Personal chef proposal

Prepared for Sarah Smith

By Hank Freeman · July 15, 2026

Proposal

A warm four-course dinner for your tenth anniversary — intimate, considered, refined without fuss.

Client portal

The problem

You're a chef, not an admin assistant.

Every new client takes 2–3 hours of writing proposals, designing menus, building shopping lists, and chasing invoices. That's time you should be cooking — or with your family. Generic tools like HoneyBook and Dubsado weren't built for your workflow. Word docs and spreadsheets shouldn't be running your business.

How it works

Three steps. About two minutes.

01

Fill in the brief

Client name, occasion, guest count, dietary needs, budget, date. Sixty seconds.

02

AI does the work

Proposal, multi-course menu, shopping list, and invoice — generated in parallel, on-brand.

03

Send the portal link

Your client sees a branded proposal page, leaves a review, and signs off. You stay in the kitchen.

What you get

Everything a personal chef business needs.

Branded proposals

Warm, professional copy with your business identity baked in — never AI-hallucinated.

Menus tailored to every guest

Multi-course, dietary-aware, scaled to budget. Allergens flagged automatically.

Shopping list with prep timeline

Categorized by aisle. Quantities scaled with a 10% waste buffer. Two-day prep schedule.

Professional invoices

Line items, deposit terms, payment methods — all pulled from your saved settings.

Client portal + reviews

Share one branded link. Clients view proposal and menu, leave star ratings, see your work.

PDF export on every tab

Print-ready downloads for proposal, menu, shopping list, and invoice.

Pricing

Plans from $29/mo.

Starter, Pro, and Studio. 14-day free trial on every plan. No credit card to start.
