A private chef can work either live-in or live-out, depending on the employer’s needs and the arrangement agreed upon. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Live-In Private Chef
Lives at the employer’s residence, usually with private living quarters.
Typical for:
Employers who want flexibility for early mornings, late dinners, or last-minute meal requests
Larger households or estates where meals are prepared daily
Situations where the chef might also assist with household staff coordination
Benefits:
Immediate availability for meal prep and emergencies
Stronger integration into household routines
Accommodation usually provided as part of compensation
Considerations:
Less personal privacy
May involve longer or irregular hours
Employer must provide suitable living space
Live-Out Private Chef
Commuting daily and not residing on the property.
Typical for:
Smaller households or those with regular, set meal times
Employers preferring clear boundaries between work and personal life
Chefs who prefer to maintain their own home life separately
Benefits:
Clear separation between work and personal time
More personal freedom and privacy
Suitable for fixed schedules
Considerations:
Not available outside agreed working hours
Commute may affect availability for last-minute requests
May require more planning and coordination
Which Setup Is Best?
Flexible, daily meal prep with quick response – Live-In may be better
Regular meals with fixed schedule – Live-Out may be better
Large households or estates – Live-In may be better
Smaller homes or part-time needs – Live-Out may be better
