Commission Adjustments for Partnerships
There's a commission split when you receive business through our partners, such as Airbnb Luxe or Rental Escapes. Take a Chef receives a reduced 10% commission, while the partner's share is typically 8%. For long-term partnerships, the partner's commission may increase to 20%.
This means that the overall service commission for partnerships can reach up to 30% of the service, while the chef earns 70% of the payment. But this is not a bad thing at all.
These partnerships provide networking and collaboration opportunities for chefs, leading to more consistent and lucrative work. Collaborating with prestigious brands enhances professional visibility and market status.
