Scale Your Chef Roster & Bookings While We Handle
Inquiry Vetting, Menus & Client Coordination

Why Private Chef Founders Partner With Sagedoer
High-net-worth clients, luxury estates, and vacation villas expect instant responsiveness and white-glove communication. We keep your agency running seamlessly behind the pass.
Rapid Client Lead Intake
Never lose an ultra-luxury dinner booking to slow responses. Your VA qualifies incoming leads, collects party sizes, dietary restrictions, kitchen equipment specs, and verifies event dates immediately.
Chef Matchmaking & Scheduling
We track your talent roster’s calendar availability, cuisine specialties (French classic, Omakase, plant-based, Mediterranean), geographic zones, and dispatch the perfect private chef in minutes.
Allergy & Dietary Documentation
Zero room for cross-contact errors. We maintain precise client dietary dossiers—flagging celiac, tree nut, shellfish, kosher, halal, or keto preferences directly to the chef’s kitchen prep sheet.
Proposals, Deposits & Food Budgets
Your VA generates bespoke client proposals, collects retainer deposits in HoneyBook/Dubsado, manages grocery reimbursement receipts, and processes chef contractor payout splits.
Roster Compliance & Insurance Audits
Ensure your chefs are legally shielded. We audit ServSafe certifications, food handler permits, general liability COIs, signed contractor agreements, and client non-disclosure agreements (NDAs).
Dedicated Project Manager ($0 Fee)
Enjoy complete peace of mind. Your dedicated Sagedoer Project Manager oversees daily VA communication, ensures booking response times remain lightning-fast, and audits guest paperwork.
Hospitality & Agency Tools We Master
We integrate directly with your CRM, booking pipelines, recipe costing databases, and contractor portals.
