Behind the Sauté is a booking and payment page for private chefs.
Send one link. Get booking details. Get paid.
Your client picks a menu, fills out a short request, pays a deposit or full amount, and you approve or decline from one dashboard.
If this sounds like you, this helps: you are chasing deposits, missing allergy notes, or double-checking headcount from old texts.

The DM spiral vs one booking link
Keep texting if you want. This just gives you one link for details and payment.
Before
- You answer the same 20 questions in DMs and email threads.
- Headcount changes twice, then allergy notes get buried.
- You are on a grocery run and still chasing the kitchen address and deposit.
After
- You send one link and the client picks a menu and date.
- They fill in headcount, allergies, timing, and kitchen address in one form.
- You approve or decline, payment is collected, and event details stay in one place.
How It Works
From first message to confirmed booking in four steps.
Share your link
Send your booking page in a text, email, or Instagram DM. Clients can see your menus and experiences without asking for screenshots.
Client answers the questions you always ask
They add date, timing, headcount, kitchen address, allergies, and notes in one guided form.
You approve or decline
Every request lands in your dashboard. Accept the ones you want and decline the ones that do not fit your calendar.
Payment happens and details stay in one place
After approval, they get a payment link by email. You can collect a deposit, full payment, or let guests chip in.

Why chefs stick with it
I got three booking requests today and each one is buried in a different text thread.
Send one link. People pick a menu and submit details in one place, so you stop hunting through old messages.
I am still asking for headcount, allergies, and the kitchen address the day before the event.
The form collects those details up front. You get one clean request before you start prep or grocery shopping.
I spend too much time chasing deposits, then people ghost.
After you approve, the payment link goes out right away. You can collect a deposit or full payment.
Who this is for
If booking work comes through texts and email, this will feel familiar.
Private chefs doing regular events
You book a few events every month, handle client messages yourself, and want one clean way to collect details and payment.
Chefs growing a small team
You are juggling more dates, trying to avoid double-booking, and need requests, payments, and confirmations in one place.
Who this is not for
Chefs who only do one event every few months and do not care about deposits or keeping event details organized.
