Context

A multi-site café group operating in high-traffic environments, where each site had drifted into its own version of the brand standard.

Growth depended on making the operating model portable rather than personality-driven.

  1. 01Implemented process improvements and operational controls consistently across all locations.
  2. 02Led and developed 30–50+ staff, building supervisory capability at site level.
  3. 03Oversaw staffing, scheduling and workforce planning to improve resource utilisation.
Results
  • Improved team performance and service delivery across multiple locations.
  • Strengthened operational consistency and customer experience in fast-paced, multi-site trading.
