From Restaurant Kitchens to Private Dining<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Before joining yhangry, Chef Fouad<\/a> was working full-time in restaurants, earning around \u00a33,000 per month before tax. The hours were long, the pace relentless, and while the pay was decent, there was little room for flexibility or personal growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cI was still passionate about food,\u201d he recalls, \u201cbut I wanted more control over my time and the type of work I did.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Around 2019, he began exploring private cheffing. At first, it was a side project \u2014 he signed up to yhangry<\/a> and took on a few bookings while still holding down his restaurant role. He also taught part-time at The Royal Masonic School for Girls to keep income flowing while he tested the waters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

A Smart, Gradual Transition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Fouad didn\u2019t leave his job overnight. His goal was clear: build up to 2\u20133 private bookings per week.<\/strong> That, combined with his teaching income, would give him the confidence to move into private cheffing full-time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

He began by accepting hourly-paid events, but as his reputation grew alongside the platform, yhangry gave him greater control \u2014 especially over menus<\/a> and pricing. That shift made a difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cOnce I could price my own menus, it was exciting. I could decide what worked for me, what was worth the time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

What Private Chefs Really Earn<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n

Now working independently through yhangry, Fouad\u2019s income isn\u2019t fixed month to month \u2014 but over time, it\u2019s added up to more than what he earned in restaurants. The big difference? He sets the pace, chooses his bookings, and has the freedom to plan his year around what works for him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
