Private Chef: How Much Staff for a Successful Dinner?

For an intimate table of up to six guests, a chef alone is usually enough to orchestrate the kitchen and simple service. Between six and eight, a sous-chef streamlines the pace and preserves the rhythm. Beyond that, a structured team becomes essential. Discover the formats of our private chef service and how they are composed depending on the size of your table.

A chef fully focused on cooking delivers a better plate than a chef who also clears and serves. As soon as you want a rhythmic service, plating at the table and wine pairings, adding someone dedicated to the dining room changes everything. For exceptional front-of-house and to coordinate the evening, call on our private butler.

A villa or apartment kitchen carries its own constraints: counter space, oven, storage. The more guests you have, the more the team needs room to work without obstacles. Right-sizing avoids waiting times and plates left to wait. Our page dedicated to the private chef in a villa explores these aspects for a flawless dinner.
