Policies & Service Details
To provide a consistent, seamless experience for every client, Emelia follows these service guidelines:
Service Scheduling: In-home chef services are available for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or full-day service. Your service schedule and dedicated time are reserved based on your selected monthly or quarterly service option.
Billing & Payment: Your service fee covers the agreed-upon chef service and reserves your scheduled time. Grocery expenses and the applicable shopping fee are billed separately following your service. Payment is due upon receipt.

Kitchen Readiness: Please have your kitchen workspace, stove, and sink clear and ready when Emelia arrives. This allows her to begin preparing your meals on time and ensures she can provide a seamless cooking and dining experience.
Groceries & Shopping: Emelia takes care of grocery shopping for your service, selecting fresh, quality ingredients based on your customized menu. You’ll be invoiced for the exact cost of groceries, plus a grocery shopping fee. Applicable sales tax will also be included.
