Chocolatier consultant

Hi Chocolatiers,

I'm trying to get an idea as to how much it would typically  cost for a professional chocolatier to develop a chocolate recipe based on certain specified ingredients.  What would be the average hourly rate charged? 

 

Also, I'm looking for a chocolatier consultant in the SAn Francisco Bay Area if anyone is interested, feel free to message me.  Thanks.

Don't know if most people charge by hourly rate - I've always charged per recipe. I suppose the cost may vary depending on the difficulty of incorporating the specified ingredients. 

 

What are you hoping your consultant will do for you?

What the market will bear I'd say. Probably somewhere between $500 and $1000 depending on whether available water testing is included in the recipe development.

We do quite a bit of contract manufacturing. I have found a charge of $750 + tax seems to be sufficient to cover our recipe development time, and the clients we have are happy with the price.
