How far in advance can I book?
We encourage booking as early as possible — especially for weekends or popular dates. For travel chef services, 4–6 weeks' notice is ideal to secure logistics. Local private chef bookings can often be accommodated with 1–2 weeks' notice depending on availability.
What areas do you serve?
Fast Feads operates locally in Florida and offers Travel Chef Services nationwide. Contact us with your event location for a custom travel quote.
What is your cancelation policy?
Cancellations must be made at least 7 days before the event to avoid forfeit of the service fee.
Do you require a contract or service agreement?
Yes. For all bookings, clients receive a service agreement outlining the scope of services, pricing, cancellation policy, and expectations.
Submitting a deposit and confirming a booking indicates acceptance of the service agreement and policies provided. This ensures clarity and protects both parties.
Do I need to provide kitchen tools or equipment?
Yes — clients are expected to provide a functional kitchen with standard cookware, utensils, and appliances. Fast Feads does carry select tools, serving pieces, and specialty items when needed; however, essential kitchen equipment (stove, oven, cookware, basic utensils) must be available at the service location. If there are any concerns about kitchen setup, please let us know during booking so accommodations can be discussed in advance.
