Download the Sponsorship Packet (PDF)

Free. Ready to send to your GM, owner or controller.

Regional pricing available. In some countries, the Kit, the System and Self-Study are discounted automatically at checkout to match local buying power. Sponsored and Guided are one price everywhere.
Guided: Sponsored, plus me.
Your chef or GM runs the 12 sessions on their schedule. I'm in the candidate's corner for the whole six months. Three calls with me: a Development Plan at the start, a Progress Check at the midpoint, and a Capstone and Next-Role Plan at the end. Written notes after the Progress Check and the Capstone, shared with the sponsor. Between calls, direct access to me by email on the work and on where your career goes next. No sponsor yet? Start with Self-Study. If you pay up front, your $549 counts toward Guided within 30 days. Guided seats are limited. No on-property visits.
Sessions with Chef Lockard scheduled in Eastern Time.
Program delivered in English. Built on US dollars; the method works in any currency.
Upgrade credit: if you bought the Plate Cost & Menu Engineering Kit, The Food Cost Formula System or Self-Study (paid in full), what you paid counts toward a higher product for 30 days. Your code arrives by email right after purchase. Monthly plan payments don't count toward credit.
Advisory is inquiry-only: custom assessments, annual advisor roles, and related business projects. It does not include Kitchen Leadership Program curriculum, capstone, tools kits, or the Guided Development Plan, Progress Check, and Capstone and Next-Role Plan calls unless scoped in a separate agreement.
