How many pub business plans get approved on the first try?
Not as many as you’d hope ❌

After reviewing hundreds over the years, we kept seeing the same issues — vague figures, weak strategy, and little to no risk planning.

That’s what led our Director, Dave Burr, to create this guidebook.

Built from years of helping operators secure approvals, the book shares the tools and insights that actually work — and when it launched, it even reached #8 in Hospitality books 📚

Most pub owners check their sales daily. Few track the numbers that actually make them money...

Are your wages creeping past 30%?

Is your food GP lower than 65%?

Are supplier costs quietly rising?

Is your prime cost creeping toward 70%?

These small leaks add up fast—and before you know it, you’re running a pub that’s busy but barely profitable.

The difference? Knowing your numbers and acting on them.

If you’re not 100% sure where your profits are slipping, let’s change that.
