The starting cost for a chef on site is $550.00 per day. Each camp is unique based on location, food needs, etc and costs can increase outside of the day rate. Here are some other costs to consider:
- The exact type of menu that we’re providing you (ingredients vary in cost)

- Parking fees
- Baggage claim fees
- Destination hotel
- Transportation to your camp
- Working wage for days spent travelling
First Aid
Our medics are WCB certified to a minimum of Occupational first aid level 3 and have current certifications for the duration of your project.
We work closely with your project manager to build a robust and effective ERP before the start of the season, so in an emergency, the plan runs as flawlessly as possible.
As needed or requested, we will contribute to weekly safety meetings by making suggestions and running simulations or refreshers of Heli evac, CPR, illness symptom recognition, etcetera.
The necessary forms will be filled out and filed in a way that protects you in the event of a claim.
Certifications
Our staff all have necessary federal, provincial, and company certifications completed, such as:
- Food Safe
- First-aid
- CPR C and …
- Driver’s Licenses
- WHMIS
Necessary COVID procedures are also always in place.
Suppliers
It’s great if you already have suppliers you wish to work with. If they’re organized and efficient, even better! If they’re not, we can help organize them.
Personal relationships in any community are crucial to the health of a remote camp. We never forget this and always ensure to keep these commercial relationships strong.
Waste Management
Our professional kitchen managers save you money by minimizing food waste (packable or burnable), and ensuring that recycling & garbage is separated as required by the camp maintenance program.
We ensure easy management of these resources, which reduces employees’ handling times and saves their company valuable time!
Here Are Some Menu Examples
While every menu is different for each remote camp, we still want to give you an idea of what we’ve offered in the past.
