A Stay Chef week in Princeville.
Princeville’s estate portfolios run from $450 a night to five figures a week — and their concierges arrange chef service one dinner at a time. A Stay Chef week books the same island crew direct: from $1,100 a day, itemized, in writing.
A Princeville week, sketched
Seven days, one chef:
- Day 1 — arrival dinner timed to your landing; fridge already stocked
- Day 2 — breakfast, beach-day cooler, family-style dinner
- Day 3 — rest-day brunch; evening free for the house
- Day 4 — Signature coursed dinner for the whole table
- Day 5 — kids’ early seating, parents’ late Date Night
- Day 6 — pūpū hour on the veranda, light supper after
- Day 7 — farewell brunch; the kitchen left cleaner than arrival
Booking it
Send dates, the house (or its manager), and headcount. The written quote itemizes the day rate, expected staffing for event nights, the surcharge, and the fee stack. The 50% deposit locks the week only after you’ve read every line.
Questions, answered
Seven days run from $7,700 for the chef’s time plus groceries at cost, the North Shore surcharge per service day, and any staffed event nights — then 20% service and GET on their own lines. The quote itemizes all of it.
Yes — gate access, quiet hours, and kitchen rules settle before service. We work cleanly with Princeville’s estate agencies; booking direct simply puts the written quote in your hands first.
That’s the common pattern: rhythm days on the day rate, one event night with servers and a sous at published hourlys. One contract covers both.
