The lot. The paperwork that gets you open, the numbers that tell you whether to, and the HR pack to staff it. It all talks to each other.
This kit exists because my venue never opened. Everything was ready, the licence, the fit-out, the staff, the launch. Opening night was Good Friday 2020, and the country locked down that week. The doors never opened.
So I took the entire body of work I'd built to get a real UK late-night venue licensed and ready, and turned it into something you can use for yours. It's the paperwork I wish someone had handed me on day one. No jargon, no consultant's day rate, just the actual documents, ready to make your own.
Plenty of people can get a licence. Far fewer work out, before they sign the lease, whether the place will actually turn a profit. This does both.
Operating Schedule, Four Objectives Navigator, Fire Safety module, all seven registers and every staff policy. Everything to get licensed and open.
Profit in every pour, a supplier Deal Checker to sanity-check the hard sell, and a profit-vs-popularity view of your whole menu.
How many through the door to cover any event, and your profit at every level of turnout.
Patrons in, staff needed and wage bill out, with proper multi-floor logic.
Takings minus stock, wages and overheads, projected over three years. The bottom line, before you commit.
Every one-off cost of opening, with contingency and a funding check so nothing blindsides you.
Six ready-to-edit job descriptions, three HR policies and a new-starter induction checklist. Hire and manage your team from day one.
Yes. It's written for any late-night licensed premises in England and Wales, nightclubs, bars, pubs, hotels, members' clubs. Anywhere the Licensing Act 2003 applies. You edit the details to fit your venue.
No, and it doesn't pretend to be. It's a set of professional-grade templates and plain-English guidance built from a real application. It gets you 90% of the way with confidence, then you check your own council's specific conditions before submitting.
Completely. The documents are editable Word files and the tools are editable spreadsheets. Change the wording, add your venue name, make it yours. It's yours to keep and reuse forever.
Because it's done once and shared. A licensing consultant can charge thousands to produce this kind of paperwork for a single venue. This is the same groundwork, ready for you to adapt, for the price of a decent night out.
