If you run a culinary business, you know how easy it is to get caught up in daily operations instead of focusing on growth, strategy, or scaling your team. That’s where SHARPEN 2026 comes in.
What SHARPEN Is
This isn’t just another workshop. SHARPEN is a two-day, results-driven experience for established culinary business owners ready to take their business to the next level.
