Private chefs: weekly meal prep visits

Busy families and professionals hire a private chef to cook a week of meals in one visit. The work is regular: same day, same kitchen, a new menu each week. With Book, new households book a first visit on your own booking page, and you book the weekly visits from your list, so every date sits in their calendar.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Say in the description whether groceries are included or billed at cost.

Open first visit slots on your page. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask for the household size, likes and dislikes. Confirm allergies directly, not in the note.

After the first visit, book the weekly visits yourself from your bookings list, several weeks ahead. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each. Add the week's menu to the note so it shows in their calendar file.

Build shopping time into your day before each visit. Arrange keys by phone, not in the note. Say in the description what containers and equipment you expect.

When a client is away, cancel those weeks from your list. When you're away, tell clients yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't plan menus, order groceries, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field. See the guide on menu meetings and event dates. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
