75% Deposit required for recipe development & 100% payment for freelance chef bookings

By making payment of the deposit you agree to the food by dash terms and conditions.

Please note that a deposit is required upon acceptance of the quote. I would like to take some time to explain why a deposit is a standard required in my business. A deposit confirms a booking & the work which allows me to allocate the appropriate time to you and your product this minimises the chances of non-payment from clients after I have already worked on a project, used valuable hours developing the product and paid for ingredients. Deposits are a financial commitment which is required to ensure clients do not disappear half-way through a project or change the brief after valuable time has been spent on the initial agreed outcome.  

INGREDIENTS

The ingredients cost for the development process and tastings is not included in the quote. Ingredients purchased will need to be reimbursed following each tasting. If we use ingredients from your store, it is important that they are made available in time for preparations & recipe testing to take place. Any outstanding ingredients will be purchased and will need to be reimbursed. 

training

Training is charged at either a half day or full day rate. Contact Food by Dash for more information on rate structure and procedure.

overtime

A full day is 8 hours and a half day is 4 hours. Any hours worked in excess of that is overtime worked and will be charged for by the hour.

Use

Before full payment of the relevant invoice is complete, no use may be made of the recipes & images without the recipe developers/food stylists permission.

Cancellation & postponement

Once a booking has been confirmed, 100% charged if cancelled within 72 business hours and 50% if within 5 working days. Depending on the scope of the work

RECIPE change procedure

  6. The change will be 0.2

  7. The changes will be updated and agreed by the recipe developer and client and the final version will be 1.0

  8. Any version subsequent to version 1.0 will constitute a new recipe and will be billed as such.
