The Full Chef Service
Starting from $495/week + FRESH GROCERIES
Best for couples with large appetites and families with many mouths to feed.
The Full service is the ultimate Beyond Nourished experience, perfectly suited for couples with hungry tummies or busy families that have a lot of mouths to feed and too little time to do it.
Do you wish you never again had to answer the “what’s for dinner question?” Let us solve this dilemma with 5 family-style dinners with sides (with portions large enough to ensure leftovers for lunch!). We’ll even throw in a snack option to sweeten the deal.
Or maybe you enjoy cooking dinner a couple of nights per week and would rather have 3 family-style dinners and individually packed lunches to take to the office all week.
Whatever it takes to take care of your family’s needs, our full service is large enough that we can tailor the formula to be exactly what you need - leaving you well-nourished and suddenly with a lot more time on your hands!
Frequently Asked Questions
HOW MANY MEALS CAN I EXPECT WITH A FULL SERVICE
A full service will take care of you and your family’s needs for roughly 5-6 days. Once you fill out your intake form, we will know what food formula will work best for you.
Consider us your food fairies - your wish is our command! Whatever it takes to take care of your family’s needs for the week is what we will tailor your service to provide.
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AMOUNT PER WEEK OF THE FULL SERVICE INCLUDING GROCERY?
Somewhere around $725/week. (Excluding 5% GST and any delivery charges.)
Keep in mind that each week your labour costs stay the same, but your grocery costs will fluctuate based on your menu selections. The grocery budget range for our full service is between $225-$250. If you need to stick to a strict grocery budget, please let us know. We will tailor your menu to ensure that happens.
FYI - For those looking to save some cash, we have a free pick-up option available from our location in Vancouver at 4172 Fraser Street.
WHAT IF I WANT EXPENSIVE CUTS OF MEAT OR SPECIALITY INGREDIENTS?
No problem. Because you are paying for the actual grocery costs, we can include any items you like. Just keep in mind that your grocery bill will be a little more expensive than usual that week.
WHAT IF MY IN-LAWS ARE IN TOWN THAT WEEK AND I NEED TO CHANGE OUR FORMULA?
No problem! Just let your chef know at least a week in advance and we will make it happen with no extra labour charges.
DO YOU DELIVER OUTSIDE OF VANCOUVER?
Yes. We charge a flat rate of $35 for delivery and an additional $.61/km round trip from our location for all deliveries outside of the Vancouver area.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY DELIVERY?
You will have a regular day for service each week and we will give you a 2 hour delivery window between 3-7pm for when you can expect your delivery. Our driver will send you an ETA once they are en route. If you need to get food on the table by a specific time, please let us know and we will try our best to accommodate.
We also offer a pickup option from our location. Pick-up orders will typically be ready earlier than our delivery windows - and as a bonus, it’s free to pick up!
WHAT IS THE FOOD PACKAGED IN?
All of your food is stored and labelled in reusable glass and/or compostable containers.
WHAT IF I’M GOING ON VACATION OR GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN?
Any interruption to your weekly service requires a minimum of 1 week’s notice - otherwise, you will be charged that week’s labour but not the grocery costs.
If regular weekly service sounds like too much of a commitment, consider our B.Nourished program. This is the perfect option for the commitment-phobe or constant traveller.
HOW LONG DOES THE FOOD STAY FRESH?
We are very creative with our menu planning and design each menu in a way that ensures maximum freshness. For our full-service clients, we always indicate which meals should be eaten first and include at least one menu item that can be frozen to enjoy later in the week.
We also offer a Prepped to Cook option, which is where we do all of the heavy lifting - prepping, chopping, and marinading - and then leave you with instructions for how to cook the meal.
While this does require a little more work on your part, we love this option because you can still have dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less - and your food will always taste fresh rather than reheated.
WHAT IF I WANT SERVICE MORE THAN ONCE per WEEK?
Just let us know - we can cook for you as many days as you like! However, the most cost-effective service is once per week.
