Created & provided by Chef Crusco Catering in Austin, Texas

Is my kitchen big enough?

Do you bring your own equipment?

Do you bring staff?

Who will clean up?

Is it expensive?

So many valid questions and so many reasons why you may be reluctant and want to learn more before hiring a reputable Private Chef or Catering Company in Austin, Texas. Let us tame those worries and provide answers that will make moving forward an easier and more well informed decision process. Here are 8 reasons why hiring a Catering & Private Chef company is better.

  1. Service Specific Events: We have packages for all types of events and budgets. So whether you want to spend $50/person or $250/person, our four different service levels will provide that as well as choices within each level that you can choose from to create your own menu.
  2. Transparency & Education: We are here to earn your trust before making any financial decisions. What that means is that we are happy to provide customers with online estimates before any commitment. We are also here to provide you with almost two decades of event experience. So, allow us to be your guide when concerned about kitchen size, guest counts and servingware.
  3. The best table in town…”your home”: In your home, we can not only use your china but also create personal table scapes and serve your special wines that always have a back story you can share with your guests. At restaurants and venues, you always have to deal with traffic, parking or time restricted tables. The choice is yours.
  4. Cost Effectiveness: Avoid the $20 valet or $80 uber charge. But mainly why be a part of the 200-300% wine mark up that restaurants charge? Spend the money on your own private chef, food and enjoy it all with your own wines.
  5. Entertainment: Remember having a private chef in your own home is pretty amazing and an experience to enjoy! Our Chefs are fun, charming, outgoing and ready to talk with you and your guests about food and any other questions you may have.
  6. You are a guest at your own party: Worried if David needs more wine? Does Shelly need a fork? Do we need special cooking equipment? We get it. Entertaining can be stressful and having to worry about what you and your guests need takes away from your abilty to enjoy it. So, leave all the worrying to us! We take pride in service, execution and attention to detail.
  7. Memorable touches: What separates a good vs great dining experience? The small touches that generate fond memories. Chef Crusco Catering provides card stock designed menus, surprise menu add ons and always finishes the dinner with menu specific Confectionery bags for each guest to take home and remember the night.
  8. Signature Departure Service: The end of the night can be daunting when think of the mess left behind and the clean up required that night or the following morning. Not with Chef Crusco Catering. Our serving staff (always on site for events) will leave your kitchen as clean if not cleaner than when we arrived. Prior to leaving, our staff will bring the hostess into the kitchen and get her approval of cleanliness. We will not leave until she is satisfied.

Our hope is that the information provided above answers some of the questions you have and makes the buying decision process a little bit easier for you. We want to earn your trust and be a source of information for you and your event so feel free to reach out directly with any other concerns you may have.
