Private Chef
Dynamic Homes Start in the Kitchen
​At Oceanside, our personal chefs are trained to cook, prepare, and serve meals for clients in their homes, often based on the client's dietary needs and schedule. Their responsibilities may include: menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning and planning dinner parties. Many of our private chefs travel with their respective families to other residences or private Yachts, always providing 5-star service whether at home or on the go.
Hourly Rate
​The market in South Florida is seeing an average of $30+/hour for full-time Chefs. At Oceanside we place professionally trained & full-time Chefs only. Meaning we place individuals who have a culinary degree and/or 3+ years of experience in HNW (high net worth) homes. The hourly price will ultimately be determined by the needs of the family and the qualifications of our candidates.
Agency Fees
To start our search, we require a $500 engagement fee that is deducted from our placement fee, upon the hiring of a candidate. For South Florida-based families our Placement Fee is 20% of the employee’s total gross annual compensation. In addition to local searches, our team can conduct customized nationwide searches for families located outside of the South Florida area. Nationwide searches incur a Placement Fee of 25% of the employee’s total gross annual compensation, with a minimum fee of $5,995. Additional fees may apply for short term positions, or positions in high-demand at the time of placement.
