ONCE A MONTH ON A ROTATING

"ROSTER"SUMMARY

These are ticketed (pre-sold) prix fixe events

THIS IS NOT A PASSIVE GUEST-CHEF POSITION

• Looking for high-level culinary talent who are as skilled at self-promotion as they are with a knife!

MUST have an active social media following and ability to drive ticket salesMUST have track record of executing events with a minimum of 40+ ticket sales, ideally in the range of $175-225+Need to be prepared to serve a minimum of 70+

• guests (can do 2 separate sittings if that makes the most sense)
• Bonneville's marketing people estimate the ad campaign should generate at least 20-30 ticket sales the first time around and ~40+ the next time around once the ads have been airing for several weeks and the messaging is established
• Add that to the ~40+ tickets the Chef is expected to sell
• once a month
• and the total guest count should ultimately be in the 65-80 range (again, splitting into 2 sitting waves might be the most practical option...luckily, the venue holds upwards of 100 so you could serve 100 guests in 2 sittings without displacing anyone in the first group when the second group arrives (no need to 'turn tables over')Alternative For Chefs Who Don't Have A Large Following Locally
• The 2-Chef Night Option
• For Chefs who don't have the following or the regular clientele to produce the sales numbers mentioned above, please still reach out if interested. There are many amazingly talented Chefs who for a variety of reasons don't have an established local following
• in certain instances like these we would consider the following option:

On the same rotating monthly schedule, we may have one or even two nights (depending on the Chefs and how successfully everything goes) each rotation in which we 'pair' (separately) 2 Chefs to do 2 separate sittings

• one early (ideally a 4-course) and one laterThe venue and kitchen space support this option
• we've made it work before; it just requires strict adherence to the time-table we have established for both parties so that there is a smooth transition in terms of breakdown, line turnover and cleanupFor Chefs only able to draw 15-20 guests, the marketing efforts should bring ticket sales to at least 25-30.

If the 2 Chefs combine for a total of 55-60 guests the first time around, that's still a number that we can build off of each monthly rotation. For the right candidates, we welcome the opportunity to help you grow your brand and sharing the night with another Chef provides the perfect opportunity to do soThe Venue/Guest ExperienceVery upscale ("Michelin-caliber" / "Michelin-adjacent) venue with high ceilings and sprawling layout95 seat capacity allows for double sittings without displacing anyone and allowing the first group to remain and continue driving alcohol revenue (which is controlled by the restaurant but shared with the Chef); hypothetically upwards of 120 bookings could be feasible Professional grand piano and live pianist provided for each event

• music selection (jazz, classical, etc) is Chef's call
• you choose the soundtrack to your evening; whatever you think best suits the mood and complements your cuisine and the vibe you're looking to cultivateMarketing/Promotions
