Dineindulge Employee Review
Not as much freedom for chefs as advertised
Chef (Current Employee) - South West - 19 March 2023
I have worked with dineindulge for about 2 years. The menus are difficult to deliver to the specification presented in their marketing (No chef can accomplish over 10 moves per plate alone for large groups of people without food going cold). The pay is slightly better than restaurant work, £15-18 p/h after expenses. The work could be a lot more personal if you could do your own menus and communicate with customers before the event. I also suspect dineindulge block you from rebooking customers without the agency.

The work can be fun but it’s not worth it
When you’re at an event, it can be a total pleasure to cook for somebody in their home. I completed just a few events through this company, during this time I realised just how disorganised a professional company can be. 100% of the time there was a fault with the event details and when I would inquire about it, they would amend it but not promptly and so I would be left feeling anxious about the event that I had to work. They also flood your emails every day and you’re supposed to check in three times before an event which gives me a headache. The hourly rate does not reflect the amount of work that you have to put into certain events. I also work for a similar company and have had no such issues so I would suggest steering away from dineindulge because you can do better.
Pros
Management are friendly
Cons
Pay doesn’t reflect workload
