Private dinner FAQ

The details that make hosting easier.

When will Yoyo arrive?

Usually 1–3 hours before the meal. Most preparation happens in a commercial kitchen; Yoyo finishes and plates at your home.

What about dishes and tableware?

Tableware, glassware, and linens are not included, but rental coordination can be added when needed.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Often, yes. Please share needs during the consultation. Because the kitchen is shared, cross-contamination cannot be completely guaranteed.

What is the cancellation policy?

It is covered in the service agreement once the menu and estimate are confirmed.
