Hosting Made Easy

Absolutely. Customization is at the heart of what we do.

Rather than a fixed restaurant menu, we collaborate with you to design a menu that reflects:

• your preferences and dietary needs

• the style and mood of your gathering

• seasonal and chef-driven ingredients

Our goal is to create a dining experience that feels personal, thoughtful, and unique to your event — the kind of service that is difficult to find in traditional restaurant settings.

For most chef-hosted live dinner parties, our team arrives approximately:

• 45–90 minutes before your scheduled start time

This allows us to set up, organize the kitchen, and begin cooking on-site so everything is served fresh and beautifully timed.

For drop-off style events, we typically arrive:

• about 15 minutes before service

to get everything positioned, labeled, and presentation-ready.

For most dinner parties, our team is typically in your home for:

• 3–4 hours total

This includes arrival, cooking, service, and cleanup.

Every event is unique, and timing may vary slightly depending on the style of experience.

Yes — we can arrange rentals upon request.

Items such as:

• plates & bowls

We’ll help make sure everything complements the style and tone of your event.

Tell us your vision — we’ll help bring the atmosphere together.

Yes — a 30% deposit is required to secure your booking.

The remaining balance is charged to the card on file prior to your event.

This ensures your date, team, and ingredients are fully dedicated to your experience.

Yes — our team cleans the kitchen before we depart so that you can relax and enjoy your guests.

On some occasions, we may leave behind:

• glassware

• bar items

for guests who are still enjoying beverages or conversation. These items can be rinsed and collected later as needed.

Our goal is for your evening to end as seamlessly as it begins.

We don’t just “deliver food” — we create personal, chef-driven dining experiences designed around your home, your table, and your guests.

Our clients choose Tastify because they value:

• thoughtful hospitality

• conversation-worthy menus

• elevated service in a relaxed setting

• connection and presence at the table

It feels like inviting a restaurant — and a hospitality team — into your home, without the limitations of a dining room or preset format.

Tastify is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and we serve Nashville and the surrounding counties throughout Middle Tennessee.

Events located beyond 30 miles from our shop may incur a mileage fee to account for additional travel time and staffing logistics. If you’re unsure whether your location qualifies, we’re happy to confirm during booking.

Yes — many of our clients book Tastify for Airbnb and vacation rental dinner parties, celebrations, and private chef experiences.

We simply ask that:

• the kitchen includes standard working appliances

• there is adequate counter space & cookware

• the host allows private chef services on-site

If anything is missing, we can bring select equipment or rental items as needed.

Yes — to support our hospitality team and ensure a smooth event experience, we apply:

• 20% automatic gratuity on all parties

• 5-12% service fee on the event subtotal (based on commissions paid)

This allows us to maintain a high level of service, staff training, and event execution — the same thoughtful hospitality our clients consistently return for.

Yes — for most chef-hosted live events and in-home dinner parties, we require a $1,000-$1300 event minimum.

This helps us staff appropriately, source premium ingredients, and deliver the elevated style of private dining Tastify is known for.

Drop-off and small-format services may have different minimums depending on the style of event.
