How to Get Your Time Back

Do you spend all your time putting out fires and handling staff drama, with no time for marketing, team development, or looking closely at your figures? We’ll show how to ‘clear the decks’ of low-value tasks, claim back the time you need to be a real business owner… and see more of your family and friends.

Effective Marketing in a Tough Market

Discover how 'always on' marketing works and how to set this up with 24/7 messaging. Plus, we'll look at the importance of reward psychology and start a networking action plan to build community ties and sales. It's also essential to differentiate yourself from competitors, understand the finer points of communicating with customers, and use the 'surprise and delight' factor to boost visitor numbers.

The Bullet Proof Roster

For most hospitality business owners, wages are the biggest single cost and a huge source of stress. We’ll show you how to turn this around and take back control. Start by looking at operational efficiency, identifying your ideal opening and work hours, rostering without emotion, and communicating the new arrangements to your team. This could be the most important session in the whole workshop!
