Pushing your team harder won’t fix your numbers. Giving them clarity will.

When managers understand sales, wages, COGS and weekly targets, they stop guessing and start making calls that protect profit.

That’s what profitability coaching is for.

Spreadsheets don’t call in sick on a Saturday night.

Alistair is a chartered accountant who also owns two venues. He’s dealt with the no-shows, the wage blowouts and the quiet weeks himself.

So the advice isn’t theory. It’s what actually works.

Sales look good, but where did the profit go? 🤔

Most of the time, it’s wages that aren’t moving in line with trade.

Here’s how to keep them on track every week:

📌 Set a wage % target based on forecast sales
📌 Check sales against wages every day, not just at month end
📌 Roster to expected demand and adjust early when trade changes
📌 Keep the right people on at the right times, not too many and not too few

When wages follow sales, your profit stops being a surprise.

Most venues aren’t short on reports. They’re short on time to act on them.

That’s where Alistair comes in. He takes the numbers out of the spreadsheet and into the venue, where the team can actually use them.

On site visits like this, the focus is:

- seeing how the floor runs on a real shift
- picking the 2–3 things that will move the numbers this week
- setting managers up to plan ahead, not just put out fires

Small changes, made every week, add up to real profit.

A big thank you to Charmane and everyone at The Sporties in Kerang for another great catch-up 🙌

Our work with the Kerang Sports & Entertainment Venue started with the numbers: tightening up margins and making sure the venue is on solid financial footing. Along the way, we've also been helping with their marketing, including keeping the website up to date, building a stronger social media presence and getting behind their promotions.
A venue like The Sporties is at the heart of its community, and we're proud to play a small part in helping it thrive. When a local venue does well, the whole town feels it.

Here's to more good nights at The Sporties!

Great to spend the day with the team at the American Hotel Echuca 🍻

Since we started working together, it's been rewarding to see their margins improve and the venue move into a stronger position. The credit goes to the team on the ground, who put in the work every day. Our part is simply helping them see the numbers clearly so they can make confident decisions.

That's what we're here for: helping hospitality businesses keep more of what they earn and build a venue that's set up for the long run.

If you want higher profits, start with the basics that actually move the result - not hype.

1. Know your costs. Track COGS, wages, and overhead weekly, not just at month end.

2. Price smarter. Your menu pricing should reflect your real food cost + labour + overhead, not just what others charge.

3. Cut waste. Over-prep, inconsistent portioning, and ordering without par levels are where most shrink comes from.

A packed venue can still feel tight on cash. Sound familiar?

That's because sales and cash flow aren't the same thing - and that gap is where a lot of venues get caught out.

We help you plan ahead, track the right numbers, and stay on top of what's coming in vs. going out, before it turns into stress.
