Budgeting

Often when you join an Estate or Yacht they will give you a crew/staff budget to work within. The clientele we work with can sometimes be very particular about this subject. It is best to always stay in budget at all times. An average budget for a Yacht or Estate can be anywhere from $10-$20 per crew member per day. Every job is different as there are estates where the staff isn't offered meals to Luxury Yachts feeding crew the same meals as guests. It is important to communicate with the Chief Stew/Estate Manager to find out if its your job to purchase snacks and such for the crew/staff and guests. In some instances you will be instructed to only purchase what you cook and serve to guests and crew and other instances you will be responsible for all snacks and beverages. Coming soon here are some basic budgeting and ordering breakdown sheets.
