Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 2026

These Terms & Conditions govern private chef, meal prep, catering, and event services provided by Chef Ellis. By booking a service, you agree to the following.

Proposals & Quotes

After you submit an inquiry, we prepare a custom proposal and quote based on the details you provide. Final pricing varies based on guest count, menu selections, staffing, travel, rentals, and service requirements, and is confirmed in your proposal.

Deposits

A deposit is required to reserve your date. Deposits secure your booking and are non-refundable unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Final Guest Count

Your final guest count is due before service and is used to finalize menu quantities and pricing. Increases after that point are accommodated when possible and may adjust the final balance.

Balance & Payment

The final balance is due before or on the service date unless other arrangements are made in writing.

Cancellations & Rescheduling

If you need to cancel or reschedule, contact us as early as possible. Deposits are non-refundable, but we will make reasonable efforts to reschedule your date when availability allows.

Allergies & Dietary Restrictions

We take allergies and dietary restrictions seriously and build menus around your needs when disclosed in advance. Because ingredients are handled in shared kitchens, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Please disclose all allergies at booking.

Liability

Services are provided with professional care. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount paid for the service in question.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
