The shape of the role
Many Miami homes are staffed all year. A chef who also travels to a second residence or cooks aboard is agreed as part of one role, with the travel written into the offer.
A live-in role adds housing to the salary. The food budget is held by the home and never comes out of the chef’s pay.
