What Clients Say

Hi Pete

Great session today with an incredible tool.  This session and your tool probably pay for the course in value threefold.

I would just like to thank you for the thoughtful and insightful few weeks we’ve spent with you.  Your course content is very rich in information and insights and wanted you to know it was a very enriching experience.

We run a café and a play centre and would like to thank Peter from the bottom of our hearts. He truly knows what he is talking about on all aspects of running a hospitality business.

The software included in the price of the course is incredible, it manages absolutely everything from rosters, wages, purchases and all the KPI’s that are required to keep your finger on the pulse with your business.

The Café Startup Mentorship  is a 12 week course and it covered stuff that I don’t even think we would have had any idea about.   The units that really stood out for us were the one which included the ten minute manager tool and the different costing methods. In fact all of the tools that Peters provided us with have saved us a lot of time. We would recommend this course to any café owner who’s struggling or wanting to increase their profits, or anyone contemplating in opening a café.  It’s defiantly worth it.
