How to Grow a Personal Chef Business with AirBnB and Vacation Rentals

Personal Chef Business Startup Guide

Are you a personal chef looking to grow your business and get more clients without spending a ton on advertising? In this episode of the Personal Chef Business Startup Guide, part of the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast network, I’m sharing one of my most downloaded solo episodes, focused on a game-changing strategy that helped me scale my business: partnering with Airbnb and vacation rental property owners directly.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How vacation rentals like Airbnb and VRBO can become your #1 source of clients
• Why I’m booking 10-15 person parties instead of just couples—and how you can too
• The exact steps to find and contact vacation rental hosts and property managers
• How to create a media kit that gets shared with every guest staying at a property
• Tips for becoming a preferred or exclusive chef for a vacation home
• Why rural locations and wine country rentals can be gold mines for private chefs

I also cover the power of social media tagging and how one comped dinner can lead to recurring gigs. Whether you're new to the personal chef business or looking to scale, this episode will give you practical, actionable advice.
