90-Day Chef Business Bootcamp

From burnt-out chaos to freedom, profit, and clarity.

25+ Years Experience • 6-Figure Private Chef Business • 100+ TV Appearances • 2 Cookbooks • Trusted by 50,000 Followers

My first few years as a private chef were a disaster. I was overwhelmed, burnt out, and honestly had no idea how to run a business. I wrote every menu, recipe, and list from scratch for every client. I was undercharging, overworking, and spending hours rewriting the same emails again and again.

Eventually, I hit a wall. I realized I couldn’t keep going the way I was, so I decided to learn everything I could about building a real business, not just cooking. Within a year, everything changed. I built systems that let me deliver an even better experience for my clients while working less and earning more.

I cut my administrative work in half. I limited myself to cooking only three days a week. And somehow, my income doubled. It sounded impossible before I did it, but it’s actually simple.

Cut the repetitive busywork. Charge what you’re worth. Focus on the services you actually enjoy, and attract clients who value what you do. That’s how I turned things around, and that’s what I’ll help you do too.

If your business isn’t where you want it to be, I can help you get it there. I’m so confident this program will work that I offer a full refund after two weeks, and if you’ve done the work but still don’t feel confident by the end of 90 days, I’ll keep coaching you for free until you do.

What you get in 90 Days

Weeks 1-4 

Start with total clarity! In Weeks 1–4, you’ll audit exactly where your chef business stands, identify what’s working (and what’s not), and map out a concrete 90-day vision. You’ll narrow your focus to your most profitable and energizing services, define your perfect client, and build your first core business systems, including a simple CRM and professional proposals, so you can stop guessing and start growing with confidence.

Weeks 5-8

Build your chef business “machine.” Weeks 5–8 are all about systems, so you can charge what you’re worth and deliver consistent results every time. You’ll get your pricing right, document step-by-step chef SOPs, standardize menu planning and costing, and smoothly onboard new clients. By the end of this phase, your business will run more profitably and with less stress, freeing you to focus on what you do best.

Weeks 9-12

Get known, win the right clients, and prepare to scale. In Weeks 9–12, you’ll package your offers for high-value clients, clarify your marketing and website messaging, and implement easy but powerful referral and email systems. You’ll finish the Bootcamp with a complete 90-day action plan for continued revenue growth, a supportive chef community, and every template and process you need to work less, earn more, and love your business for the long term.

What You Get

90 Days of Expert Coaching ($2,500 value)

Group coaching programs and mastermind access typically cost $150–$500 per month, with professional business coaching averaging $272 per hour. Over 12 weeks, with 1–2 hours of direct or group guidance and accountability per week, the value aligns with standard group program rates.

Guided Weekly Curriculum ($1,800 value)

Each week features a fully structured, outcomes-driven guide. If you hired even an entry-level business coach to design a personalized 90-minute curriculum each week ($100/hour × 1.5 hours × 12 weeks), you’re looking at $1,800 in real consulting time. Most specialist group programs charge even more, and this doesn’t account for proprietary content or proven methodologies.

Complete Asset Library ($600 value)

Includes all trackers, templates, checklists, and calculators—assets that would take 10–12 hours to create from scratch or purchase piecemeal. At even $50/hour admin or virtual assistant rates, this is a $500–$600 bundle.

13 Ready-to-Customize Client Email Templates ($500 value)

Professionally written copy for every stage of the client journey. Copywriters charge $40–$125/page for business emails, and a full set would cost $500+ if outsourced. These are targeted, chef-specific, and ready to use.

10 Detailed SOPs and Workflows ($800 value)

Professional consultants charge $80–$250 per SOP for operations and process docs. For 10 complete, chef-specific workflows, $800 is a direct parallel to hiring a business systems consultant.

Hands-On Assignments and Progress Tracking ($350 value)

Implementation checklists and milestone reviews—these would take 4–6 hours to develop or purchase ($50–$100/hour for curriculum design/admin support).

Proven Pricing and Packaging Systems ($400 value)

If you were to purchase custom pricing and offer templates, or pay for business coaching on this subject, you’d easily invest $400–$1,000. This is a focused, proven framework used by working chef professionals.

Access to All Materials (Google Sheets, DOCs, PDFs) ($200 value)

Ready-made editable files save hours of DIY or designer work (typically $40–$75/hour for formatting and template creation).

Community & Accountability ($500–$1,000 value)

Group masterminds and peer accountability circles for entrepreneurs often cost $500–$1,500/quarter, as they drive measurable business results.
