What shapes your quote
Chef expertise, ingredients, service style, travel, staffing, and the level of preparation all influence the final proposal. Marketplace requests preserve the request currency by country: GBP for the United Kingdom, USD for the United States, EUR for Italy, and KES for Kenya.
