Private Chef Website Examples (and What Makes Them Work)
Looking at other private chef websites is the fastest way to decide what yours needs. These are sites we built, so we can say exactly why each part is there. One is a private chef. The other three are event businesses, included because they solve the same problem: turning a visitor into an inquiry.
Bruno Bonnier, private chef in Barcelona
What to copy: the first screen answers three questions without scrolling: who (his name), what and where ("Private chef · Barcelona"), and how to book (a Reservation button in the top corner). The menu bar is four words: The Chef, Experiences, Menus, Contact. The site is offered in four languages, because his guests are visitors as much as locals.
The same site on a phone
What to copy: design for the phone first. The name and the city are readable at a glance, and a real photo of a dinner being served does the selling. If your site only looks good on a laptop, most of your visitors never see the good version.
Les Recettes, wedding planner
What to copy: a starting price on the first screen ("Three packages, from €1,200") and a "Check your date" button, twice. Showing a "from" price filters out people who can't afford you and reassures the ones who can. For a private chef, the same line would be a price per person.
Flair Nomad, bar service for events
What to copy: one photo that shows the whole service in action, and a single button to ask for a quote that stays in view. The navigation includes prices and questions, the two things people look for before they write.
Confetti Club, photo booth and DJ
What to copy: the main button offers to work out a quote, and three short lines under it say what is included. Telling people what they get before they ask removes a round of messages.
What the good ones have in common
- The first screen says who, what and where. A guest should not have to scroll to learn you are a private chef in their city.
- One clear button to ask for a date, visible without scrolling, on a phone.
- A starting price. Even a "from" figure.
- Real photos of your own food and your own events.
- Menus as text on the page, so guests and Google can read them.
- Reviews on the site, not only on Google.
