Free working tools

Write the ordinary things down before the interesting work begins.

A guest collaboration needs more than a date and two names. This free starter kit helps a restaurant and visiting professional make the project, responsibilities and first commercial terms visible before either side commits.

Guest Collaboration Starter Kit · Version 1.0

One brief for the conversation before the contract.

Use it together, edit the working file and take the completed terms to the people responsible for the final agreement in your location.

No email or account is required. Downloads do not create a paid engagement with ChefsLanding.

Inside

  • Collaboration brief
  • Responsibility table
  • Non-binding Heads of Terms
  • Pre-announcement checklist
  • Legal and operational red flags

Useful structure, not universal legal advice.

The kit helps the parties see missing decisions. It cannot decide the law of every country or replace a final agreement reviewed for the actual project.

  • Check employment, job-placement and work-permission rules where the work happens.
  • Let the host confirm venue, event, food-safety and insurance requirements locally.
  • Use qualified advice for tax, cross-border data, liability, ticketing or client-money questions.

Two ways to use it

The open network remains self-directed. China Desk is available only when a human search, approach or coordination service is useful.

Complete it directly

If both sides already know each other, use the kit to expose unanswered questions, then sign an agreement suited to the project and location.

Ask us to move the project forward

If the right person, decision path or working context is unclear, China Desk can define a separate paid scope after reviewing the request.
