The subject-specific need
Example dishes, household size and meal counts are clearer than a broad request for varied cooking. Add serving times and responsibility for ingredients, then discuss the skills required.
A priority card
Divide a sheet into essential today, optional if time remains and deferred. Define an observable outcome for each essential duty, then review whether the agreed time can accommodate it.
Working checklist
- Choose example preferred dishes
- Specify meal counts and household size
- Define ingredient shopping and menu review responsibilities
Applying the checklist
Instead of asking for everything, place the first duty below in the essential column and identify what can move to the next visit. Review the order with the person carrying out the work.
Which outcome do we specifically need today?
Write an answer specific to your home, then add the duty, its location and review time. Use this table during discussion; it does not replace an offer or contract.
| Duty | Location | Review time |
|---|---|---|
| Choose example preferred dishes | ||
| Specify meal counts and household size | ||
| Define ingredient shopping and menu review responsibilities |
Boundaries to confirm
Diets, allergies and specialised needs must not be left to guesswork; request confirmation of suitable ability.
