We hired a private chef to cook for our family. Call me an elitist, but I was shocked how affordable it was. Here’s the breakdown:

For people asking how we did it: Advertised (craigslist/thumbtack worked best) Looked at 10 candidates Phone screened 4 Checked references on 2. Ran a background check. Did one paid trial day Hired him Now he comes by one day a week, for about 6 hours. Cooks at our place, then cleans. Meals in tupperware, ready for us to do our thing.

Obligatory plug: In between meals, I love helping people get smarter about business. Subscribe to the Small Business MBA newsletter → all the stuff they don't teach you in business school! Link in bio!
