Question 1

Private chef Maui cost — what is the published band?

Accepted Answer

Signature villa dinners are $225–$375 a guest with groceries inside that band. Stay Chef weeks start from $1,550 a day with groceries at cost and receipts. Then 20% service and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.712% print once. Request a written quote on the quote form; the island overview is private chef Maui.

Question 2

Are groceries included?

Accepted Answer

Two models, never blended. On a Signature or per-guest dinner ($225–$375 a guest on Maui), food and grocery procurement sit inside the published band — no separate “+ groceries” line. On a Stay Chef, multi-day or weekly-cook booking (from $1,550 a day), it is the chef fee plus groceries at cost, with original merchant receipts and zero markup.

Question 3

Is Wailea cheaper than Kāʻanapali?

Accepted Answer

Same signature band. The Saturday drive is planned into arrival.

Question 4

Is this villa-week band a competitor midpoint?

Accepted Answer

No. Wailea and West Maui share signature dinners at $225–$375 a guest. A midpoint that folds service into food is not this card. 20% service and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.712% print after the band. We publish our premium; we do not rank other kitchens.

Question 5

Signature night or Stay Chef week — which line am I on?

Accepted Answer

Signature is the hero per-guest night ($225–$375, groceries inside the band). Stay Chef from $1,550 a day is the multi-day cook with groceries at cost. They never blend.

Question 6

Why is a villa week priced as a day, not four Wailea dinners?

Accepted Answer

A three-to-seven-day house uses Stay Chef from $1,550 a day: chef and assistant, one meal, groceries at cost with receipts. Four Signature nights at $225–$375 a guest are a different bill. 20% service and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.712%. 50% deposit. Gratuity never required. Put the dates on the quote form.

Question 7

Why does the Maui guest band sit above the Oʻahu card?

Accepted Answer

Maui Signature is $225–$375 a guest for Wailea and West Maui villa weeks. Oʻahu Signature is $195–$290. That gap is the published Maui card, not a silent add-on. Groceries stay inside the Maui dinner. Stay Chef from $1,550 a day. 20% service and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.712%. 50% deposit. Gratuity never required.

Question 8

Is an Upcountry night the same travel line as West Maui?

Accepted Answer

No. Wailea, Kāʻanapali, Kapalua, and Makena are base. Saturday West Maui traffic is planned into arrival, not billed. Upcountry, including Kula and Pāʻia, adds a surcharge from $75. Food stays $225–$375. 20% service and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.712%. 50% deposit. Gratuity never required.

Question 9

Does whale season raise what a Maui hire costs?

Accepted Answer

No. December through March fills Wailea and West Maui kitchens sooner. Signature stays $225–$375 a guest. Stay Chef stays from $1,550 a day. Ask when the house is held, via private chef Maui and the quote form. 20% service and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.712%. 50% deposit. Gratuity never required.
