# Difference between a Single and Multiple request
## Discover the difference between single and multiple service options when booking a private chef.
Unsure about the difference between a '*single service*' and a '*multiple service*' when booking a private chef? Let's break it down.
### **Single service**
A single service is for a one-time event, perfect for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or gatherings with friends. Our chefs will create a tailored menu based on your preferences and provide a price per person.
### **Multiple Service**
Multiple services are for multiple meals in one or more dates, ideal for short vacations, family reunions, or if you simply want to enjoy the convenience of a private chef multiple times.
Our specialty is short-term services, with a maximum of 30 days. While the chef's fee is included in the proposal, ingredient costs are separate. You'll work with your chef to design menus and reimburse them for the ingredients during the service.
