Private chef or catering: which one fits your event

Both take care of the food, but they are not the same. Differences in experience, guest count and budget.

Cuando organizás un cumpleaños, una cena con clientes o una celebración en casa, aparecen dos caminos: contratar un catering o traer un chef privado. Los dos te sacan la cocina de encima, pero la experiencia que viven tus invitados es muy distinta.

La diferencia en una línea

El catering entrega la comida lista para servir; el chef privado termina cada plato en tu casa. Con catering recibís bandejas. Con un chef, la preproducción se hace en su cocina y cada paso se regenera, se termina y se emplata en el momento, frente a tus invitados.

Cuándo conviene un chef privado

Cuándo conviene un catering

Si tu evento es para un grupo chico, mirá la degustación de 7 pasos. Si es más grande o corporativo, contame la idea en eventos y empresas.

When you plan a birthday, a client dinner or a celebration at home, two paths appear: hire a caterer or bring in a private chef. Both take the kitchen off your hands, but your guests' experience is very different.

The difference in one line

Catering delivers food ready to serve; a private chef finishes each dish at your home. With catering you get trays. With a chef, the prep is done in their kitchen and each course is reheated, finished and plated on the spot, in front of your guests.

When a private chef makes sense

For a small group, see the 7-course tasting. For something bigger or corporate, tell me the idea in events & companies.
