At Hospitality Advisory Australia we appreciate the challenges involved in running a successful hospitaliy business. Managing cashflow, keeping suppliers and customers happy, meeting state & federal requirements, workforce issues, product development, training & development, and exit/growth planning - the list goes on and the demands and decisions are continuous and stressful.
Add the recent cost, wages, inflation and interest rate pressures to an already stressed economy and the challenge is multiplied many times over. Indeed many businesses will become financially distressed over this time and may be forced to consider options, while others may be required to pivot in order to survive in a new economic reality.
At Hospitality Advisory Australia we provide solutions to help your business not only survive post pandemic, but to thrive.
We will help in establishing and refining your vision for the future and creating a strategy for how to achieve it. An effective strategy will include the where you want to be in the future (mission, vision, values), the what you want to achieve (goals, objectives) and the how you are going to get there (strategic plans, outcomes and actions), and should always include a mechanism for measuring progress along the way. Don't delay, take control of your business future!

Every crisis calls for major pivots that successful hospitality business owners must make to survive and thrive.
In this book, I’ll let you in on some of the industry’s key strategies to making this happen. I’ll summarise decades of my own experience in hospitality to share with you the most valuable lessons I’ve learned.
In addition, you’ll read stories of hospitality leaders who pivoted to survive and thrive. You can use their examples for inspiration and guidance to lead your hospitality business in the right direction. By the time you finish this book, you’ll know exactly what it takes to pivot through a crisis successfully.
“COVID-19 has meant that hospitality will never ever be the same. It has forced industry champions to reframe their thinking, tweak at the edges or make wholesale pivots. This book distils a lifetime of learning, couched in contagious enthusiasm. It will be the go to bible for navigating the choppy sea ahead. Wes is a leader with integrity and commercial sensitivity. In a short period of time he has left footsteps in my life and earned my trust. I am proud to call him a friend and even prouder of his ability to turn around this book. Do yourself a favour and read it immediately.”
