The private chef profession is attracting more and more professionals in search of freedom. But how do you go about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: Choose your status<\/strong><br>Self-employed, company or cooperative?

Organization is the key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Find your first customers<\/strong><br>Platforms such as<a href=\"https:\/\/guidemytable.fr\/en\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"21\"> MyTable<\/a> make it easy to enter the market. With just a few clicks, you can present your menus and photos, and receive booking requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Realities on the ground<\/strong><br>The job is demanding: frequent travel, logistics, improvisation.
