- Creative Innovator: Inject some flair into your pub's offerings! From themed nights to unique promotions, a great pub manager thinks outside the beer barrel and keeps things exciting.
Key Skills and knowledge: Your passport to becoming a great pub general manager
- Leadership Mastery: Hone your leadership skills. Inspire your team to bring their A-game, fostering a positive work environment where everyone thrives.
- Financial Wizardry: Dive into the financials. Understand profit margins, cost control, and the art of balancing quality service with a healthy bottom line.
- Customer Relationship Finesse: Sharpen your ability to read the room. Anticipate customer needs and tailor the pub experience to create a loyal fan base.
- Regulatory Know-How: Navigate the regulatory landscape like a pro. Stay on top of licensing laws, health and safety regulations, and compliance matters to keep the pub ship sailing smoothly.
