Process

How an engagement works

A simple, transparent process, whether you’re opening your first venue or turning around your fifth.

  1. 1

    Initial consultation & assessment

    A conversation about where the venue is and where you want it to go, followed by a site visit and a look at the numbers.

  2. 2

    Custom proposal & scope

    A written proposal with clear goals, deliverables, timeline and fees, so everyone knows what success looks like.

  3. 3

    Implementation & on-site support

    Hands-on work with you and your team: on the floor, behind the bar and in the office, not just in a report.

  4. 4

    Follow-up & performance review

    Checking results against the goals we set, refining what needs it and making sure the changes hold.

Principles

What you can expect

Real service first

We watch the venue run before we recommend changes. The problems that matter show up on the floor.

Clear scope, clear fees

You get goals, deliverables, timeline and cost in writing before any work starts.

Built with your team

Plans are made with the people who will run them, so they stick after we leave.

Measured results

Each engagement has a small set of measures agreed up front, reviewed at the end.

Step one is a conversation.

Opening something new, fixing what isn’t working or planning what’s next: it starts with a conversation.
