eating becomes easy and more delicious.
3. Customized for Your Family’s Tastes & Needs
Every menu is personalized: kid-friendly, adult-approved, and aligned with your household’s unique dietary restrictions or goals. It’s fine dining meets practicality.
4. Reduced Mental Load
Say goodbye to the “What’s for dinner?” stress. Your chef takes over planning and execution giving you one less thing on your plate (literally and figuratively).
5. Elevated Living, Every Day
Whether it’s weeknight dinners or entertaining guests, the support of a part-time chef adds joy, polish and peace of mind to your everyday routine.
Typical Hours and Pay for Personal Chefs in Medium Markets?
Most personal chefs in medium-sized markets like Denver or Phoenix work 5–15 hours per week, per family, often spreading their time across multiple clients. Many offer meal prep services two to three days per week or serve one family full-time (40 hours per week).
The average hourly rate ranges from $45–$75/hour, with full-time roles earning $85K–$150K+ annually, depending on the candidate’s experience and scope of the job (e.g. grocery shopping, dietary planning, events).
Whether you’re a busy professional seeking healthier meals or a household looking to streamline your evenings, hiring a personal chef can be a smart, time-saving investment.
