We run it with you

Management

A good venue can have a good product and still lose the week to the rota, the stock and the calls nobody has time to make. We hold that layer.

What we hold

The work that happens before the doors open.

People

  • Rota built and published
  • Weekend and holiday cover
  • Shift briefing before service
  • Recruitment and onboarding
  • Service standards, held and reviewed

Product

  • Stock counts and par levels
  • Ordering, on time, to budget
  • Supplier relationships and pricing
  • Menu and list kept current
  • Waste counted and logged every week

Numbers

  • Bar and F&B P&L review
  • Gross margin per line
  • Labour against revenue
  • Monthly report you can act on
  • The decisions that follow it

Three ways in

One project, the floor, or the whole operation.

01

The Handover

One project · Defined finish
  • An opening, a launch, a festival or a residency, managed end to end
  • Suppliers, build, kit, staffing and timeline held by Dahka
  • Systems written down as we go: rota template, order sheets, service standards
  • Handed back running, with your team trained on what we built
  • A defined start and a defined finish, agreed before we begin
02

The Floor

Staffing and standards · Month to month
  • Dahka supplies, schedules and manages the people
  • Rota, cover, briefing and the day-to-day calls that keep a floor working
  • Service standards set, then checked in person on the floor
  • One point of contact for every staffing question
  • Training folded in as gaps appear, at Craft Session level
03

The Full Operation

Bar and F&B · Ongoing retainer
  • The whole operating layer: people, product and numbers
  • Stock, par levels, ordering and supplier relationships held by us
  • Monthly P&L review, with the decisions that come out of it
  • Training, Promotion and Gastronomy fold in underneath at no separate engagement
  • You keep the venue and the product. We keep it running

The Garage

Bar and operations, ongoing

Dahka holds bar and operations at The Garage on a continuing basis. The rota goes out, the order goes in, the standards get checked. Week after week, in person, on the floor.

This is The Full Operation, already running. It is the clearest answer to what Management actually means in practice.
