FAQ

What is included in the cooking service package?

Cooking service by home chefs or part-time assistant includes customized menu planning and in-home meal preparation for lunch and dinner, ranging from soups, snacks, sweets and so on. If you wish the part-time helper to babysit or clean your house, we strongly recommend you to consider our other packages such as All-inclusive Nanny.

Are there any additional charges?

If you want the home chef to grocery shop or clean up for you, or any other service request, additional charges may apply. For remote areas, $25-$200 of transportation fee will be charged per service according to the calculated walking distance on Google Map. All additional charges will be listed in the detailed payment forms, so you don't have to worry about any charges at the door as all payments are upfront.

Do I have to purchase Workers' Compensation Insurance for the part time helper?

According to Section 40 of the Employees' Compensation Ordinance, all employers (including contractors and sub-contractors) are required to take out insurance policies to cover their liabilities both under the Ordinance and at common law for injuries at work in respect of all their employees, irrespective of the length of employment contract or working hours, full-time or part-time, permanent job or temporary employment. An employer who fails to comply with the Ordinance to secure an insurance cover commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a maximum fine of HK$100,000 and imprisonment for two years.

Any expiry date for service package?

After purchasing the service, all service should be used before the expiry date, otherwise they will be considered forfeit.

1-time:within one month

Can I cancel or modify the order after purchasing the services?

Yes, you can, but the following cancellation policy applies:
Cancellation - You need to cancel at least one business day before the service usage time. You will be charged a $100 administrative fee for cancellation, and the remaining balance of the service will be refunded within 7-14 business days. If you cancel on the day of the service, no refund will be given. We suggest you continue to let the service personnel serve you.

Changes - We only accept changes made at least one business day before the service usage time, and a $50 administrative fee will be charged for each change in service. If you request changes on the day of the service, your request will not be accepted. We suggest you continue to let the service personnel serve you.

In order to avoid potential theft, all valuables such as jewelry should be securely stored in an inaccessible area. Important documents should also be securely stored and differentiated from other papers. If you have pets or plants, they should be properly situated for the convenience of the part-time home chef.

Additionally, any areas of the house that are off-limits should be clearly communicated to the home chef. If any individuals in the home have food allergies, this should ideally be communicated to the chef before the cooking session so they can prepare and adjust recipes accordingly.
