When you started your hospo business, what was your focus? The creative vision, or the business strategy?
Like many, you probably got into hospo for the creative side of things — the people, the food, and the romance of it all right? If so, you’re not alone. Many owners connect to the creative side of hospo. After all, those big dreams will get you of bed every morning faster than a spreadsheet ever will!
But as a business owner, it’s important to sharpen your business skills if you want your business to last. That’s where Crunch comes in! We’re here to simplify the business side of hospo so you can spend more time doing the stuff you love.
We have loads of incredible content in the app (grab your free 30-day trial here if you haven’t checked it out yet), nothing beats learning and connecting in person. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to Crunch Live — our in person masterclass sessions to elevate your business.
On Monday 7th October, we’re hosting two incredible masterclasses at Crunch Live, and trust us, you’ll want to be there! We’ll cover two big (and often overlooked) business topics you need to get right if you plan on running a sustainable hospo business: Strategy and Profit.
But this isn’t your typical bland business event. We’re bringing two of the brightest minds in hospo to break down these critical topics and serve up their must-know insights in a practical, straightforward, and definitely non-boring way.
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
Our first masterclass will help you find your “Strategic Edge” with Leon Kennedy, CEO of The Mulberry Group.
Leon is a strategy guru who’s been in the hospitality game for nearly two decades. He’s tackled every challenge under the sun while serving as the Global Head of Product & Operations for Proud Mary Coffee. He now sits in the top spot as CEO of The Mulberry Group who are behind well loved spots including Hazel, Dessous, Lilac Wine Bar, and Common Ground Project to name a few! Seriously, this guy knows his stuff!
In this masterclass, you’ll learn:
- What is strategy, and why it’s essential if you want to reach your goals.
- How to craft a business strategy that sets you up for success.
- The secrets of product/market fit and how missing the mark could be costing you big bucks.
- A tailor-made framework for designing and implementing a killer strategy.
Next up, you’ll learn “Profit Activation” secrets with Andrew Van De Beek, Founder & Head of Purpose at Illumin8.
Andrew is the accounting wizard shaking up the industry. He’s all about making numbers fun (yes, you read that right). With a fresh perspective on financial management, he’s here to change the way you think about profit.
In this masterclass, you’ll learn:
- The key elements in your business that influence your bottom line.
- How to align your business strategy with financial goals for maximum impact.
- The financial impact of your choices so you can make more confident decisions.
- A straightforward, templated formula to hit those profit targets like a boss!
But wait, there’s more!
Every attendee will also leave with these high-value bonuses to make taking action easy:
- A bonus Strategy Template from Leon to help you create and implement a winning strategy with ease!
- A bonus Numbers Workbook from Andrew to input your own numbers and identify key actions to activate your profit.
- Access to masterclass recordings within the Crunch App (because we know you’ll want to rewatch the magic).

Remember, it takes a village
If you want to win at business, it’s vital to have friends in the industry – those “insiders” by your side to offer proven insights for success. Because frankly, you don’t have time to figure it out alone.
If you don’t master the ins and outs of running a profitable business fast, your business might be one of the 93% that don’t make it past five years. We don’t want that fate for you!
Crunch masterclasses aren’t just about learning vital business skills, they’re about building an all-important community too. With loneliness and isolation being two of the biggest contributors to stress in the hospo industry, this is a great way to connect with like-minded business owners who really get what it’s like to run a hospo business.
Let’s sharpen your skills and connect you with a great community so you can grow a profitable business and get more time (and headspace) back to focus on the creative stuff you love.
