Hiring Private Chef for my STR

[Nathan Wierzgac]

Thinking of ways to make my Airbnb stand out a little more and I’m tossing around the idea of hiring a private chef for one night. Not sure how to go about it - should I bake that price into the nightly rate of the rental and offer it as a complimentary amenity for one night or make it an offer to guests after booking and charge them the cost of it? Or not do it at all?

Any and all advice or thoughts are welcome, thank you!

I like to put ribs or chicken on my pellet grill for personal consumption.  It doesn't take me any more time to cook more ribs or chicken for tenants.  So when I put something on the pellet smoker for me, I put enough to cover the entire cooking grate and give the rest to tenants.  I mainly give them to a group of pipe inspectors.  They've been renting 2 STRs from me for 12 months.  They've already paid for the purchase price of both houses.
