Frequently asked questions

Do helpers in Sector 56 need society gate passes?
It depends on where you live. The HUDA plots and Sushant Lok Phase 2 blocks are independent houses and builder floors where entry is arranged with the household, while the gated apartment complexes on Golf Course Road and the Golf Course Extension Road register helpers and issue passes.
Do timings differ between flats and houses in the same area?
They can. Societies may set entry windows for helpers, whereas independent houses can agree any slot directly. If you live in a society, check its helper rules before fixing a slot; if you live in a house, you have more freedom to choose early or late timings.
What leave arrangements are common for cooks?
Cooks usually take a weekly off or an agreed number of leaves per month, with festival days discussed in advance. Since meals are time-sensitive, many households agree that the cook informs them ahead of any planned leave. It is worth deciding early how you will manage meals on the cook's off days.
What does a home cook do?
A home cook prepares breakfast, lunch and/or dinner as agreed, veg or non-veg according to your household's preference. The role includes kitchen prep such as chopping, kneading and marination, and cleaning up the kitchen after cooking. Tiffin or dabba preparation can be included if you agree it in advance.
