Who this personal chef planner is for

This planner is for personal chefs, meal prep cooks and private chefs. It suits chefs cooking weekly for families and those preparing special dinners. Each client has unique tastes, allergies and schedules, and this planner keeps every detail clear. It also suits cooks who prepare meals for older relatives, new parents or busy professionals, and chefs who cater small dinner parties in clients' homes. Clear notes on likes, dislikes and portion sizes help you serve meals clients look forward to every week.

How to use your personal chef planner

Use the new client form for allergies and preferences. Keep client profiles and log each service. Set prices. Plan the week, write menus, build grocery lists and store recipe cards. Track invoices, income and expenses and review the year. Rotate menus so clients do not get bored, and note which dishes were favorites on each client profile. Shop with the grocery list to stay on budget, and record time spent so your pricing covers both shopping and cooking.
