WHO YOU'RE WORKING WITH

EXPERIENCE ON BOTH SIDES

Most tech advisors have never worked a Saturday night. Ours have. One spent two decades running hospitality operations. One has spent his career inside the systems. One ran the floor at some of the UK's biggest operators. Together they translate between hospitality and tech, which is the whole job.

CHRIS FLETCHERHospitality

CHRIS FLETCHER

FOUNDER · 20+ YRS OPERATIONS

Twenty years on hospitality floors: Hard Rock, Carluccio's, Pieminister and more. Chris knows what a Saturday night at 22:48 actually feels like, and why the till the team likes beats the one that demos well.

CHRIS CARTMELLTechnology

CHRIS CARTMELL

TECHNOLOGY LEAD · STACKS & INTEGRATIONS

The systems half of the partnership. Chris maps how your tools actually talk, POS, payments, inventory, reporting, finds where integrations break, and knows which vendors deliver on their roadmap versus which just sell one.

WHAT WE DO

Six ways we help.

Pick one or string them together. Most operators start with a stack review and let it lead.

📋

Tech Audits

A full read of your current stack. What is working, what is end of life, what you are paying for twice. Scored red, amber, green.

🔄

Integration Mapping

How your tools actually talk, from POS to payments to inventory to reporting. We draw the data flow and flag where it breaks.

🤝

Vendor Negotiations

We sit on your side of the table. Better rates, fairer terms, buyout options. We know what these contracts should really cost.

AI Workshops

Where AI genuinely earns its place in your operation, and where it is just a chatbot bolted onto a menu. Honest, hands-on sessions.

🚀

Onboarding & Rollout

The change management most projects skip. Pilot first, train managers, clear rollback criteria. Never a big-bang go-live.

☑️

Vendor Selection

Shortlists built on what you run and what you actually need. Best for and not ideal for on every option, so the decision stays yours.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

The reports we produce.

Not a slide deck that gathers dust. A working document your whole team can act on, written the way an operator talks, with the technical detail underneath when you want it.

🚥

RAG stack status

Every system scored red, amber or green: replace, review, or keep. You see the whole estate's health at a glance.

↔️

Two-path frameworks

The big decisions framed as a clear A vs B, conservative vs ambitious, side by side. You decide on the merits, not the fear of change.

📟

Data-flow & integration maps

A visual of how your tools connect today and where the pain sits, so the knock-on effects of any change are obvious before you commit.

📅

Prioritised roadmap

What to move now, what can wait, sequenced around your trading calendar. Clear owners and a monthly review cadence.
