What a Stay Chef week costs, worked out.
Stay Chef runs from $1,050 a day plus groceries at cost with receipts. A seven-day week starts at $7,350 in chef labor — this page shows what that buys and what sits around it.
What the day rate buys
- A full day of chef labor in your kitchen — breakfast through dinner
- Menu planning across the week, shopping, cooking, service, cleanup
- Provisioning runs and beach-day coolers inside the rhythm
- Groceries billed at cost with receipts — never marked up
The worked week
Seven days at $1,050 is $7,350. Add groceries at cost — a week for a family of eight typically tracks what the same family would spend splitting restaurant meals, minus the reservations. Then 20% service and GET on their own lines. The written quote shows all of it before a dollar moves.
What is not in the day rate
Staffing beyond the chef (servers, sous) quotes at the published $55/$75 hourlys. Travel zones apply outside the base corridors — Upcountry from $75 a day, Pāʻia and Haʻikū quoted at inquiry. And there is no published weekly discount: the quote is the total, not the opening bid.
The honest comparison
The only other published multi-day chef pricing on Maui runs $179–$300+ per person per day. For a group of eight, that math crosses $1,050 quickly — the day rate is priced for the group, not the seat.
