Set a menu approval deadline for a private chef
A menu needs a point at which planning becomes preparation. Agreeing an approval deadline helps the chef arrange ingredients and the household understand which changes remain practical. The deadline should follow the actual assignment, supplier arrangements and working schedule, rather than being an arbitrary rule introduced after requests have already changed.

Approve the whole menu
Confirm dishes, portions, serving order and important preferences together. Approving dish names alone may leave significant decisions unresolved. Ask the chef to identify any missing information before considering the menu final. The household should nominate one person to settle those questions and communicate the approved version to everyone involved in the event.
Explain what approval authorises
State whether approval allows ingredient purchasing, preparation scheduling or arranging extra support. The chef and host should share the same understanding before costs or commitments arise. Keep any financial agreement clear and separate from general menu discussion. A casual positive comment during brainstorming should not be mistaken for permission to proceed with every suggested option.
Use a visible change record
After approval, record requested changes and their practical consequences. The chef may need to explain different ingredients, timing or support. The host should confirm whether to proceed after hearing that information. Do not circulate an updated guest menu while the kitchen still works from the original version, as this creates contradictory expectations at service.
Agree a workable fallback
Identify what happens if a key ingredient or piece of equipment becomes unavailable. The fallback should be approved by the host and suitable for the event. Avoid demanding an identical result where the original conditions cannot be met. A clear alternative lets the chef respond efficiently while keeping the final decision with the authorised household contact.
A practical example to adapt
Hypothetical example: a host approves a four-dish menu and authorises ingredient purchases. Later, a guest requests another main course. The chef explains that adding it changes the preparation schedule. The host chooses to replace an existing dish instead and confirms the revised menu to both the kitchen and serving team before work continues.
