How yhangry Turned Chef Simon into a Private Dining Powerhouse"},"content":{"rendered":"<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>Six months ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/yhangry.com\/booking\/chef\/simon-b-1\">Chef Simon<\/a> made the leap from traditional kitchens to <a href=\"https:\/\/yhangry.com\/booking\/chef-register\">becoming a private chef<\/a> \u2014 and it\u2019s safe to say, he hasn\u2019t looked back. With nearly two decades of experience behind him, including time as head chef at a top gastropub, he was no stranger to high standards or long hours. But the move to private cheffing has transformed not just his career, but his life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>Simon\u2019s story mirrors a growing trend we\u2019re seeing at <a href=\"https:\/\/yhangry.com\/\">yhangry<\/a>: chefs with years of professional kitchen experience are choosing flexibility and better pay over the hustle of traditional hospitality. And like many, it all started with uploading that first menu on yhangry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-gastropubs-to-guest-homes\"><strong>From Gastropubs to Guest Homes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>Simon\u2019s culinary journey started young \u2014 he was already working in kitchens by age 15. Over the years, he built up a solid CV: hotels, weddings, banquets, and gastropubs. But even with all that experience, the lifestyle was beginning to take its toll.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -quote\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p><em>\u201cNow, I\u2019m earning in a single evening what I used to make in a whole week, but it\u2019s not just about the money \u2014 it\u2019s about being home in the evenings, having more time with my wife and kids. That\u2019s something I never had in the restaurant world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>We\u2019ve seen this echoed across <a href=\"https:\/\/yhangry.com\/booking\/chefs\">yhangry chefs<\/a> who\u2019ve left full-time kitchen jobs. Many say they\u2019re now working fewer hours but enjoying more fulfilling, creative work. It\u2019s not uncommon for chefs on our platform to replace their full-time salaries within a month of consistent quoting \u2014 especially during seasonal peaks. Simon\u2019s experience is proof that the leap pays off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starting-on-yhangry-as-a-private-chef\"><strong>Starting on yhangry as a private chef<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>Chef Simon joined yhangry in November, and like many chefs starting out, the first few weeks were quiet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -quote\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p><em>\u201cI was sending out 50 quotes, and maybe getting 5 bookings,\u201d he says. \u201cBut <a href=\"https:\/\/yhangry.com\/booking\/chef\/Mike-S\">Chef Mike <\/a>gave me great advice. He told me to improve my profile, be patient, and keep quoting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>That mentorship paid off. Simon reworked his profile, added over 15 varied menus, and made them flexible \u2014 unpriced, so he could quote depending on the customer\u2019s budget. He also prepped for seasonal demand, learning from early missteps. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -quote\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p><em>\u201cI missed the Christmas rush, but I was ready by January.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>What\u2019s powerful about the yhangry community is how chefs uplift one another. Simon isn\u2019t alone \u2014 our chef network often mentors new joiners, helping them fast-track their success. The most successful chefs on yhangry tend to follow the same blueprint: attractive menus, regular quoting, and being responsive. These small tweaks can double your booking rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-week-in-the-life-of-a-private-chef\"><strong>A Week in the Life of a Private Chef<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>A typical week for Simon might include 1\u20133 bookings over the weekend, with prep beginning midweek. He organises his prep across multiple days if there are different menus involved and brings his own pans, crockery, and knives to every job \u2014 because no two kitchens are ever the same.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -quote\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p><em>\u201cBeing organised is everything,\u201d he says. \u201cI treat it like running my own business, not just showing up and cooking.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>This \u201cbusiness owner\u201d mindset is something we see time and time again in chefs who succeed on yhangry. They take ownership of their schedules, presentation, and even branding. Several former sous chefs and head chefs have shared how empowering it feels to run their own calendar, build repeat clients, and even increase their average order value just by adjusting their setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-for-it-advice-for-new-chefs\"><strong>\u201cGo For It\u201d: Advice for New Chefs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -paragraph\">\n<p>For chefs thinking about giving private cheffing a go, Simon\u2019s message is clear: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -quote\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"core-block -list\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><div class=\"core-block -list-item\">\n<li><strong>\u201cGo for it.\u201d<\/strong> Starting your private cheffing journey can be daunting, but taking the first step is key.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -list-item\">\n<li><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s tough at first.\u201d<\/strong> Expect challenges \u2014 getting quotes out, perfecting your profile, and updating menus can feel overwhelming.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -list-item\">\n<li>Consistently keep <strong>updating your profile<\/strong> and <strong>refining your menu<\/strong> to attract potential clients.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -list-item\">\n<li><strong>\u201cYou need to get your quotes out.\u201d<\/strong> The more quotes you send, the higher your chances of landing a gig.<\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"core-block -list-item\">\n<li>Stay persistent \u2014 <strong>momentum is key<\/strong>.
