Frequently Asked Questions
-
Menu planning, grocery shopping, on-site cooking, service, and full kitchen cleanup. You don’t need to supply ingredients or worry about the mess afterward. Most clients use their own plates, glassware, and linens, but we can provide table settings at no extra charge if needed (subject to availability).
-
Yes. Most of my vacation rental clients are groups staying in Scottsdale or Paradise Valley for golf weekends, bachelor/bachelorette trips, or family reunions. A standard kitchen is all we need.
-
Dates fill up, especially during peak season. A 30% non-refundable deposit reserves your date on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you reach out, the better the odds of getting the day you want.
-
Yes for most common ones — gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and specific nut allergies are usually straightforward since everything is prepared fresh. We are not able to accommodate medically advised celiac disease or strict vegan menus. In those cases we recommend separate arrangements for those guests so everyone else can enjoy the meal safely.
-
Our standard service area is Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and Phoenix. For Sedona, Flagstaff, and other destinations a travel fee applies based on drive time to your location (return trip is on us)
-
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and our service staff is ServSafe certified.
-
No. Arizona liquor laws prevent us from purchasing or supplying alcohol. Once the menu is set we are happy to recommend wine pairings or cocktail ingredients so you can stock what you need.
-
For a standard dinner party, we typically arrive about two hours before your first course is scheduled to be served. This gives us plenty of time to set up our stations and start cooking. Once dessert is served, we spend about an hour thoroughly cleaning your kitchen, wiping down the counters, and washing the dishes we used, meaning we are usually out of your hair within four to five hours total.
-
Children over 12 are counted as adults. For younger children we can split an adult portion across two plates. We do not offer a separate kids’ menu.
