    Great video James :) it's brilliant you have high standards and want your businesses to look pristine. Also the in house repair of play centre equipment and surfaces is a brill idea too.

    Great insight into your business. £4-£5 for 2-3 scoops of ice cream is too expensive when your out as a family.

      I appreciate that. But here’s the breakdown.
      20% for the product
      20% for the overhead
      20% for Vat
      20% for Labour
      20% for profit
      The reality is our staffing works out at 35%
      So on £5 sale we’d make 5% contribution to head office. So between 25p and 50p to central head office.
      Out of this we pay corp tax and reinvest a lot of this money.
      The other option is volume; in reality, most people only visit leisure venues once a year as they like variety. Supermarkets work to lower margin because people spend circa £120 per visit and visit regularly.
      We get around £3 spend per head on food and it has been as high as £5 ( this includes Babies as we count our customers as they come in)

    Great content but handy hint - easier to film (video) the pieces of work you need done with your voice commentary alongside it. Saves time and removes possibility of misunderstanding etc.

      you are wrong my friend, The two best places I've been a manager at was where we gave more slack on the leash. you have to get the right people though and it works better if the wages are good for the job they are doing.

    Hi James, please could you advise.
    I'm a small local business one man band and I make stickers for vans etc (vinyl signwriting)
    How would you pitch to other companies so I could do the vans for them.
    I'm not sure how to approach this sending an email I don't think will cut it.
    Much appreciated thankyou
