Okay, so Raymond Skinner has a diverse background in restaurants, marketing, and hospitality. However, his experience is mostly in Australia, and he's currently located in Thailand. The rate will be lower due to the lower cost of living in Thailand. Considering his skills, I'll estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is lower than the average rate for a restaurant manager in the US, but higher than the average rate for a food service worker. This rate is also lower than the rate for a marketing professional, but Skinner's experience in both fields will be valuable. I'll use the following benchmarks: $50-$75 per hour for restaurant managers in Thailand, $75-$100 per hour for marketing professionals in Thailand, and $100-$150 per hour for culinary experts in the US. Skinner's rate will be around the lower end of these ranges, considering his experience and skills.
