What BM-360 is
A private chef's price book, job list, and invoicing, covering regular cooking plans, one-off events, and dietary work.
A weekly family meal prep plan and a per-head dinner party should not both be quoted from the same flat guess. Price the regular plan, and the one-off event, from one book.
The regular plan and the one-off event
A weekly meal prep plan and a per-head dinner party both sit in the same price book, so a regular client and a one-off event both see a clear figure.
A private chef's price book, job list, and invoicing, covering regular cooking plans, one-off events, and dietary work.
Quote a dinner party from the client's kitchen. Set your weekly plan pricing from home between bookings.
Extra guests and plating staff are their own lines, so a dinner party that grows still invoices at the right per-head figure.
Your week
Private chef work mixes standing weekly clients with one-off celebration bookings.
An enquiry comes in for a dinner party, gets a rough per-head guess, and the final headcount changes the total without the quote updating.
The enquiry lands on your job list, priced from the book, whether it is a weekly meal prep plan or a one-off event.
Weekly plans and one-off events sit on the same list, and the invoice matches the final headcount and menu agreed.
Price book
Regular cooking plans, one-off events, and dietary work are already listed, priced per head or by the week. Reprice any line, including extra guests, in setup.
