LoadedLabs legend Soph shows us a watertight process for tackling costly stock issues that are almost certainly eroding your margins. Why? Because so many businesses joining Loaded end up saving between $500-$1000 per week just on their top 10 selling food and beverage items. This is important, impactful stuff.

Restaurant owner and chef Cam Davies (who won the Global Chef Pacific Rim semifinal this year) takes us through a proven end-to-end recipe creation process for curating a summer menu that delights customers while maximising profit.

Being busy is great, but it means nothing if you don’t know how to make sure that extra foot traffic is profitable. In this LoadedLabs live session, we show you: • The most crucial financial metrics to track during high-demand seasons, and how to make sure being busy actually results in increasing profitability. • How to track, analyse, and improve what you’re doing right now for better performance and profitability.

Legendary designer and hospitality specialist Gerrick Numan from Mille joins us to discuss the secrets to great interior design and fit-out that customers love. You'll get great value from this session, whether you've got a major new venue planned, or looking for inspiration on minor interior tweaks and updates you can make.

Richard Mcleod - Loaded's CEO - shares his story on building a 12 site hospitality group, and the exact steps he took to move from constantly being in firefighting mode to operations running seamlessly. In the session he will share how they used outside help for accountability and support, the key checklists they used at every venue, the key numbers they relentlessly focused on, and how they rapidly moved to improving their stock purchasing.

The busy season is NOT the time of year to be paying more for your stock than you need to. In this LoadedLabs session, Rich will equip you with everything you need to secure the best stock prices. As always, this won't be a theoretical conversation - Rich will be taking you through the exact system and process he used in his own hospitality business to increase margins by 3%.
