Innovative Learning Platform Aims to Revolutionize Hospitality Businesses
MANCHESTER, UK. March 7th, 2025 – A game-changing learning platform is set to shake up the hospitality industry as Profit First Hospitality officially launches at the
Northern Restaurant & Bar (NRB) Show on March 11 & 12.
Designed to help hospitality businesses take control of their finances and boost profitability, this innovative programme is the brainchild of leading industry experts Kieron Bailey (People on Purpose), Louise Kissack (Spaghetti Group & Liverpool Food Network), and Gareth Evans (Evans & Co Hospitality Accountants).
Profit First Hospitality is built on the globally acclaimed Profit First methodology, which flips traditional financial management on its head by prioritising profit from day one. Combining this principle with industry-specific tools and insights, the programme offers hospitality business owners a roadmap to sustainable financial success.
Bringing together a powerhouse of hospitality expertise, the programme is spearheaded by Gareth Evans, a former chef turned financial strategist who understands the daily struggles of hospitality business owners and is dedicated to helping them achieve financial clarity and success. Gareth will be joined by Kieron Bailey, a seasoned business coach and brand culture specialist who has worked with global brands like Hard Rock Café and Wagamama to drive business growth and people development, and Louise Kissack, a strategic leader with nearly two decades of experience at McDonald’s and Costa Coffee and an expert in brand expansion and strategy.
Even more remarkably, this programme can make any hospitality business profitable in just one week. “This isn’t just another finance course,” said Gareth Evans, founder of Profit First Hospitality.
“My accountancy practice Evans & Co Hospitality Accountants has already helped over sixty independent businesses – from Ma Pubs Group to Cardinal Rule – streamline their financial admin, optimise operations and achieve sustainable growth. Now we’re making these powerful strategies accessible to the wider hospitality industry.”
Participants in the programme will gain access to essential Profit First strategies tailored to the hospitality sector, insights on marketing, menu engineering, and brand culture to enhance revenue, as well as exclusive virtual clinics and drop-in sessions with the Profit First Hospitality team. They will also benefit from proven tools and techniques to cut financial admin and maximize profits.
The team will officially launch and showcase the
Profit First Hospitality programme at Stand 43 at NRB 2025 in Manchester. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the platform, meet the team, and discover how to take their business finances to the next level.
Louise Kissack said: “If paying yourself more is always at the bottom of your to-do list, we’ll help you fix that. With over 70 years of combined hospitality experience, we truly understand the unique challenges of this industry, and why now more than ever before businesses need to make profitability their priority.”
