Want Gather Round in your kitchen?
Follow these steps to get started.
Step 1: Reach out via our Contact page
We want to know where you’re located, which service you’re interested in, and a little more about your situation. This information is sent directly to Chef Ariel via email.
She’ll email you back to invite you to Step 2 — or if you’re looking for something that Gather Round can’t offer, she’ll send you in the right direction.
Step 2: Schedule your free consultation
We’ll go into more detail to find out what brings you to Gather Round and whether our services are a good fit. Based on our conversation, we’ll be able to propose the options and prices that are right for you.
Step 3: Sign your proposal
Now it’s up to you: will Gather Round make it easier for your family to relax and connect over good food? If so, sign the proposal and indicate your preferred plan.
If our chefs have immediate availability, we’ll ask for a deposit to secure the space in our calendar and go right to Step 4!
Otherwise, you’ll be placed on our free waiting list until there’s a calendar opening for you. Don’t worry — we like to keep the list short.
Step 4: Schedule your kickoff meeting
This is the moment for us to get down with all the details we’ll need to do excellent work for your family.
In the case of ongoing cooking, this looks like a visit to your kitchen and a thorough conversation about dietary needs and preferences. We’ll keep all your information safe and organized.
In the case of vacation catering, lessons, or a party, this looks like a planning session via phone.
If you’re giving Gather Round as a gift, this step will be done with your lucky recipient!
Step 5: Gather Round, y’all!
You’re officially a Gather Round client! We’re ready to help your family spend more quality time together and less time stressing about food.
Pull up a chair and get ready to relax and connect over a good dinner with your favorite folks.
