From passion to decision
Before the space is beautiful, the business must be understood and manageable
The workshop focuses on decisions made before opening and long after it: what are we really selling, to whom, at what cost, and how do we know operations are moving in the right direction?
Profit you can understand—not activity you can merely see
Distinguish sales, traffic, margin, and cash—and read the effect of each decision.
Repeatable operations before considering expansion
Build clear routines for quality, inventory, team, and customer experience.
Who it is designed for
Different journeys, shared operating questions
Work on a sample case or your own business while keeping sensitive figures and data private.
Before launch
You have a café, restaurant, food-truck, or home-business idea and want to test it before committing to premises and fit-out.
Existing operation
You are already trading, but profitability, inventory, consistency, or customer experience is still unclear.
Investment decision
You are evaluating a partnership or franchise and need better questions before investing.
Expansion or second branch
You want to test operating and financial readiness before repeating the model at a new site.
F&B management
You work in management, operations, or marketing and want a broader view of the decisions connecting each function.
Fit note: The workshop focuses on business management, operations, and decision-making; it is not a barista or culinary-skills programme.

90-day priority map
Three actionable priorities for your business or concept after the workshop.

Practitioner experience becomes a decision you build
The balance is deliberate: enough explanation to understand the logic, enough practice to test it, and enough discussion without turning the day into a long lecture.
01Field insightA real operating situation or decision.
02Compact caseEnough data to understand the problem, not memorise an answer.
03Group decisionCompare alternatives and defend a choice.
04Apply to your businessTurn the idea into a personal tool or priority.

Frequently asked questions
Before you decide
Do I need prior F&B experience?
No. The tools begin with the fundamentals, while the exercises allow existing operators to apply them to more advanced challenges.
Is the workshop useful for an existing business?
Yes—especially if you have questions about margin, menu, inventory, customer experience, or readiness to expand. You can apply the worksheets without sharing confidential information with the group.
Does the workshop provide guaranteed figures or a ready feasibility study?
No. Figures vary by concept, location, and scale. You will learn to build and test better assumptions and recognise when specialist feasibility work is needed.
Does it cover every licensing procedure?
The workshop explains the sequence, requirements, and questions to verify, but does not replace checking with the relevant authorities; procedures can vary or change by activity and location.
Is this an AI workshop?
No. Its core is F&B business management. AI appears in one focused segment as support for content and feedback analysis, with human review and responsible data handling.
What should I bring?
A laptop or tablet is recommended. If you have a business or concept, bring a menu or non-confidential rough estimates to make the application more relevant.
What certificate will I receive?
A certificate of completion from Taim Academy for a Ministry of Labour-approved training programme, subject to attendance and completion requirements.
What if I need to cancel after paying?
You can cancel for a full refund up to 7 days before the workshop starts. Full refund terms are sent in your registration confirmation email.
