Brief the station
List the exact support tasks, equipment and workspace. The chef should identify what the helpers can do and which decisions need to go back to the kitchen lead.

Kitchen help for chefs in St. Louis
A busy service can need extra hands at the pass, around plating stations and between the kitchen and dining room. Our role is to support your chef or caterer with the agreed tasks, keeping the handoff to the floor organized. The person responsible for the menu continues to direct food production.
Practical support under your chef's direction
Coordinate the pass
Tell us when food will be ready, how it is plated and who carries it to guests. If you also need servers, connect the kitchen and floor plans in the same request.
Reset during and after service
Describe dish handling, station clearing and the finishing list. Share the venue's waste and washing arrangements so the support role fits the facilities available.
Work to discuss in your request
- Pass and plating support beside your chef or caterer
- Dish and station help so the line keeps moving
- Floor handoff when booked with servers
- The chef stays the chef — we do not cook the menu
We provide support staff, not a replacement chef or a separate catering service. Menu creation, cooking decisions and specialist food requirements remain with the designated food provider.
What to include for a useful quote
- Chef or caterer contact
- Task list and service schedule
- Workspace, equipment and dish arrangements
- Number of dining rooms or serving stations

Questions about kitchen help for chefs
Can you cook our menu?
This service is for support beside your chef or caterer. Send your needs for review; do not assume independent cooking is included.
Can the same booking include floor servers?
Yes, request both roles and explain the timing. The quote will separate the work that needs to happen in the kitchen and on the floor.
