Management

...of stock, budget, financial control, health & safety, staffing, event planning and reporting.

Marketing

RESULT

Within a two week period we set up a fully functional bar & restaurant ready to serve the launch of House of Vans to 2,200+ hungry and thirsty mouths.

Since that successful launch in August 2014, we’ve been happily providing sustenance & treats to visitors via our cafe/ diner inspired by the American, and specifically New York café/diner scene; with influences from the ever changing street food from both sides of the Atlantic.

Through our two event bars we've made all sorts of parties and events happen from exhibitions to premieres to charity fundraisers with around 15-20 full capacity gigs per year (850 capacity venue).

Within this time we have managed to generate a monthly revenue increase of 600%. Being the only profit-making operation at House of Vans, which exists as a community-driven brand activation, we give back 15% of our operating profit to the community projects.
