/ 02 — process
Four phases. Six weeks to systems-built, or you keep us on to run it. Every step has a deliverable, a number, and a date.
Week 1
We sit down with the operator. Margins, room capacity, neighborhood DNA, the nights that already work, the ones that don't. No deck, no pitch. Listening first.
Week 2
A measurable promotional plan tied to revenue, not impressions. Talent calendar, content calendar, door target by night, P&L impact model.
Weeks 3–6
Brand system, social systems, paid systems, talent outreach. Built once, designed to run. Your team operates it after we leave or we keep running it — your call.
Ongoing
Doors open. We track every dollar that walks in: cover, bar spend, repeat rate. Adjust weekly against the plan. Reporting is one page, no fluff.
Established
Built from twenty-two-plus years of operator and brand-side experience.
Years · Art Director
Industry-veteran AD leading every creative engagement personally.
Years · Management
MBA-class operators on the team. Business-building, not just promo.
