Starting salaryPKR 35,000 per month
Male home cooks for everyday family meals and a well-organised kitchen.
These starting salaries are for customers hiring staff. They are not fixed quotes or advertised vacancies. The agreed salary depends on duties, experience, hours and living arrangements. Confirm the current amount, applicable employment requirements, candidate availability and written terms before hiring. Part-time hours and specialist care need an individual quote. Repairs, skilled trades and event assignments are priced separately by scope; confirm charges, materials and applicable service terms before booking.
One-time placement fee
For monthly staff placements: equal to one agreed monthly salary, payable once you hire. Separate from the staff member’s salary.
Monthly salary
Paid directly to the staff member. No recurring agency commission.
Replacement support
Monthly staff placements include six months of replacement support under the written conditions. Confirm the procedure and eligibility before hiring.
Arrangements
Monthly placements with agreed full-time, live-in, live-out or part-time hours, subject to the role and availability.
Service area
Islamabad and Rawalpindi only. Share your sector, neighbourhood or society phase when enquiring.
Budget example: if the agreed monthly salary is PKR 35,000, one full month’s salary plus the one-time placement fee totals PKR 70,000. This example excludes any separately agreed expenses and is not a payment schedule.
To request staff, share the role, area, main responsibilities, working hours and preferred start date. Enquiring is free; a placement and start date are confirmed after discussion. This contact is for customers hiring staff, not employment applications.
For a male home cook in Faisal Town, call 0334 1041114. Share your block, duties and hours so we can discuss current candidates. The one-time placement fee equals one month’s agreed salary; six-month replacement support follows the written conditions.
Choose a meal window that works with the journey
For a Faisal Town cook enquiry, begin with when food must be served rather than a general request for morning or evening help. Breakfast at a fixed time requires arrival, preparation and cooking beforehand. A dinner-only routine may suit a shorter shift, provided the candidate can reach your block and return home after kitchen cleanup.
Send the block, required arrival time and expected finish together. Ask the cook to explain the journey they would actually use. A workable arrangement should not depend on an unconfirmed lift from a family member every day. If the commute cannot support the routine, discuss a different shift or a properly defined live-in role.
Decide who buys the ingredients
A home cook can prepare a shopping list without necessarily leaving the house to buy everything. For your Faisal Town kitchen, specify whether the family orders groceries, the cook shops within agreed hours, or a helper collects supplies. Keep this responsibility separate from the number of meals.
Ask for an opening pantry list before the first day. Record quantities already available, the family’s usual staples and what should be bought fresh. A simple weekly list reduces last-minute errands that would otherwise interrupt cooking. Agree a budget and receipts process whenever the cook handles household money.
Use a practical family-menu interview
Describe three meals your household regularly eats and ask how the candidate would prepare them. Discuss roti timing, spice preferences, portions and how leftovers should be stored. The useful question is whether the cook can deliver your routine consistently, rather than whether they can name many cuisines.
For any trial, agree its length, tasks and payment beforehand. Review cleanliness, organisation and communication alongside taste. Explain changes directly and keep a short written menu for the first week. A cook-cum-helper request should state the additional duties so that cooking time is protected.
