Restaurant Coaching Solutions™ Payment & Expense Guidelines
Every Product and Service I offer for Coaching or Consulting of you or your business is listed and described on my website along with the cost of each one. You'll also notice that I charge flat fees for each package or project and that there are NEVER any hourly fees or added fees or hidden fees.
Why ? I'll give you my top ten reasons why you should never pay anything but a flat fee...from anyone!
There is a cap on your investment. You know exactly what is to be spent and there are no surprises.
There is never a “meter running.” You do not have to worry each time my help is requested that I might be there for an hour, a day, or a week.
It is unfair to you to place you in the position of making an investment decision every time you may need my help. Otherwise, you’re trying to determine the impossible: Is this an issue that justifies a $2,000 visit or a $500 phone call. No client should ever be in that position.
Your people should feel free to use my assistance and to ask for my help without feeling they have to go to someone for budgetary approval. This only makes them more resistant to sharing their views, and at worst, delays the flow of important information.
If I find additional work that was unanticipated but must be performed, I can do it without having to come to you for additional funds. In those instances, legitimate, additional work would otherwise be viewed as self-aggrandizing and an attempt to generate addition billable hours, days or activities.
If you find additional, related work that must be done, you can freely request it without worry about increased project costs.
The overall, set fee, in relation to the project outcomes to be delivered, is inevitably less of a proportional investment than hourly billing.
If conditions change in your business, you won’t be in the difficult situation of having to request that the project be completed in less time. The quality approach is assured, since the fee is set and paid.
If I decide that additional resources are necessary, there is no cost to you and I can employ additional help as I see fit.
This is the most uncomplicated way to work together. There will never be a debate about what is billable time (e.g., report writing, taking phone calls, etc...) or what should be done on site or off site.
All fees are required in advance to begin your program or to claim a place on the waiting list if applicable. (First come first served basis).
Fees may be paid in installments, but your program does not begin until payment(s) have been completed. Contact me to discuss options and a payment schedule. No extra interest charges or fees are associated with any payment schedule(s).
We will accept payments through PayPal or Google with these credit cards,
. Cashier's check's, money orders and company and personal checks or bank transfers are acceptable also.
Company, personal or cashier's checks must clear our bank prior to your program's start and are subject to any and all "return check fees" for any reason. If a PayPal/Google link does not exist on the package page you need, I will email an invoice to you which will allow you to input your information and apply payment there. Please note that checks and even money orders can take up to 10 business days to process.

All fees are non-refundable, no exceptions! However, you may call a "freeze" at any point, at which time we stop the calendar until you're ready to begin again. I'm notoriously lax about the time constraints of most programs and readily provide grace periods to take care of any loose ends.
Pay in full, upfront and receive a discount! For enrollment into any RCS Coaching program for two intervals at a time or more (except The Basic Coaching Package) there is a 10% discount; for three at a time, a 15% discount. Pay for a full year in advance and get a 20% discount.
Call me for your unique discount codes prior to purchasing.Travel & Accommodation Expenses
Travel and accommodation costs, which are associated with all on-site Coaching or consulting programs, are all based on the most economical air, hotel and car rental fares available at the time of booking and are billed at the end of each travel timeframe unless different means are agreed to prior to the start of the project. I endeavor to keep your costs as low as possible throughout the entire process.
All flights are booked using coach seating.
All car rentals are booked using economy car availability.
All hotel rooms are booked using the lowest demand pricing schedule available and all discounts available are utilized.
If travel and accommodations are booked and are non-refundable and you decide to cancel or change the times of your participation, you will still be billed the costs associated with the travel & accommodation booked.
All domestic travel & accommodation costs can be paid for in advance at a flat fee of $1500.00 per week of travel - 7 full days- provided the travel is booked no less than two weeks out. If time is of the essence for the project, and arrangements need to be made sooner than two weeks out, the rate will be whatever the lowest fares and fees allow at the time of booking. This usually saves you money since most costs exceed this amount.
All non-domestic (anywhere outside the continental United States) travel & accommodation costs can not be paid for in advance at a flat fee rate. I will arrange for the most economical fares and fees possible given the time frame of the engagement and can be prepaid at a more economical rate than if they are paid after the travel occurs or less than the optimum two-week out rates.
Obviously you - the client - can arrange for any or all accommodations if you so choose. Most clients who have a relationships with hotels, car rental agencies and/or airlines do so in order to leverage lower fares and fees.
Any upgrades to any fares or accommodations are at the sole discretion, and responsibility of Restaurant Coaching Solutions™.
Travel and accommodation plans and schedules may be changed at any time but will always be communicated to the client as soon as any exigency arises that would necessitate such a change. All costs or expenses incurred for any changes made by RCS™ to any itinerary will be the responsibility of RCS™.
