The AI Mentor for Private Chefs
You can plan a six-course menu around a client's allergies and taste in your head, and your own business still runs on a phone full of texts and whatever the last dinner party referred.
Every dinner is billable, but every dinner is also a one-time event unless you turn it into something recurring, and most private chefs never do.
▲ This is your week · let's name it
Every dinner is billable, but every dinner is also a one-time event unless you turn it into something recurring, and most private chefs never do. You quote per event or per head, so a client who could become a weekly meal-prep account or a monthly dinner-party regular gets treated the same as a one-off booking. Your calendar fills from word of mouth, a food blogger's mention, or whichever host tells their friends, which means your bookings depend on other people's memory instead of a system you control. And the ceiling is straightforward: you are the chef, the shopper, the menu planner, and the invoice sender, so a busier month just means more hours in the kitchen and in the car, not more income per hour.

No filler. Just what you walk away with.
Your 24/7 AI Executive Council — Atlas, Aria, Nova, Phoenix & Diana
Five specialized AI agents trained on your business, your cuisine, and your ideal client — running the parts of the business that keep you from ever getting ahead. They handle inquiry replies and booking follow-up so a new lead gets a fast, on-brand response instead of waiting for you between shifts. They build recurring meal-prep and standing-dinner packages so a great client becomes a monthly account instead of a single invoice. They turn plated dishes and client reactions into content and local visibility that brings in leads without a referral, and they set up the follow-up system that turns one dinner into a repeat booking.
A weekly 1-on-1 with your fractional CMO
A short, focused call with Italo every week on the one or two decisions that actually move your business forward — pricing your menus, packaging a standing-client offer, or deciding which referral source to double down on. No fluff, no theory, just the calls a senior operator would make if this were their kitchen.
Done-with-you systems, not a course
You are not handed a video library. You get working infrastructure — an intake flow, a pricing menu for packages versus one-off events, and a follow-up sequence — built alongside you so it fits how you actually cook and book, not a generic template.
This is for you if
- Private chefs booked with dinners who still have no real business system behind the calendar
- Chefs who quote per event and want packaged offers — weekly meal prep, standing dinners — that reflect recurring value
- Solo chefs tired of depending on word of mouth who want a dependable, repeatable lead pipeline
- Anyone losing hours to menu quotes and scheduling who wants systems to carry the business side
This is not for you if
- Chefs with no paying clients yet — build a real client base first, then systems have something to scale
- Anyone who wants a done-for-you agency running their whole business while they stay passive — MentorMe is done-with-you, and your cooking plus a few focused hours a week is the input
- Chefs looking for culinary technique training — this builds the business around your cooking, not the cooking itself
Founder —
You searched for this for a reason. You're carrying the whole thing yourself, and you're tired of being the only one who can do the work.
You don't have a discipline problem. You have a system problem — and no one ever handed you the system.
So here it is: 90 days, real systems, a fractional CMO in your corner and an AI clone doing the work you keep doing yourself. Your name stays on the win. We just rope in.
Start your plan. The first foothold is free.

▲ Before you decide
The questions you're already asking.
I am booked with events most weeks. When would I build all this?
That is exactly why it works this way. The AI executive council does the building — the lead pipeline, the recurring packages, the follow-up system — in the hours between bookings. Your weekly call with Italo is short and focused on the one or two decisions that matter. You are not adding a second job. You are getting leverage on the business you already run.
How is this different from a culinary course or a chef coaching program?
A course teaches technique. A coaching program sells you frameworks and leaves you to build the business alone on the one night off you have. MentorMe pairs a human fractional CMO with an AI executive council that actually builds your lead pipeline, your packages, and your follow-up system with you. You walk away with working infrastructure you own, not a folder of notes.
I price per event. Can this really raise what I earn per client?
Yes — package design is one of the first things Italo works on with you. We build recurring meal-prep and standing-dinner offers that capture the real value of a great ongoing client, and the AI council builds the intake and follow-up flow to support it. Raising revenue per client is usually the fastest way to grow without adding more nights in other people's kitchens.
What does the founding investment cover?
It covers the full AI executive council build for your business, weekly 1-on-1 strategy calls with Italo for 90 days, and the done-with-you systems — booking, packaging, follow-up — built specifically around how you run your chef business. Only 10 founding seats are open at this rate.
