Brief

Cult has been approached by numerous clients to ensure their bars are run smoothly, stylishly and with the panache you'd expect in any high end establishment.

We've worked with a number of venues, restaurants, pop ups and brands to fine tune their systems and ensure best results in terms of increased revenue, improved NPS scores (Net Promoter Score), implementation of best technology and return customers.

“Pop ups to full scale venue bar operations, drinks run through our veins and watching a darling seed come to fruition is the dream!” Hugo Jones Creative Director

Consultancy

- Diplomatic discussions with key stake holders as well as management team to act as a go between to ensure best results. - Looking into finances to understand the core route of the problem.

These systems presented weekly rota forecasts, cost of sales, staffing costs as well day to day sales ensuring all cash and card sales were in line with revenue forecasts. Through implementation and training we managed to reduce labour costs by 14% and decrease COS by 5%.

Financial Auditing
