Who We Are

The PCI Philosophy

Private Chefs, Inc. was established because we believe there is a real need for an agency that specializes solely on personal chef placements run by people who, themselves, have experience working in the hospitality industry and private homes.

A private chef needs to have a service-oriented mindset, be a team player, think on his/her feet, adjust quickly to ever-changing plans and last-minute requests, and adapt to the varying needs of our clients. What PCI chefs do extremely well is accommodate those needs.

At PCI, we believe that placing a chef in a residence, estate, or yacht is a service that needs specific attention by specialists who have a unique grasp of what is needed to satisfy the client’s and chef’s needs to make a perfect long-term match.

How It Works:

  • Contact us by phone or fill out the online client request form
  • Once we are in touch with you we will discuss your specific needs in detail and answer any questions you might have including our fees & guarantees.
  • When we have all the info we need we will send an email introduction and start the search.
  • We usually provide a minimum of 8 candidates within 24 hours, each resume will include a photo of the candidate his/her full professional back ground, a bio, references and each individual chef’s salary requirement.

After you had a chance to review the resumes we will assist with setting up interviews & test cookings for the chefs you selected.

We are also available during the whole hiring process to answer any questions you might have about the individual chefs, salary norms, benefits etc. etc.

The PCI Promise

All limited engagements come with a free replacement guarantee for the duration of the engagement.
