Like, home cooked, not technically food safe, not a restaurant, friends hanging out. Participate and be here at your own risk?

Which is why my chef friends sat down and came up with these:
1) $ to just cover my cost a bit
2) Legal stuff, sure, get people to sign a waiver for those who aren't your friends? Also be careful with the photos they take can only be for personal use.
3) I immediately veto anyone whoever is impolite (or late) to my place. They simply do not get ever re-invited. No explanation needed.
4) Getting invited is a privilege not a right.
Had a guest who would come and critique me online afterwards; F-off. Guest who would insist on doggy bagging shit when the meal wasn't even 1/2 over.
Too many funny stories to list. Fine line between doing something for passion versus doing it as a job,

Thinking about money is ok? It's a good thing to learn for my own life skills?
Critiques might hurt since I'm not really a pro.
Impolite people... yeah, I think I've been (mostly) lucky so far.
1. $ clause, is that in terms of legal protections?
2. Waivers make a lot of sense.
But what's this about photos for personal use only?
Thus far, people have been posting to facebook and Instagram and it's only brought me positive attention?
3. Impolite, yeah. Late? That might not really be an issue for me. I don't think?
My plan is 1 point person who arranges the private dining experience.
They're the boss of their group and keeping them in line.
And in charge of making sure I get paid? So if we need to start without people, that wouldn't bother me.
Doggy bags are ok? I have a small appetite. If I was a guest, it would be nice to take things home to finish.
6793026,
Can you tell me more of what you and your friends do?
Open to the public?
