Is it just me or do cooks in metro cities come with their own set of “terms & conditions”? 😅
Mine:
-
Comes late regularly, but can’t wait 5 minutes if I’m stuck on a call
-
Cooks only what she feels like, and if you complain, you get a counter-complaint
-
Any feedback is met with: “This item wasn’t there, that item wasn’t there”
-
If it’s a new recipe outside her routine, quality drops mysteriously (maybe unintentionally, maybe strategically)
-
Charges a bomb
-
Expects festival bonus even when I don’t get one myself
-
And somehow, all drawbacks are explained as my fault
At this point, managing my cook feels like a full-time ops role.
Genuine question:
👉 How much is reasonable to pay a cook in a metro city these days, and what should that actually include?
Would love to hear real numbers + experiences.

Its demand supply economics. Cooks set the terms because there are enough jobs, that pay better.
I tried hiring a cook, he said if any guests come, he will charge extra "per roti". I knew my cooking started from that moment.

I mean you can cook your own or subscribe to meal plan like food darzi. Better to pay more and avoid this cook nuisance
