A chef for the stay, not just the evening.
Stay Chef is the vacation-chef rhythm: the same chef in your kitchen across the trip — coffee and breakfast before the beach, kids’ meals handled early, dinner when you want it. Day rates are published per island.
What a day with a Stay Chef looks like
Morning shop, breakfast service, the fridge stocked for the day, and dinner cooked and served in the evening — with menus agreed in advance and dietary flags carried across every meal, not re-explained nightly.
Day rates: Oʻahu from $850 · Maui from $1,050 · Kauaʻi from $1,100 · Big Island from $950. Groceries at cost with receipts; the fee stack itemized as always.
Who books it
Multi-generational villa weeks, retreat groups, wedding parties between events, and anyone who has done the math on restaurant-seat logistics for twelve people twice a day. Three days is the usual minimum; a full week is the norm in peak season.
Questions, answered

Three days is the working minimum — below that, a signature dinner or two usually serves you better and costs less. Your written quote will say so plainly if that is the case.
