Four Ways to Partner

The right structure depends on the relationship, expected referral value and any employer or organizational restrictions.

Standard

Standard Referral Partner

Clients, friends, trainers, coaches and general professional contacts.

Referred client

10% off up to $150

Partner reward: Qualifying paid referrals 1–4 in each five-referral cycle create a 10% next-order credit for the referring partner. Referral 5 creates a 10% commission, up to $150.

Standard Partner rewards are earned only after completed paid service; inquiries, proposals, deposits, voids, refunds, and chargebacks do not count.

Referral Process

How It Works

01

Apply or receive an invitation

Chef Charles Bell LLC confirms the appropriate partner tier and referral structure.

02

Receive a referral code or tracked link

Share it with qualified new clients before or during their initial inquiry.

03

Client books and completes service

Referral compensation is not earned on inquiries, proposals or deposits alone.

04

Final balance is paid

Eligible cash commission or service credit becomes available for processing after completed paid service.

Commission Basis

Qualifying Net Service Revenue

Included

Chef Charles Bell LLC service fees and eligible quoted food or menu revenue retained by the business.

Excluded

Sales tax, gratuities, delivery charges, grocery reimbursements, airfare, lodging, rental cars, travel reimbursements, equipment rentals, outside staffing, venue fees, alcohol, third-party vendor charges, pass-through expenses, refunds and chargebacks.
