The part nobody shows you.
AK found me through my website’s quote form. He was a stranger who wanted to see what a private chef would cost. Two days later we were on a video call. I walked him through the proposal live and sent it within 30 minutes. Here’s how he put it:
“The price was above what I’d budgeted but I felt so confident that Daniel would do a great job that I paid within a few minutes of opening it.”
None of that was talent. It was paperwork: a form that asked the right questions, a proposal that looked like I’d done this a hundred times, and a menu system his family could fill out in under a minute. That’s what’s in this kit.
Eight things you’ll need before your first client says yes.
The Pricing Sheet
Put in your grocery cost, your hours and what your area pays. Get a per-person price, an event minimum and a weekly household rate.
The Client Intake Form
The questions I ask before every first call, so you walk in already knowing your answer to “what do you charge?”
The Five-Line Proposal
The same-day text, plus a one-page version for clients who want something to look over. Samples and blanks.
A Sample Service Agreement
A working agreement as an example: deposits, cancellations, groceries, kitchen access. Have a local lawyer look over your version.
The Weekly Menu System
One link, no login, two options per meal for each person. The template plus a step-by-step setup guide.
The $600 Setup Sheet
What you need to be legal and insured, with real links and prices. Plus what you don’t need yet.
The 50 Touches Tracker
Turns “I should reach out to people” into a number you can see: 12 / 50.
The First Gig Field Guide
What to ask before the event, what to bring, the timeline back from service, and the exact words for asking for a review and two referrals.

The “Use It on One Quote” Guarantee
Use the kit on your next quote. If it doesn’t make you look more professional than you did yesterday, email me within 30 days and I’ll refund the $47. Keep the files.
For you if:
- You can already cook at a level people would pay for.
- Someone has asked “would you cook for us?” and you froze on the price.
- You’d rather copy a system that works than invent one.
Not for you if:
- You want someone to find the clients for you. (That’s the call.)
- You’re looking for recipes or cooking lessons. I don’t teach cooking.
You’ll need every one of these before your first client says yes.
