why chefs choose Tiny Spoon over going it alone

Independent vs. Tiny Spoon for Wisconsin chefs

Working independently gives you control, but it also gives you a second job: finding households, answering inquiries, planning routes, sending invoices, chasing payments, and finding coverage when you need time off. Tiny Spoon puts a team behind the business side, so a day off can actually mean an afternoon at the Memorial Union Terrace or dinner out, not another afternoon catching up on invoices.

• No vacation coverage. Miss too much time and the income goes first, the client isn't far behind.
• One bad season and there's no floor underneath you
• Late payments you have to chase yourself
• You're the marketer, biller, and bookkeeper before you're the chef
• Health insurance out of pocket, at individual-market rates

• A market team that covers you when you're out, plus paid time off so it doesn't cost you income.
• Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm, evenings and weekends free
• A steady paycheck and paid prep time, every week
• Billing, scheduling, and client care handled for you
• Clients found, vetted, and matched to your style
• W-2 status with benefits for full-time chefs

Benefits without the burnout. Consistent schedules without the craziness. Relationships without the restaurant drama.
