What happens after you submit
A coordinator in Hawaii Standard Time reads the five fields and replies in business hours — typically within one working day. You get a menu direction, a crew size, and a written price with service and GET on their own lines. No account. No payment to ask. One honest follow-up, not a drip campaign.
Oʻahu and Maui receive a request-a-quote reply: menu direction, crew, written total. Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island receive an inquiry-list reply: we log the shore and the dates and write back with what we can staff when a crew exists. The form is the same. The button is not “Book now.”
We do not invent Hawaiʻi reviews or chef names to look established. Proof today is published starting prices, sample menus, and this form. Reviews publish after verified events — see /trust. Reach the desk on WhatsApp, quotes@mychef-hawaii.com, or (808) 468-7748. Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island selections are inquiry, not instant book. If the kitchen cannot host a chef, we decline before a deposit, not after.
How to make the quote accurate
Island, dates, headcount, and service are enough to start. Property type helps: villa, condo, hotel residence, or no kitchen. Allergies and a bartender belong in the first reply thread, not as a surprise at the pass. 50% locks the date once you accept the written total.
Name the island that matches the house. Honolulu is an Oʻahu corridor — /honolulu on that host — not a separate company. Kona is a Hawaiʻi Island corridor — /kona. Neighborhood corridors — /wailea, /kahala, /princeville, /waikoloa — live on the island hosts. Name the house on /quote so we price the drive.
Oʻahu CORE dinners are $195–$290 a guest. Maui CORE is $225–$375. Those bands hold menu, shopping, cooking, service, and cleanup. Staffing for a ten-to-seventy-five room is hourly on top. The confirmed number is the written quote — never a chat estimate.
If dates are flexible, say so. Peak months move first on every island. One crew holds one heavy week. We will not invent a second brigade to look available. WhatsApp, (808) 468-7748, and this form are the same Hawaii desk — typical reply in Hawaii business hours. No street office. A 50% deposit is the only money that locks a date — after you accept the written total, never before. 20% service and Hawaiʻi GET up to 4.712% sit on their own written-quote lines. Oʻahu CORE is $195–$290 a guest. Maui CORE is $225–$375. Those numbers do not change because the form is short.
