Working 60+ hour weeks in a hot, chaotic kitchen. Clopens. Doubles. No control over your schedule. Going home exhausted and wondering if this grind is what the next 10 years look like.
You’ve put in the years. You’ve mastered the craft. But your paycheck still doesn’t reflect your ability — while owners and investors make the real money.
Missing weekends. Holidays. Family events. Always working when everyone else is celebrating. Watching life happen around you instead of actually living it.
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
Right now, talented chefs and skilled cooks everywhere are realizing something powerful — there is another path. One that gives you control over your schedule, lets you charge what your skill is truly worth, and brings the joy back to cooking.
The Private Chef Market Is Expanding — Here’s Why:
The demand already exists. The clients are already out there.
What most chefs are missing isn’t talent — it’s a clear roadmap.

From $25/hr Salary to $468/hr as a Private Chef
Just a few years ago, I was working 60+ hours a week as a head chef in a busy restaurant. Nights. Weekends. Holidays. My schedule rotated constantly. I never knew what I was working the following week — and neither did my family. We rarely saw each other for more than 30 minutes a day. My son started waking up with nightmares because I was never home. That was a wake-up call. I had the training. I had the experience. But I had no control. And for all those hours… I was making around $50,000 a year.
I knew there had to be a better way to use my skill — but when I started looking into private chef work, there was no clear roadmap. No real strategy. No practical system. No one explaining how to actually build consistent income. So I figured it out the hard way. Through trial and error. Through expensive mistakes. Through testing what worked — and what didn’t.
Today, I typically earn between $50–$75 per hour as a private chef — and in certain cases, significantly more. When I compared that to making about $24 an hour while working 60+ hours a week in a restaurant, the difference was obvious. Even at the lower end, I was earning more per hour than I ever did as a head chef — with far more control over my schedule. And in certain cases — like small in-home cooking classes — I’ve earned as much as $468 per hour for my time. Some weeks are steady. Some events pay significantly more. But the key difference is this: I’m no longer capped by a salary. I control my time. I choose my clients. And I don’t miss holidays anymore. I packaged everything I learned into The Private Chef Blueprint — the guide I wish I had when I was starting out. If I had this roadmap back then, I would have saved years of trial and error. That’s why I wrote this book.
"I created this book because I’m tired of seeing talented cooks sacrifice their time, their families, and their future for less than they’re worth.
There’s a better way — and I want to show you exactly how to build it." - Chef Daniel Lubin
